Antivirus
What's the best in your opinion- and do you think it's rather ironic to download anti virus illegally from a torrent site, as you can obviously get a virus from it?
#2
I use norton(is terrible) and I use AVG(works great)

You can download free version from their site. Doesn't expire and does all the things you need an antivirus to do for free. I only have norton because it's what my parents bought. I "have" to use it.

avast is the best hands down. auto updates regularly. have not gotten a single virus in the three years i've been using it

When I used avast, I regularly got viruses and it was always sitting on its hands trying to get rid of it.
I now use NOD32, it works amazingly.

AVG.
And techincaly norton is a virus haha.

Like its a virus itself.
#6
I have mcafee (sucks) but I use AVG
#7
I now has AVG!
Thanks for the opinions!

Linux can't get viruses.
#9
Ubuntu does not have viruses.

that i know of.

For my Pc i have Eset and it is ironic lol.

I use Norton, which sucks. I also have Webroot's Spy Sweeper.
That is funny though. I wouldn't ever get one from torrent.
#11
Not all torrents are bad. lol. it's mainly the porno ones..

damn.
#12
I r not download porn.
I download lots of programs though...
Lots of youtube downloaders and file converters....
#13
Ive always used AVG and webroot
Havent gotten a virus yet, probably because I dont go around downloading porn
#14
Right now I'm running AVG, Maleware bytes, and Avast! I'd suggest them highly
#15
Microsoft security essentials was the best for me because it detects backdoors and hacktools and can remove worms easy :D
#16
I've always used Avast, and have had no problems with it. Before I found it, I used Norton, and had to reformat twice. :mad:
#17
I have mcafee professional version.
it's awesome.
#18
I use Norton and AVG, then I use Spy-Sweeper and Virus Buster. Norton sucks, AVG is inconvenient, Spy-Sweeper is slow, and Virus Buster is out dated. But I still don't get viruses. Must be all that fail merging into a win.
#19
ESET NOD32 ftw.
easy to download, and easy to hack.
Pretty much theres a site that updates daily with new usernames and passwords.
So just copy and paste about once a month and you're set.
#20
Avast always worked best for me, it has amazing scanning.
Norton has to be the worst.
#21
I use NOD32 gets the job done ;D
