and am looking into getting the best spyware and virus protection...i dont like norton...hows avg internet security? zone alarm internet security...pnada internet security....any others that will catch anything or almost anything...and any issues with the one you currently use? game conflicts etc.... Title: What antivirus & anti-spyware you use? Post by: rip|buzinator on September 24, 2007, 02:40:19 PM I use AVG Free.
and the only issue i have with AVG's stuff is that on a machine connected via wifi, avg will try to update before the wifi is connected and produces and error that it can't connect (duh) ... Once connected it works fine, just an annoyance. I believe Nod32 (http://www.eset.com/) is generally considered the best. At work we currently run McAfee VirusScan & AntiSpyware 8.5i ... it does function, i can't complain about whether it's effective. However, it is bloated. Each process related to it consumes about 5 - 10 times the RAM of AVG. It's a pig. I wish we weren't locked into it at work but we are, volume licensing and contracts etc, what a pain. (although enterprise management via ePO is pretty awesome) Title: What antivirus & anti-spyware you use? Post by: rip|Badley on September 25, 2007, 01:59:30 PM there are three programs i use

And yes Nod32 I have heard is a very good, just not free. Title: What antivirus & anti-spyware you use?

You'll want to right-click, save as on that the download button, that way it shouldn't time out, in Firefox anyway. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/avg/index Title: What antivirus & anti-spyware you use? Post by: rip|forkev on December 27, 2007, 09:57:36 AM cool
