Which Antivirus are u prefer for PC?

[error398]

hey guys,. i've problem here.. im using AVG antivirus to protect my pc.. but now it doesnt recognize the latest virus.. even they update daily..

which Antivirus are u prefer to use for protected?
just give it name.. not a link.. 

[Jithin]

nod32 is a good one (compromise between performance and usage of system resource). But its not free..
Norton and McAfee eat  lots  of system resource.
AVG and Avast are the free ones,but as you said not that effective..

@Rakai
maybe some virus will detect with some antivirus.. it happens to me last month..
Norton Antivirus cannot detect Autolt.vbs
Avg can detect it..
now i have that same virus.. AVG cannot detect Autolt.vbs.. its so strange. maybe the virus is update LOL
i wanna try to use BitDefender or Nod32

[Jithin]

I use Avast + Counterspy (lol,I made a datehack )..

I've tried a lot in my experience. I have the following conclusions for myself:

1. Never use Norton AntiVirus, because it will slow down your system terribly
2. Nod32 is very weak, if not incapable, in catching spyware/adware, but it advertises it
3. F-Prot is very friendly antivirus program and one of my favourites, but it catches viruses only - no spyware/adware
4. Avast is average quality
5. AVG is more than very good, but I don't like the interface
6. Kaspersky, like NAV, is taking a lot of resources
7. Trend Micro is average too

1. Never use Norton AntiVirus, because it will slow down your system terribly

- Norton is very suck.. it takes a lot of memory

2. Nod32 is very weak, if not incapable, in catching spyware/adware, but it advertises it

- never use this Antivirus

3. F-Prot is very friendly antivirus program and one of my favourites, but it catches viruses only - no spyware/adware

- i didnt notice this is Antivirus.. its freeware version or shareware version??

4. Avast is average quality

- avast more bout skin and interface.. not good enought for Antivirus

5. AVG is more than very good, but I don't like the interface

- im satisfied too.. its faster but the virus definition was expired quickly

6. Kaspersky, like NAV, is taking a lot of resources

- not working with that..

7. Trend Micro is average too

- i never used it

so what antiviruses do you use phil?

[Exploited]

Currently I am trying McAffee... It's hard to find working antivirus for Vista

P.S. F-Prot is maybe the first antivirus program for PC

[pizzadox619]

I don't use AV bcoz i lazy to update it. hehe... (very" slow like dial-up)
So far my computer is safe... no more virus. Only bluescreen (i don't know about it)

only PCMAV & Killer Machine for local indonesian virus (ex: brontok)

Usually you "think you don't have virus"

[Jithin]

lol.. Right said Phil.. I didn't use any antivirus for a while thinking I'm safe. Realised the fact soon while my firefox closed unexpectedly with a stupid message to use Internet explorer

And BTW,does anyone use McAfee site advisor? Its too good..

The most annoying thing is the adware... aaahhh I hate to see ads and popups on every link I click

for AntiSpyware, i am using AdAware professional SE.. its a free.. easy tracking bad cookies
otherwise can use Spybot..

@pizzadox
if u didnt install antivirus.. the virus maybe didnt make a trouble for a while bcoz u dont have a firewall to block them but after a couple of weeks, the virus will spread and stay into ur system folder.. just wait and see.. ur computer will come unstable..
