I've been using AVG Internet Security since version 8.0

I have not been infected once yet, on XP, Vista or 7

KAV is the preferred..

On my laptop I run free AVG for now until I upgrade my OS.

 

[bossie]

Bit Defender or Microsoft Security Essentials

You should always view any testing with a slightly wary eye, but this may help someone make a choice.

People, People, People!

Enough with the opinions! It's time for some statistics and FACTS:

See:
1. Antivirus Test Results (performed by av-test.org) -- http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02


Avast ranks as The Best Free Antivirus Software.

A-Squared Anti-virus has been rated the best. I'm using it now and I think it's amazing!

I think you read that wrong, it says that Avira AntiVir is the best.

I was using avast, until a trojan slipped by it and ad-aware caught it. So now I use MSE, it has been useful and effective so far. (and yes it was up to date)

Avast ranks as The Best Free Antivirus Software.

I would think that, taking the worth of your computer's contents into account, you would want the best "Consumer-level" anti-virus application, not just the best FREE av app.

Even one such as NOD32 is just $ 39.99 from newegg.com, it may be expensive to some of you, but how expensive is a Trojan or some cracker using your system to DDoS a web site or sending you a key logger and getting your Credit Card information?

Just a thought, eh.

I'm actaully in the market for a secruity system for my computers and so far I've seen comments on everything. I'm taking that NOD32, A-Squared Anti-virus, and AVG (free) are the most recommended?

 

[Cold Canuck]

Have you already picked a software firewall?

Take a look at COMODO, it has multiple levels of protection (or paranoia :-]), is free for non-commercial use and is very effective.

Some people get frustrated because it alerts to all of the things that might be signs of suspicious activity and doesn't only do so with inbound/outbound traffic, it watches all aspects of interaction between files and applications.

Cheers, eh.

Bitdefender is best antivirus from security point of view. Only drawback is that it is for fast computers.

 

[GaryCantley]

Neil,

Although I agree that Kaspersky is the best around, it doesnt catch all Malware.

Until about 2 months ago I would have agreed, but in those 2 months I have seen 5 machines with Kaspersky and Malware.

 

[dave1701]

Disregard the post before me, he is a spammer. I use Microsoft Security Essentials, and my computer has been virus free as long as I have used it. It has caught quite a few viruses on my flash drive that were from other computers.

Use MSE myself on a laptop and a HTPC. While its caught a few things here and there, I've still been meaning to upgrade to nod32 for a few months now, I just don't know if I could trust MSE... esp on the HTPC, if I lose all the data on that I'd loose my mind!
