cuz i have nod32 and kaspersky anti-virus pro installed on my pc, would it b ok? or would it cause some lost of resource and slowdown of pc?

 

[Bunchofstuff]

[kalson]

[Bunchofstuff]

Kaspersky and Nod32 are the best AV's around, however having both running at the same time can cause problems. Choose one to keep for real-time protection, you can custom install the other just as an on-demand scanner.

thats what i do, i use AVG as a real time scanner, while using kaspersky as an on demand scanner,
to save resources, i simply uninstall kaspersky after using it, and reinstall it, whenever requrired.

Then thats suitable in my opinion, you may find having two AVs [such as KAV and NAV] running at the same time will heavily slow down your computer and its a PAIN.

My favourite AV is probably KAV.

kk thx a lot guys i jus im goin to try with kaspersky since i read some reviews bout it, more ppl favor KAV over NOD32, thx a lot

but do remember to scan ur computer from time to time, with another anti virus as well, not all anti virus companies have a real up to date virus database, sometimes, ul be surprised to find items, undetectable by your anti virus.

Follow the sticky. If you still have problems, post the hijackthis log.

 

[kalson]

[Buzz1927]

Can't see anything in the log. How do you know you got a trojan?

 

[kalson]

Ok, if you think that's it, download Ewido. Run it in safemode, let it clean anything it finds. Take a note of anything it can't fix. Boot back to normal mode and try downloading again.
