Solved Which Anti-Virus Do you Use with Windows 7?

[noyb]

I was using AVG free .. But the resident shield slowed down my computer.
I was afraid to try Zone Alarm for a Firewall ...
So now I'm running the free Comodo Security Anti-Virus and Firewall ...
for Vista 32 in my W7-7137x86
Free Firewall - Download the Best Firewall Protection and Anti-Virus Scan Software from Comodo

So far .. So good.

comodo firewall is very good but the antivirus isn't.

Thanks .. My neighbor swears by Comodo firewall .. I wasn't sure about the AV.
He usually has a pretty good idea of what he's talking about.

I have my UAC turned off and it looks like the Comodo firewall is picking up the slack.
I'm also using WinPatrol to help out with what UAC "should" be doing .. but doesn't.
But this is going beyond the Anti-Virus subject.

Seems to be a long time to BOOT. 238s = 3m57.6s so lets say 3m58s.
mine start 1m55s - 47 services running. AV, AS, AM, FW, Internet Speed monitor, all MS services.
shutdown 20s

I use nothing except ESET Smart Security, I set my Firewall to interactive.

AVG 8.5 Free
Easy to download, install and use, especially using very little system resources.
It functions outstandingly as real-time safety ratings for all search results in Google, Yahoo and MSN/Live search.

avast 4.8 home

avast 4.8 home, cant stand NORTON! slows your computer down way too much, avast is free and does the job, I love avast

I use to say the same except the newest Norton actually is pretty good and I am using it. AVAST is good as well

I wanted to use Norton, but when I put in the Norton Internet Security 2009 disk, it said it didn't support this OS. Therefore, I had to use Avast, which is also very good.

Hmm try downloading the latest trial version of norton. Then put in the activation code you have for your disk.

McAfee is best so far for me

P.S.: One of my friends bought that stupid Trend Micro thing. He wanted to kill himself afterwards... LULZ!!!

Wow, thanks! It works now.

I personally think the Norton 360 Beta is top notch. The background scans and clean-ups are a must have and since I had 360 2.0 b4 Windows 7 i had to go back to Norton. The only downside is that there was an activation problem and I had to do a bunch of research on the norton forums to find a solution but they just released a new version that fix'ed the activation problem and it automatically re-activates every 14 days.

Nod32

I think of you can use McAfee beta, it's so good, stable and faster than other, and have a important plus, it's free until 31/Dec/2009.

I use Norton Anti-virus Gamer Edition 2009 =P

Loving it, its nice looking, doesn't slow me down, and actually works opposed to what people seem to think.

Norton doesn't suck, which is what everyone thinks. Most of those people are those who used it back in the late 1990's when it did suck so they assume it will forever suck.

The only time I notice its there is when its telling me that its updating, or scanning. The rest of the time I completely forget about it. =P

With AVG restart time was 238s . Removed it and restart time was 58 wow. Installed avira antivir and restart time is 88. Any better suggestion?

Samsung nc10 with windows 7137.

Holy snap! That's ridiculous, it almost sounds like a hardware problem. Maybe I'm spoiled but I restart in under 30 seconds. Try ESET Nod, I've never had any problems with it. And by all means, stay away from ANYthing Norton makes.

That hurt. =(
