ZA did use CA (Computer Associates) anti-virus.

I use Nod32.

[pfloyd]

try using Kaspersky or eScan, they have the most powerfl search and removal tools.

Well, i did have Kaspersky scan! It was awesome. Took hours to scan your whole computer which is good! . Now i remove it, than, later i wanted to reinstall it back onto my system, well, when i do that and restart my computer and log into my user it gives me this "Windows Has Encounterd... blah blah blah." something like that! and it starts counting down from like 60 seconds! The only way i could get back in was through Safe Mode! and i had to delete the whole Kaspersky Folder for everything to get it working properly


I am not sure actually what the message was.. Come to think about it i dont think it was a 60 sec count down thing. I was thinking about another problem. I can install Kaspersky again and if it gives me that problem ill be sure to post here exactly what i saw! i cant take a screenshot so i could just explain what i see.

Do NOT Use McCrappy or Norton,. They do far more harm than good.

I stress NOD 32. It is far better on resources than AVG or Avast and it has better detection.

Run any of a number of Virus tests and you will see.

AVG is slow to detect the eicar files etc.

Matter of opinion.

Avg ftw.

And it rebooted after 60 seconds? - That's the Sasser or Blaster virus on your PC! - Not Kaspersky :eek:

No , actually it is a matter of fact not opinion.

I like AVG I just stated the fact that it is slower to detect than NOD. It is also harder on resources than NOD, but better than most. This is easily determined through benchmarks I have done.

If I were to use a free AV I would use AVG. I use to use AVG free on some systems and AVGPro on my primary system but now use NOD for everything.

I do however use AVG for my clients PC's unless they want to pay for NOD32

I am using ESET Smart Security. It is awesome! The thing about it, is that it has a scan that is always going. It scans EVERYTHING you do and it aint even slow! I downloaded a hack for a game (Trainer) and before it even finished downloading ESET Detected it as a virus! and stopped the download!

No this is a OPINION and not fact. As you have no proof that Avast is better than NOD32 or Kaspersky or any other AV. You can try to point me to any site you want but i can point you right back to plenty others that will say some other AV is better. I can lead you right to PCWorld where Norton rules the world. So it si not fact. This is just your opinion.

Your benchmarks i can dispute as well as you have not shown any kinds of test results or what kind of system you put it on or anything at all. I haev run tests as well and AVG out performed Avast. NOD32 was the best and Kaspersky was 2nd best.

Now please start to play nice. This is all opinions here. there are no hard core facts when it comes to the best AV as every site out there says something different. If you can not agree to this then please do not post in this section. Trying to scream and enforce your opinion as fact will not work.

Thank you.
