Best Anti Virus Software

sparklyscotty · Jan 10, 2006

Hi guys,
I need to renew the AV and firewall software on couple of my PCs. I have had to uninstall Norton on one because I couldn't download my emails from my domain.
What software would everyone recommend? (I am a heavy user of the web and my PC tends to stay online most of it's life.)

I use Zonelabs Internet Security Suite and it covers me well

I would recommend it to anyone - it's sort of set-and-forget

I use Zonealarm and AVG anti virus.

Zonelabs Internet Security Suite as well. it does firewall, virus, spy/adware and spam (although I turn the spam filter off).

I use AVG and a cable router for firewall.

I use Zone Labs and Panda Titanium. :wink:

On a PC at work, I use no AV at all, no anti spyware either.

If it catches a virus, or spyware a reboot sorts it out thanks to a product called Deep Freeze.

Even if a critical file is deleted, a reboot fixes it.

However, if you write doc and save to C: you better save it somewhere else to coz it's gone after a reboot.

The software side of it is virtually unbreakable!

I am a big fan of Zone Labs Internet Security Suite.

Deep freeze is excellent, but I'd still use AV, what if you got a virus that delete files in your thawed space?
I use symantec corporate AV - came free from the place I used to work, never once had a problem with it.

I have exactly the same problem with Norton, but only after doing a Live Update, and then having to restart the PC.

However, I have now sussed it and simply restore my PC to an earlier time, and then my emails work OK.

Zone Alarm Security Suite also (absolutely hate Norton)

If you want free ones Grisoft's AVG
http://www.grisoft.com/doc/289/lng/us/tpl/tpl01

and FreeAV
http://www.freeav.com/

are both excellent with AVG possibly winning on the less hassle to use front.
