Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

[.jRay.]

i used avast for two ~ three days (didn't notice hours.. )
it suck$..
i updated it just after install..
ran a full scan.
and then three days after that, i uninstalled it and installed KIS (bought it that time @500 , still don't think its authentic.. ) and it found two trojans..
didn't even install it again

and i turned the internet off (plugged off the wire. ) and no external thingy was ever inserted while using avast or during the uninstall/install process

How is trend micro, i didnt like the ui at all, and i felt it was slow,

^^ didn't try it yet..
trying avira now..
scan speed is good enough..

will try with viruses from my friend's computer..
will scan that pendrive..
really he has awesome viruses to test with..

one just makes ".lnk" copies of any folder it has affected..
and just close the process from taskbar, thing done, delete the .lnk files..

 

[.jRay.]

^ okay, will try avira.

 

[whitestar_999]

avira is good.avast is also good provided it has constant internet access because in latest v8 avast uses many technologies which are dependent on net access for best protection.because of this avast updates a lot(sometimes 20-30 times in a day) so it may be an issue if you use limited net connection.trend micro is heavy & i wouldn't recommend it when there are lighter & free options available.

i dont know whether its a real threat or not, but atleast avira pointed it out..

for avira :


that malwarebytes keeps shouting..
should i throw it out ???

 

[Harsh Pranami]

I have been using Avira with daily updates switched on. So far no issues. How you guys rate it?

5 out of 5. I'm getting avg internet security free for 1 year. Still I'm so satisfied with avira that I can't let go of it.

false positive .. lol android SDK contains trojans a good Av should show less false detections at normal heuristic level .. Avira and Windows defender deleted many of my importtant files before due to this stupid heuristic scanning type .. so I don't use any AV now but if i sometime get suspicious about a file I do use Kspersky free AV .. no auto scanner or stuff likes that and it's enough for my needs.

err last object doesn't mean the last detection location. rather it is the file scanned last.

 

[mastercool8695]

Re: Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

^^ it actually means the last file detected/suspected to contain any harmful threats..

what about malware bytes..??
should i keep it ??

i try almost any other freeware (from their websites..) i find..
@topgear.. i think you know that.
so i think i should keep an antivirus handy..
moreover , papa does some of his work on this PC .. so i've to be protective against Keyloggers..

anyways,
avira is installed and its firewall is active still the windows Flag shows "turn on windows firewall" any idea what to do ??

 

[thetechfreak]

^^

No need of 2 firewalls. The firewall by Avira is properly sufficient.

avira firewall is working..
still Win 7 action centre suggests to start windows firewall.
its just windows problem i think..

I have installed ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus 6 & MalwareBytes Anti-Malware both on my PC. Will these two conflict each other or everything is Ok?

 

[topgear]

I think not but it would be better if you keep the auto scan feature of MBAM disabled.

 

[TechnoNinja]

i see some mentioning nod32. i f-ing hate that antivirus. you can get better ones that are free than use nod32. Right now i am using bitdefender and i install it on all of my computers. Go here at www.hopreviews.com/reviews/bitdefender-total-security-2013/ and you will see other people agreeing with me. But for a free one, i recommend using MSE. it is perfect and doesn't take up much resource for those slow computers.

 

[rijinpk1]

^^ why you hate nod32?? MSE is not better than nod32 or Eset smart security.They are very good at blocking malware and removing itand better than free ones. It is my personal opinion and experience though.

even BitDefender has free version available

ESET products work like charm in my windows 7. No slowing down of performance.

 

[BombayBoy]

Why don't people recommend ESET NOD32 & other products? I've been using it for quite a long time now & it never failed. The system doesn't lag either.

^me too using from 5 yrs without any hassles.
