AVG Antivirus is the best antivirus. I've been using it for over a year and my computer's never been affected by any virus or malware.

I'm surprised to see that AVAST didn't make it to your list! 😒

Don't forget AntiVir! Its free too.

If possible, I'd vote for that & AVG together. Using both at the same time gives you a peace of mind 😁

We can have max 6 options. If AVAST makes an entry, one of the existing onces will have to go.

Yeah its an antivirus Sofware mostly used in offices. It also comes Sify Broadband package. This is the only antivirus that removes brontek virus effectively.

Although I do use & like McAfee, my favorite because it works well, nice interface and is free is Lavasoft ad-aware. Other items I like are Spybot s&d and cwshredder.

Have been using Norton for quite some time now and I'm told the new 360 rocks. But I'll still go for NOD32.

Avast? Biggie can you tell me more about it? And what about Quickheal? Heard its good

@thebigk • May 15, 2008

AVAST actually rocks on my Vista powered notebook. One thing I like about it is that it updates frequently and I haven't had any problems or system performance issues.

AVG - I tried it but someone told me (here on CE) that it only checks for the viruses/trojans but doesn't remove them. AVAST had great reviews on other forums and I decided to switch to it.

I'm not quite sure about QuickHeal. They do advertise a lot though 😉 .

Thats sooo not true! Its a fully functioning AV, much like AVAST.

@mahul-ZxpiLA • May 17, 2008

Have any of you had any experience with the "kinza.exe" virus?? My updated NOD32 with its standard protection could not detect it. It was only when i scanned with full protection in safe mode that it was detected, but by then part of the damage had be done and a few system files had to be deleted. My system is s bit wobbly now.

@muffy-KKO5Hf • May 25, 2008

Nod32 is no doubt the leader of them all. Its performs flawlessly without being a burden on the machine and is reasonably priced 😎. The Threatsense technology gives it the edge over all the other antivirus in the market. But the most attractive feature is its simple uncluttered user interface.

Avast Sucks!!
Please dont beleave it
it will false detect many of the flash programs and cracks
Use Norton,McAfee,Karspersky or Avg
Along with this use Spybot and Lavasoft ad-aware

Ya know, since no one is voting for Bit Defender, might as well get rid of that entry and put the Avira AntiVir software. Blows all other free anti virus scanners away in terms of detection. The only caveat is the updates, which can be slow 😔
