I just recently installed the new AVG 8.0, well i've been using for 2 days and while cleaning my PC with CCleaner or another software, it messed up my AVG and I can't seem reinstall it. Did a clean uninstall. But it still failed to install and I decided not to use AVG anymore. Expect for the older one 7.5 and never had a problem with that version until 8.0 came along. So anyone would suggest any good antivirus with greater detection rate. I just installed Avira Antiviv Free, althought i don't know if this software is any good. I'm still testing it. Any suggestions greatly appreciate. Especially geeks. Hehehe...

NOD32 and kaspersky are best softwares

Brian

I am still testing Avira Antivir as well - I am somewhat annoyed by the pop-up messages.

I have heard some positive feedbacks on Kaspersky Anti-Virus but I haven't tried the software.

Wow, I installed AVG 7.5 to my customers for many times and no problem so far. Last week, I installed AVG 8.0 to one of customer from last week and I don't see any issue it so far.

Something wrong with your computer.

Norton is best one ever!!!!!!!!!!!

It might be, but I'm a tech myself, so i make no mistakes. Because AVG 8.0 is somehow confider to some software so cleaning the remnant of another software will messed AVG 8.0, what a shame. 7.5 is better

Road Runner offer 1 year free CA (computer Associate) Internet Security Suite. I already installed it in my lappy. I uninstalled it's firewall and use Windoz firewall because it's bogging down my lappy's performance. It's doing good so far.

Swishy, You probably have serious virus since AVG can't install on one folder. happen to me before. You'll have to reformat and reinstall OS to get rid of virus. Hackers had a way to program virus to prevent new antivirus program from installing. In that way to keep system infected and give you a hard time.

My advice, Reformat, Reinstall, Install AVG and scan it. After that you may run free to surf the net.

OR you can copy AVG to CD or flashdrive and reformat hdd, reinstall then install AVG then plug Ethernet to go online to update. This prevent virus from invading your PC w/o antivirus. Happens to me before. I reformatted, reinstalled OS on my friend's pc w/o antivirus and then left the pc running w/ network hook for 15 min (was downloading Smilie Central that she asked for), Bam!! It got virus. I had to do over then install antivirus then plug network back on. Sheesh.

None antivirus are perfect. So you'll do your homework. It's good to ask around. Remmy that Antivirus and Firewall does eat up performance. I know NOD32 and Kasperski don't hoarde performance which Gamers love to use. So You decide!!

Hmmmm... interesting. While surfing around the internet, it seem that Bitdefender is the best antivius and won the award Antivirus of the year. NOD32 and Kaspersky came 2 and 3. But can anybody here clarify that? I'm going for the suite pack so i wanna know which one of these had the best detection rate and low system resource and protect real time. I use reformat my PC and I know know which one to decide.

I've been with BitDefender fer long time til I stop usin' Windows last year. Something fer now and/or prefer free... AVG Free Edition is a good choice (it was my second choice). Fer spywares, I used Windows Defender, I know it is Microsoft but it is actually a decent software!

I used had Norton on my old HP and it SUCKS!!!!

Norton killed performance on Pentium 4 (Northwood) with 512 MB RAM so enough.

The Sims 2 is so choppier and horrible laggy when I left Norton enabled.

Same here. Better than have Internet Security and SystemWorks. Much light and dont take much performance or memory. There's new 2.0 version I might try out. Only big down is it dont have manual antivirus file scanning I need most on firefox.

I agree NOD32 is very good and I use them after I dumped Kaspersky. I think Kaspersky is good but it takes a long time to scan the entire hard drive. I prefer to use NOD32 since it's written in assembly language which makes it run much faster and better memory management. Other programs are written in C++ or higher level languages which makes it little slower and eats up more memory.

All anti-virus reviewers have different opinions.. some say Kaspersky is better than NOD32 and they all have different tests which gives different results. There's no straight answer which anti-virus is best for you since everybody have different tastes or preferences. Some like cool GUI, others like security features or speed of the scanning for viruses.

Avast and AVG are good FREE anti-virus if you can't afford to buy NOD32, BitDefender or Kaspersky.

I used kaspersky internet security
Its good

I tried the Nortons 360 14 day free trial... The trial ended on day 6 and I sent complaints to Norton and no answer. And Nortons 360 was a computer hog using a lot of the cpu resources. I went back to my ole company .. All is well.. Depending on your computer system, match it with the appropiate antivirus software resources...
