i used a cracked version of Kapersky, it's a pretty good AV if you can get your hands on it.

I used NOD 32 becouse it is very speed AV, he is using very little resource of memory and update is small (few KB), and has big virus definition datbase.

The NOT free ones!

I come with the dilemma between NORTON and PANDA.. these antiviruses aren't free but they are absolutely the best ones.. Panda is better antivirus while Norton has better firewall.

I usually use adware SE and spybot, but all my virus/spyware problems went away when I started running my windows updates regularly.

(im realy low on money as in i dont have any)

errr im gonna get killed for suggesting this but it has to run on windows (are there any for linux out there? is it worth bothering? do viruses exist around its beautiful code?)[/u]

I use openBSD and openBSD has such thing as a virus (I dont think there are viruses in linux wither) but I've heared good things about AVG. If other people havent made it clear choice for you already, then I'll recommend AVG :)

anti virus

Postby Krezarian on Wed Sep 20, 2006 8:10 pm

I suggest "avast!".

Its the best one out there, in my opinion. Online scanner are also free and not bad either, for example MKS virus scanner which can be found here: http://mks.com.pl/skaner/ or the Panda antivirus.

Well i think Kaspersky is a good antivirus, it's not free so you'll need to pay for it or something, also a good one is Prevx but you gotta be careful with it cause you could get a virus with it but i promise it's really really good, though you'll have to pay for it too Sad

It's one of the best rated free anti-virus scanners around.


I gotta agree with this. I absolutely love AVG! Great product!

Why use free software when you can use any antivirus for free? I know this is illegal and even immoral, but when you think that an original softawre costs over 100 $ (for good antivirus protection like symantec products) there isn't any solution(at least for there isn't)
