Which Antivirus is Best?

[squareleg]

Guys,

What all Antivirus Package u use? And which is most effective against Trojans. Most catch Trojans but cannot heal or delete it.
After sometime the Trojan horse raise their heads again once they are in. Just like the terrorists in the country.
No policing Or AV are really that effective and its more of a damage control exercise even after updates..

[kmrjt]

My friend, firstly, let me tell you that whatever the free antivirus softwares we download and install are meant only for the detection of vruses, not removing them.

To be able to remove the virus and clean your computer effectively, you need to buy the antivirus software - either online or from a computer shop.

I would say, the best antivirus software that blocks not only Trojan Horses, but most of the other deadly viruses that totally shuts down the system, is Quick Heal Plus 2008. With the DNA Scan technology, this software has the capacity to block any kind of present day virus from entering into your system. What's more, when you are running a scan, it does not slow down your system so that you can proceed with the work that you were doing! The price of the package with a license number and a CD is Rs. 1550. Check it out. It really works.
I had tried Norton earlier, but did not like it. It slows down the system to a great extent during the sacn.

[ankitgokani]

well i think avast is best cos u can download it free and can use it over 14 months with update and valid key for free and its good for catching trojans

[manan_mehra]

the antivirus that i would recpmend is
kaspersky...
its good

[ZENITHJAIN]

the best of all for removing trojans is

ESCAN ISS
INTERNET SERVICE SUITE

THE BEST MY PC HAS FREE FROM TROJANS 24*7 LIVE SUPPORT UPDATES

IF U WANT FREE USE THEN TRY SUPER ANTI SPY WARE ITS GOOD 4 FREE
** KEEP UPDATING REGULARLY

[trillionairegate]

I think u can go kaspersky that is a really good one mainly the kasperrsky internet security

[ramniwas]

i think avast pro is the best
you can download it from the avast website and
key from youtube trust me frm youtube

[ssj4]

the AVG is the best anti virus. I can be procted your computer form every virus.

[kartik]

anyone tried nod32 ?

What all the above antivirus programs couldnt remove.. Nod32 did.

Its not free though, but my pc was zombied and nod32 unzombied it :)

[Numb]

I'd Refer Avast! Antivirus Home Edition/Pro(you can get key of Pro by just some googling) and also AVG 8.0......they are really good!

[dopchand]

AVG antivirus has been able to remove viruses that most other were not able to.

[manipr]

MC Afee for Vista and Norton (corporate edition) for XP is my choice. Never had any probs with them installed and updated.

[yshah84]

I think Symantac Antivirus is really gud...i m using this at my work place...

[rahul_parab2006]

I am using AVG 8.0 and its perfectly all right............ it hasn't given me any problems as such till date........ It perfectly scans my system and blocks viruses ............ but it just needs to be updated otehrwise it will not work good for u ..........

But I had used norton, symentac, McAfee, etc in d past....... but it created lots of problems and system gets very slow......so they doesn't allow us to work when scan is going on......... it is not in d case of AVG....... its perfectly alright frnds.........

:tea:

[kishor.dce]

Kaspersky is the best, virus updates are real fast and don't disturb while working.

[anant1a]

AVG is Cool

and if more problems then one can also use Stinger

[joyoj777]

kaspersky for sure..... i've used nod32 and panda but did not like them....

[dalvichitra]

kaspersky is quite gud ........................................

[ashishbijjiboy]

well accordin to me quick heal is best cos m usin it n findin no pros so far

[tejas_sweet2]

According 2 me I'll go for AVG....its gud................!!

[kz_dx]

norton 2008 is best for big viruses. i have used lots of antivirus some antivirus always cry like node 32 or avast or kaspersky but when the real big virus come they keeq silent. norton doesen't detect small virus but when big come atleast it save system. i have 3 year crack norton 8 if anyone want then reply

[forevermax]

Well, i guess bitdefender and kaspersky are the best AV's available in the market today... They've always worked hard 4 me!!!

[biskfarmer]

the antivirus that i would recpmend is
kaspersky...
its good

kaspersky has been giving me vague errors of late. Though the initial experience was good but of late i have got irritated with it

[username123]

There was a research done last year i guess and it rated Kaspersky, Bitdefender and NOD as overall winners, in that order. Your call. I use kaspersky. Its very good, provided you use custoomized settings. :)

[drkau21]

I thinks rating wise
Quick Heal
Norton
are the best.

[jwalanta]

my dear friend.... best antivirus are Norton and Mcafee... but if you want to go for free antivirus AVG is one of the good option... or there is one more Clamwin, this is very effective and doesnt slow down your system while virus scanning... but only on defect is that it doesnot have feature of firewall.... Solution is download ZoneAlarm or PC Tools firewall and ur done...

[mad9986]

the best antivirus according to me is..... qquickheal:bigsmile::bigsmile:

[yshah84]

i dont know...if someone can let me know which is better...

[karan2813]

AVG software is good.. rest all are also good..

[vinaysibm]

Try out NOD32, it really uses a lot less RAM and speeds up boot up. I had Symantec corporate earlier but it had some problems with vista. You can download NOD32 along with the patch on any of the major torrents

[jatinshah]

hey, use norton anti virus. I have been using Norton since 2002 and currently i am using norton 360. Its best one and detects all kinds of threats. I am not very much happy with the performance of other anti viruses available in the market

[macwan_hemilton]

i think nod32 is the best... coz it takes much less memory to run on system

[kumarnaresh2003]

i believe Quick Heal is the best antivirus...............as per my knowledge..........

[sindhut86@gmail.com]

kasperkey antivirus is the best...it is more good nd protects ur pc from frequent virus attacks...the thing is you need to update it frequently as we know dat when a day shows its back and sets down the very next morning we find to see some new virus taking birth...but kasperkey is fast ndgood too.

[deepakraam]

I feel Norton is better than most of the AV s/w available in the market.Also try for Mcafee.


-Deepak.

[chandoo.upadhyay]

for internet norton is the best but it make system slow u can go kasperrsky internet security for long term use

[dagarohan]

Avg Antivirus is a good antivirus software. u can download free edition from the website of avg.

[gumshu]

NO antivirus is best !!! every one have its own conceqences....

[c.pradeep]

NOD32 is doing all the work and keeping my PC safe.

[alu25]

I GUESS AVG IS D BEST OPTION...............ITS AVAILBALE 4 FREE ON D NET...................REQUIRES SMAL SPACE........................DOES NT AFFECT UR PC'S PERFORMANCE ND MOREOVER IT IS D ONLY ANTIVIRUS WHICH ALSO ALLOWS U 2 INSTAL SM OTHER ANTIVIRUS( ONE INSTALLS 2 ANTIVIRUSES ONLY IF D NID ARISES)

[spcyberboy]

I use Nod 32. Its working fine with Vista
can you tell me any other easily available anitvirus compatible with Vista?
as u know its there are many good antiviruses not compatible oiwth vista

[abhi_thukral01]

man, i just switched over to bitdefender...itz a gud one...earlier i was wth avg, it doesnt detect all the all viruses and u knw trojan is the father of all..so go fr bitdefender...even kaspersky is gud...:SugarwareZ-299:

[jaine]

McAfee works best for me .... rather light I would say !!

[pun500]

kaspersky without adoubt nod 32 is also v good but chokes a bit more on sys resources

[neoprabhakar]

In this thread i would like to add,

Best Antivirus is Bitdefender Total Security

but performance also do matter

so to advice up

AVAST is good defender for home

for corporate avast + doctor spyware

and if u have good pc

i mean the performance doesn't slows down even after installing antiviruses

BITDEFENDER is the best!

used in MNC's and genuine PC users

[gangulyrajesh]

I have tried most of the antivirus and found all have there shortcoming. However I still like to reccomend AVG as detects effectively most of the virus .:SugarwareZ-254:

[jyotikajhangiani]

norton anti virus is the best anti virus to use today.

[shubh11]

dear frnd,

Quick Heal 2008 is the best

[Punu]

I think AVG 8 is good option with regular updates in it...

it works good.....

u can try it...itz free software

[planets4me]

nod 32................................................ .................

[ketz257]

AVAST antivirus is the best i use it from past 3 years

[prasadrao]

mcafee is best....mailny viruscan v8.5...
i would recommend it ahead of norton

[kcm_1985]

ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE IS VERY ESSENTIAL FOR ANY COMPUTER/LAPTOP. SO I THINK WE SHOULD GO FOR LICENSE VERSION BECAUSE FREE VERSIONS ARE NOT AS EFFECTIVE AS LICENSE VERSION.AND TODAY EVERYDAY NEW VIRUSES HAVE BEEN CREATING SO WHAT TO DO AGAINST VIRUS,WORM,TROJAN,SPY WARE,MAL WARE,AD WARE,ROOT KIT ETC. YOU CAN REFER MY ATTACHED PPT ON "VIRUS" IN BASICS OF COMPUTERS(P.C.) FORUM.

[sambit4u]

I will recomend Kaspersky or Nod32. both are very competent n use very less resource...

[gaurav1012]

According to me best antivirus is e scan and Quick heal

[Gayatri Mehta]

NOD 32 IS CONSIDERED 2 B D BEST NOW A DAYZ!:SugarwareZ-064:

[ankit.imt]

norton!!!!!!!!!! I m using it for the past 1 yr and havent face any major problem till now

[madhukarusa]

good discussion keep it up. I shall like to know whether these free anti viruses are really effective

[patola]

I use Avira Antivirus.. It has many advantages like
1. FREE
2. Daily Small file updates
3. Scans all the viruses and trojans immediately...
4. Good for PCs with old configuration as it is very light on RAM consumption

[Sanjay.G]

If u are looking for some free antivirus then AVG 8.0 is very good.. u just need to gegularly update it online

[amit.astra]

i think its kaspersky......................................... ............................

[sagmgt]

As far as I know I feel that no single anti virus is a full fledged solution to virus. But I would recommend Avast and Kaspersky they are really good one. Even E scan is better one but it deletes even a system file if virus found.

For this, one solution would be to use different anti viruses; as different anti virus has different database. So, if one does not cleans up your system the other one may help.
Note: This does not mean to use 2 or more antiviruses at a time. Do not use more than 1 Anti virus at a single point of time.

Load a updated anti virus, scan ur whole computer, take a experience for a while does it work/ helps healing. Uninstall it.
Install a different updated anti virus and go through the same process.

This process should surely help healing virus as by this process we use strengths of various anti viruses available 'Coz each has its own unique feature.

Try it.:SugarwareZ-191:

[vijaykumar12]

mcafee anti virus is the best.. perfect for all sorts of problems

[Roopal30]

the AVG is best anti virus....................
it can protect from any virus and it is much secure also...........

[vbhemanth]

I think AVG/Kaspersky/Avast are the good ones if we have latest updates of these. Norton is not dat good.

[rupesh nair]

i think AVG is the best one. It helps to remove th trojan virus but i think the best one is mc cafee it helps remove all type of viruses

[r_abbas]

i think AVG is the best one.
i have tried Norton n many others but did not like them.

[ganeshbinwal]

nod is best...light on system, works well and not too costly either

[subinj]

i wud recommend AVG.iTz da best...m usin it 4 free n get al d latest updates 4m it dt too wdout ne crack reqd ...kewl isnt it ??

[anand_aq]

according to me kaspersky and nod32 are the best..

[janunagdev]

hi, kaspersky is the best ever anti virus. it is tobe updated regurlarly. so it protects our pc or lappy from latest trojans viruses etc. just downlaod it n crack it

[aisik]

frnds its surely kaspersky 2009 version....it incomparable:SugarwareZ-299:....

[aisik]

there is no free lunch in this world......

[canilk]

I have used mcafee and have been using it since 3 years. I belive is is very good anitvirus protection system with easy automatic updates

[oblix_7]

avast antivirus is the best bcoz u can download it for free from the internet

[shriharir]

bit defender is the better one as its good for trojans i think its very effective

[ankr2005]

Well i have used many antiviruses like panda, norton, kaspersky, Mcafee,trend micro,avg but i feel avast is best as its home edition is free and u can get the key by the free registration for 14 months and it works efficiently too. If u want full protection then always update it and believe me it is best prevent u frm viruses without eating ur pc speed

[suchanda dutta]

Well... I believe AVG Antivirus or Avast to be most effective! I personally hate any anti-virus that slows down the PC. These work fine for me!! Hope it helps...

[aumk777]

I like NOD32. It takes a little of your machine's resource so your machine is faster compares to ones using mcafee or norton. That is good eh!?

[dheerajmah]

i find norton internet security 2009 is good.....

[rahul_yvx]

according to rating bit defender is on top ....but i used kaspersky 9.0 ...its really good and user friendly............and also able to detect and delete dangerous virus........

[unni_keshavan]

i think avira is the best anti virus

Thanks and regards

Unni Keshavan

[urxnlc_ashish]

hey frnds.
mine computer was also attacked by trojan virus but i have a 30 days trial kaspersky antivirus
woh sab ka baap hey
he can beat any virus.....

[haritha_viss]

you can try avast home/business security...........it is free and provides all the features of a regular antivirus software and it is valid upto 14 mths.....

[mukesh2311]

i feel avast is really good one.before using avast i was using Norton which was not so useful in my case ,but the current avast updates itself after every 2-3 days.
P.S. -this is my opinion

mcaffe is the best anti virus software in my opinion .i have been using it for the last few years and it quite efficient

[vbhatiad]

obviouslt symantec .. havent faced any prolems with it since so many years

[wellmfm]

Hi,

I'm sure others in the forum must have posted on this. What works best on my PC is grisoft's AVG Antivirus. it much better that Norton Antivirus. had a tough time removing Norton from my system.

[sinhasum]

Mcafee internet security 2008 is the best

[sinhasum]

Norton is also a good anti virus! but mcafee is best

[sinhasum]

I'm sure others in the forum must have posted on this. What works best on my PC is grisoft's AVG Antivirus. it much better that Norton Antivirus. had a tough time removing Norton from my system.

[manthan_479]

problem with Norton is..its slows down the pc...n hav problem while uninstaling it..as of nw AVG n Kasper Key are very gud..

[mayank123]

i thnk avast home edition is best against trojans

[pahuja.chirag]

i have tried many antiviruses and amongst all i have found kaspersky is the best

[manthan_479]

Kasperkey is the best no doubt but it slows down ur computer a lot...n need to be upgraded frequently..

[ravi.network@gmail.com]

AVG is good, you can try it for free. You even have firewall and other addons.

[itsmytimenow]

i wudn't recommend any single anti-virus...i use AVG & Avira in combo...works much better...but yeah, the system is slowed down quite a bit....

[username123]

what? kaspersky slows the system? it is one of the lightest along with NOD

[akshay.madhav]

I think AVG free is the best.. i've been using it for 2 years now and its really working fine

[niyati mehta]

mozzilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaa

[reuben4in]

well i think its AVG...cz it detects nd remove viruses effectively thus protecting ur system....

[niyati mehta]

avg,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,
.................

[pahuja.chirag]

well, i am having kaspersky, and i dont face any problem with the system speed, and update is also automatic........

.................

No.. I think Mc afee.. now it is very cheap... no need to download free...

[swp.vyas]

i dont have much idea about anti-viruses but still with all the surfing and blogging i found that most of the people recommend AVG 8.0 in category of FREE VERSIONS. I am using it since long and is working preety fine. i was nt interested in buying antivirus so cant comment about NOT FOR FREE ONES. Thanx

[amitjangid]

dont use nod it sucks and dont detects max viruses so go for PANDA u will thank me i promise

[jagatish]

Eset's Nod32 is the best paid antivirus
kaspersky is another good antivirus(paid)
if u r planning to use free antivirus go for avg
avast is also a free version but not upto the mark

[manthan_479]

free version hav to be update regularlt..n paid version hav problems with renewal of licences..so problem continues.............

[chrispy_chap]

anyone tried nod32 ?

What all the above antivirus programs couldnt remove.. Nod32 did.

Its not free though, but my pc was zombied and nod32 unzombied it :)


I totally agree with you NOD32 works wonders on your machine and occupies very little space without slowing down the machine atall.
cheers!!!

[sachinjain1986]

I think AVG anti virus is the best one......its free and by keeping it updated u can be protected against most of the virus..also it gets updated itself with the latest virus within 2 days....so u have the latest database available with which u r almost 99.99% safe

[amitaccha]

Hi Guys

I think McAfee is the best antivirus software.

[dhamodi]

Kaspersky with antivirus software and personal firewall is giving better protection compared to other AV softwares.

[afreenrazak]

according to me the norton antivirus is the best...i can say this coz i have been using it for the last three yrs and have never faced a problem..u can get it for about 1200 bucks..

[angels79]

I have used both Norton and Mcafee Antivirus.I must say that Mcafee is the best. Although Mcafee consumes more memory, it is capaleof blockin most of the viruses. I personally use the older version of MCafee ie. 8.1I. It is very reliable
