Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

I used to use Quickheal few years back..The best thing about it was that it looked cute & friendly...thats it.

I used the Avira Premium Version, wonderful AV, but for some reason, its detection rate was not that good ( maybe its better now )..

I just use the MSE now..seems ok so far..what do u think guys ? is MSE good enough to be at the best AV ??

Its far from being a good AV.. leave alone being the best.

BD and N360 are good now.

Today, I used avira for the first time, and I must say its pretty good and much much better than avast in terms of protection.

bitdefender free is also very good.it is partially cloud based but even on bsnl 2mbps limited plan(1.5gb/month) it does not consume much bandwidth.system impact is almost nil & its main drawback aka nagging ads are not applicable for indian users(it seems annoying ads are only for US & European users ).

No way if the system is virus infected.

Try new ad aware 10.5 much lighter now and has very good detection with cleanup.

Thanks for the suggestion, will try it. I used it way back around 2006 when version 5 was there.

There aren't many solutions right now, either you can encrypt using Truecrypt, or can use this (don't know if it's available here or not): *www.tech-titan.com/en/consumer/t-drive/t-drive-pro-detail#.UfuFXW13WX8

Thanks!
I will try Truecrypt.
Truecrypt free or paid ?
And how to use it for USB drive ?

 

[Wannabe_a_techie]

I use a combo of free and paid.

Microsoft Security Essentials.

Advanced System Care with Iobit malware fighter. Both paid.

Smooth sailing for past two years.

I'm using Kaspersky antivirus with Comodo firewall on a Toshiba i3 laptop. There are no issues. But Bitdefender had slowed the boot time.

Go into safe mode adn scan your system using Malwarebytes anti malware. then after it has cleaned all malwares boot normally and run Norton Power Eraser.

download avira boot disk and scan for viruses

 

[andy_65_in]

will downloading avira boot disk and using the same concurrently create problems with karpersky-the sysytem incidentally is working fine now
