Kaspersky Anti-Virus is fine. Amongst the best infact.

Their "Internet Security" software is a bit bloated however.

Re: Anti Virus & Internet Security.

You cant go wrong with KIS, I have been using it for years.

Griff is entitled to his opinion but I disagree.

Re: Anti Virus & Internet Security.

I'd highly recommend Avast, tbh...it's free as well, though I have the full, registered version.

Internet security = f*ck off and don't rip me off, thanks.

Firewall = Router.
AntiVirus = Avast.
Weekly scanner = Malware Bytes.

Job done.

£20+ per year. It's hardly "ripping" people off is it!

Router/Windows for Firewall, does a perfect job.
Malwarebytes (Full version) for AV, which is awesome. Has IP protection etc, so even that prevents dodgy IPs accessing anything.

Re: Anti Virus & Internet Security.

Thanks guys. I have AVG but it keeps asking me to pay for it. It was free for ages but now its not. I will try this Kaspersky for 12 months. 50P per month per computer is not bad.

Re: Anti Virus & Internet Security.

microsoft security essentials its free its small system footprint and tbh its really not bad

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

I use avg no issues with it, dont even know it's on so what's not to like?

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

Another vote for MS security essentials. Does a great job on my XP and Win 7 machines.

 

[Sargara]

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

Another vote for AVG. I install it on everything really and never had any complaints.

 

[daveski]

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

And another AVG user here. What do you have against it?

 

[Sarah]

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

never had any complains for AVG

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

AVG Free.

Anyone remember Donna asking how much it was to buy? LOL.

 

[kardiak]

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

avg again. but if it gives you grief give Avast a try

 

[Gareth]

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

AVG also, no probs.

I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials as well now, was using AVG, but it decided to stop updating, so changed.

All looks good so far :approve:

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

Microsoft Security Essentials

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

Went for the MS Security Essentials one for now!

Had AVG on my old laptop and found it too intrusive tbh, also wanted to try something new!

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

Thanks btw, LOL!

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

I'm using the AVG also, never had any problems..

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

Avast!

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

Just switched over to MSE on my games machine. Seems ok. I have been a fan of NOD32 for a long time but have recently decided sack paying for anti-virus.

AVG Free seems a little like bloatware these days TBH, hence me trying out MSE.

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

I use AVG, have done for years.... although that virus which mascurades as a security tool broke through it last wee and was a b**ch to get rid of

Re: Free Anti-Virus, Which One?

AVG on all my computers.

Re: Free anti virus software?

I've used AVG for years but have had a few issues of late with their scanner not picking up some dodgy files.

Now using Avira (free version)

I assume this is for a Windows machine and not a Mac...
