Poll: Which type of antivirus do you use, recommend?

[Dinesh]

F-Secure 2010.

tried F secure. seems to slow down internet due to some reasons. Also, takes up a lot of memory due to its more than 10 processes running all the time.

I like it, nothing to complain. I'm using F-Secure also on my Nokia N97 and N95.

Well no questions about the mobile security. I m running it on my Nokia N73 and 5800 without any issues.

No way!! Where's Sunbel VIPRE??? Its much lower on system resources then NOD32 and ESS(i've used em all!) But how's MSE ?

 

[TheSchaft]

Interesting poll. Windows Defender is essentially replaced by MSE, AVG is missing also.

I currently use Avast! Home Edition along with Comodo Firewall, Windows Defender, and Spybot Search & Destroy.

MSE looks good; I'm waiting to hear some info on how it compares to Avast; I'veb een hearing conflicting reports of which is better overall. ^_^

was using avast home edition but changed to bitdefender for a change and was shocked to see the that the firewall slowed down the internet download speed by almost 60%.....!!! quickly changed back to avast again....but by reading all the reviews seems like NOD32 is the best will give it a try.....

 

[Mercurial]

it is =)! try it

 

[robbyrob]

NOD32 here too.. its just always worked for me!! actually I have tried them all at one point or another. Especially when I worked in IT. I still with NOD. just like there program and its never let me down...

Told earlier I'm using F-Secure Antivirus. It's true it has a lot of processes running, in my machine just now 10 processes. But these processes are consuming quite a little of RAM and almost no CPU time.

Allowing Browsing Protection Toolbar slightly slows Firefox and IE down. Personally I don't use this toolbar, my tests show no difference FSAV installed or not.

Strange. MSE won't install in XP Mode, saying it failed the validation check. :sarc:

I found that out the other week too.
Try downloading it through IE whilst in XP-Mode, of course the validation check will happen there and it will pass. Strange bug IMO

Aaaanyway, my recommendation is to use MSE, i've used it from Beta and have to say that, i'm very impressed.

Anyone having issues with Kaspersky on win7 x64? Started crashing on me 2 days ago. Crashes on every startup. Gonna reinstall nod32 if I cant figure this out.

One thing that i dont like about F Secure is that there is no Pause button during scan.

 

[gautham]

any issues with the download speed being killed by NOD32...coz i am a download freak and cannot take any AV with firewall killing the download speed....asking this question coz am about to try NOD32 and had a really bad experience with bitdefender killing my dwld speed.......(currently using avast Home edition)

 

[Mercurial]

nah... it doesn't really stop downloads... unless the URL where you downloaded it is on the blacklist... once the file lands in to you're hard-drive it scans it... if its a virus its gone if not then its all good =)... but it doesn't kill it while transit (DLing);P

AVG for me, but always open for new AV's if they are better.
