So what is your favorite virus scanner?
I prefer what Trend-Micro offers (their free Pc-cillin), but I was wondering what all of you use? I gave up on norton and mcaffee awhile ago due to their constant update expense and horrible phone support.
|
I use AVG, because it's free and it does a good job.
|
AVG all the way :thumbsup:
|
I use eTrust EZ Anti Virus. I used to use Norton, but I think their AV is too bloated. I tried AVG for a while and it was ok, but I did get a virus that it couldn;t handle. Switched to EZ, no problems since.
|
clamav
http://www.clamav.net/ |
I started using AVG 7.0 yesterday and it found a virus that Norton hadn't found earlier in the day. I'll keep it so long as it continues to work.
|
Another vote for AVG. I use it on all of my systems.
I tend to stay away from the BS websites, so I'm not much of a test. I put it on my wife's best friend's PC, who dowloads crap from Kazaa all day and it has caught a lot of stuff. She always complains to me how many notifications she gets from it. It doesn't stop her from downloading though. |
I use TrendMicro Corporate. At work, I have the servers and network setup on the SMB antivirus from TrendMicro. For the linux servers and workstations, I use clamav.
For home computers, AVG is good. |
Another vote for AVG. They recently had a bundled deal including kerio personal firewall - two things on my list for less than both separately.
I regularly use a free online scanner (trend micro one) as a cross check, but so far everything is sweet. |
I use Norton
|
Panda Platinum
|
I use Kaspersky Anti-Virus (Personal Edition). The virus definitions get updated very regularly (usually once a day, at a minimum).
I've been very pleased with this program so far. |
ClamWin
789 |
I use Kaspersky Anti Virus Control, dont know how well it works compared to others, but it seems to work ok, so im fine with it.
|
Does AVG have any spyware that comes along with it (since it is free)?

I use Norton on all machines at work, I have the symantec corporate license with a central server to do all the updates and everything. But I installed AVG on my personal laptop cause it was free. Seems to work well enough.
|
I use NAV and have no trouble with it.
|
I use NAV+Internet Security, it seems to do the job. And best of all no pop-ups!
|
Hmm well I will have to give AVG a try then! Thanks guys.
|
I have AVK 2005 w/ the RAV engine and KAV engine on my laptop.
I use Mks_vir & Kaspersky AV on my desktop. It's a little overkill, but it works great. |
Gamers running NAV - do you disable real time scanning before starting your games? I haven't in the past, I was curious if helped speed up load times and other stuff if you turn it off.
|
I run NAV and do not disable real time scanning. So I guess I am curious as well.
