What's the best anti-virus to buy?

Question

Hi there, I'm getting a new computer and was just wondering which anti-virus I should buy for it? What's the best one in the shops?

Answer 1

Norton is a good program.  I disagree with the person who said don't buy it. I have used norton for years and it can be uninstalled without them chargeing you.  However if you need help to uninstal any program, the vendor may charge you.

The only bad thing I would say about norton it is a processer hog compared to some of the others out there but you can bet norton is one of the best out there and gets the job done.

Another anti virus I have heard good things about is Fprot

Answer 3

Obviously NOD32 it is the best antivirus to buy in curent days.

Answer 4

I am not sure But DO NOT USE NORTON they tried to charge me to uninstall their program DONT USE THEM.

Answer 5

It depends on yr choice. I'm currently using Avast Professional Edition. I like this s/w because unlike other anti-virus, it can kill virus before loading Windows. Other recommendation are Kaspersky and Eset NOD32.

Answer 6

This whole thing is free....................................... I have copied this whole list because you tend to have a virus and can't remove it with your current anti-virus, OR i am displaying this because you have just told me that you use Norton, AVG, Macafee, or some other virus i do not recommend. but this is what i recommend: I am going to show you one of the very few working and good and working firewall you may use, i will give you a really good anti-virus that works really well and can detect 98% off all viruses, and updates nearly 4 times a week!. I will also give you immunizations to your computer/laptop that include immunizing your computer/laptop with anti-spyware to block it before entering your laptop/computer. You will get an antispyware which also is really good. I will also give you an adviser that will show you weather the site is potentially harmful or not. and one more thing a really good ANTISPYWARE xD_______________________________ For your Anti-virus needs I TRUELY recommend getting Avast! antivirus because well i had norton, switched to avg both found no spyware and viruses, but i tried Avast (download free edition from http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-... ) (you must also register the program for FREE at: http://www.avast.com/eng/home-registrati... ) and guess what i had over 80 viruses!!!!! that is why i recommend it. now i know AVG is REALLY popular, but i can guarantee you it has a really bad virus database................................... ........................................... for your Anti-Spyware needs: you HAVE TO HAVE A REALLY GOOD ONE and that one is called: SUPERantiSpyware home edition (found at http://www.superantispyware.com ) ........................................... Now you need immunizations for future protections and a decrease in 70% chance of getting some kind of spyware. For that you may use Spyware blaster( found at: www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.... ) ................... I also promised you a SITEadviser! for that i advise Mcafeesiteadviser (this can be found at www.siteadviser.com ).......................................... And lastly i will give you a firewall. I deeply recommend using PC Tools firewall PLUS (That can be found here: http://www.pctools.com/firewall/ ).......................................... IMPORTANT NOTE: REMEMBER TO ONLY USE ONE ANTIVIRUS BUT U MAY USE AS MANY ANTISPYWARE PROGRAMS as you want. congratulations you are now equipped with the best protection you will need but getting those full versions might even get you to a better security level, but do not worry this is what i deeply recommend.

Answer 7

BitDefender 2008 is an outstanding product with a user–friendly interface that will scan all existing files on your computer, all incoming and outgoing emails, IM transfers and all other network traffic.

Answer 8

Kaspersky is the best!! I strogly reccomend it to you! I have been using it since 1996 and  I have tried all the Antivisrus software since then, and again I am using KAV!

Answer 9

The best anti-virus that I have used so far is NOD32 by Eset. It is not only an anti-virus, but an anti-spyware/adware, and a firewall. It runs very discretely in the background and you never have to deal with annoying pop ups or computer slowdowns.
