sean5900xt Posted February 11, 2006 CID Share Posted February 11, 2006 I am looking to buy a anti virus and was wondering what you guys recomend. I have been using AVG Free but it keeps messing up and wont update and i keep having to reinstall it. Right now iam most considering Panda Titanium 2006 antivirus + antispyware, because it seems to have the best UI and scans fast. But I was just wondering what you recommend. For now iam on a 30 day trial of PC - Cillin which seems a little slow. Anyways thanks!

Swimmer Posted February 11, 2006 CID Share Posted February 11, 2006 ^ he is right.. Kaspersky has the fastest response times to virus outbreaks out of all of the seperate manufactures. I am going to have to scan this chart.. it is really interesting.. You would be suprised who wasnt at the top of the list.

Sometimes I have to reboot to get updates, but don't forget that AVG says it will only update one time a day on the free edition. Also try the vcleaner in Grisoft as well, don't to forget to follow instructions, I also had to copy to a disk because could not find in safe mode but I could pull it up on the disc. And don't go directly back into windows, go into safe mode with networking and clean up debris with AVG free, then go back into windows. Not had a bit of problem since.

wingzero2309 Posted February 13, 2006 CID Share Posted February 13, 2006 http://www.kaspersky.com/ Kaspersky AntiVirus hands down. Best antivirus i've ever used (i've used Norton, Symantec Corp. Ed., McAfee, AVG, NOD32, IBM Antivirus, and Trend Micro Antivirus...they just stand no chance against Kaspersky) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/11190-anti-virus-suggestion/#findComment-117847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted February 13, 2006 CID Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well panda platinum 2006 arrived today, can't wait to install it on my computers, best part is it got here in one day and was only 10 bucks.

cholla Posted February 14, 2006 CID Share Posted February 14, 2006 I haven't had any problems with AVG it updates once a day like its supposed too.I've only needed to run it in safe mode once to get rid of a couple of viruses that it wouldn't get in normal but that was over a year ago. I tried the Kaspersky online scan & it never found anything so I guess AVG is keeping my OS clean.

TimPawlak Posted February 14, 2006 CID Share Posted February 14, 2006 I used Panda for a little while, and it seemed to slow down startup time seriously.. and it slowed down the system a bunch. *AMD Athlon 2800+ 1 gb ram* I uninstalled it, and installed norton 2k6... that made it faster again and made it detect viruses better.

richcornucopia Posted February 14, 2006 CID Share Posted February 14, 2006 I can deal with a slower start up time because my system is fast and running most the time anyway with few restarts.
