Searching for a good anti-virus - 13CentKiller - 07-26-2008
' Wrote:I use McAfee EnterpriseI laughed at that one:laugh:
McAfree doesn't work with FL on Vista. And my friend has had nothing but problems with it. His computer gets the Blue Screen of Death because of it on a regular basis. But cannot remove it, because his parents spent one hundred bucks on the ONE YEAR license!
McAfee is a no-no for me:nono:

*Gack* McAfee? *GAG*
AVG is slow as sin, I can't stand trying to play a game that uses a lot of memory and then have my friggin' Anti-Virus lagging too, that just kills the power of the game and my computer.
McAfee is like satan's own version of Anti-Virus, everytime I've had that anti-virus my computer crashes, viruses get through, and the registration fails and I have to keep trying to fix it.
Norton is good, but slows the PC down WAY too much, similar to AVG
The best one, in my honest opinion, is the one I posted before. It doesn't slow my PC down, good options, and keeps my PC safe. I can even turn on my IP masking software and surf the internet invisible, which is a handy plus.

Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0
Doesn't eat resources and does a good job.

Let me guess...You have a single core processor with 256MB RAM and a 3RPM Bigfoot hard drive:P
Dude I have AVG on all my computers. the benifits out weigh the cons. And the only cons are the next version ain't coming out fast enough;)
Just checked: Total memory usage in total, 36,025KB out of the 3GB I have in my laptop.

Thankyou AVG Link scanner
And besides. With all my rick-rolling gags, i check every link myself these days, just in-case.
You can't rick-roll the rick-rolling master kay?

ESET NOD32.

PeerGuardian is excelent. I cannot stress that enough. SpyBot S&D and SpyDoctor both do a fantastic job. Ad-Aware is also a good 3rd party adware remover, and comes with a "real-time"scanner also. But for that function you must have the Pro version. And the Pro version isn't free.
CA Anti-Virus and CA anti-Spyware are also great. But DO NOT install the suite. It is worse than Norton.

I'm assuming from this statement that you use two anti-virus programs?
Oh and I like panda, I'm planning to download it soon.
