Antivirus



  Milltek'd 182
Don't know if this has been done before. But anyone got any ideas on the best antivirus/security suite. I have McAfee security centre but its waaaayyyy out of date so thought its about time i downloaded a new one. Anyone help?
Cheers,

Dave

i use norton internet security suite and have not had a single problem or virus in 3 yrs, people say its rubbish and take up lots of resources but i haven't had a problem and its protected me so job done, can't fault it.

i do get it free each christmas through work from symantec though so thats the main reason I use it.

Hmm...well it seems a bit pot luck!!! Think i might take the plunge with NOD32 or renew my McAfee.
Norris_309 - I've heard AVG is pretty good, you could always get the serial for it from www.serials.ws ;)

Sounds nice! Does it do the same job as a security centre, i.e have a firewall etc.. built in??! Or do i need to download that seperately?

it doesnt have a firewall, but it is scannin your computer as soon as you turn it on, it has an on demand scanner for when you wanna scan certain files, or your full comp, and also has MS outlook anti-virus plugin.

software firewalls are s**t anyway tbh.

lol ok cool. So i just dont bother with a firewall...just have the NOD32?

If you're using a modem then any software firewall (even a sh*t one) is better than nothing. If you're using a router and know what you're doing then a software firewall isn't really necessary.
 
if you want a decent software firewall, id suggest outpost, its s**t hot if you set it up properly. you canget a 30 day trial, off their site and activate it anothr way..

Echo what he said. If you have a router and havent done anything daft like forwarding all ports to one IP then dont bother with a Software based firewall.

AVG update day today from 7.1 to 7.5, still free! That and Zonealarm are more than enough to cover crappy Norton. Never have problems!
