What is the best Anti Virus software you have ever tried?

  • Kaspersky
  • AVG
  • Symmantec Norton
  • BitDefender
  • McAfee
  • Others....mention below

I wish no one will vote for Symmantec because it literally made me sick :hmm: and I am in progress to get a new one but need your reviews first

You can multiple chose if you want.

Oh! Do you think this is practical? :hmm:
and how many times you do that monthly?
 
Edit: VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware seems to be at the top of the list for me, doesn't slow your PC down

It's safe as per my usage :ermm: Only when I feel there may be a problem[coming from other computers on local network/others' pen Drives].

Don't remember the last time I checked MY computer, must've been nearly a year :X But I just checked Dad's today.

So you are using your computer without any Anti-Virus?

And why you uninstall it? why not keep it installed in your machine?
 
^^^^^^^I was gonna ask the same question you should really have a security suite with anti-virus on all the time

Well... I don't like it disturbing me every now and then :X I do manage well without an Anti-Virus and System Restore.

Yeah Bro i get your point they do get annoying but you really should have something to detect anti-virus all the time...why don't you just use Mircrosoft free anti-virus and anti-spyware its very discreet and rarely annoys you :D.

I've tried all of those in the list including some others but, I personally prefer bitdefender.

Kaspersky is the best hands down... not only is the software top notch but its user friendly and by user friendly i mean EASY TO USE.

thats what i bought for my MIL... she is only a basic computer user and has little to no trouble using it...

its a great program! i give the program 5 stars!
 
AVG. It's free, simple, and hardly takes up any resources. What more could you want?! :p

I also like Microsoft Security Essentials.

The weird thing is Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) is Awesome when used in an Enterprise (based on the policies setup by the organisation that is) but Norton.....is crap.

I personally don't use Anti-Virus software, I don't have the pleasure of using windows :D
 
I seem to always return to AVG. Altough on occasion I switch to other FREE ones like threatfire. I have not found any of the paid ones to be better than the free ones and AVG to be much better than most paid ones. I absolutely hate symantec (Norton) and think I'd rather have a virus than install symantec.
 
JazakumAllah khair everyone voted.

Now this is what I was thinking about....many friends advised me to get the Kaspersky because they said its too powerful.

I used the Endpoint one and it was based on the policies setup by the University..but still, it is not that good.
