Things for Norton have changed and it's now one of the fastest, less resource hog security app today so if you don't like the other two you can go with N360.

Ok here is the catch - I had a BD AV with 3 yrs license and I formatted my SSD recently. Now to my horror, I cant find the AV disk anywhere and so no license either. Planning to buy a AV now and I was thinking about N360. Can anyone vouch for this??

I particularly dint like the look and feel of BD and the less detailed logs of caught issues.

KIS is a thing of past for me and dont want that dull looking AV again on my pc (used it for 3 years )

if you have created an account in bitdefender and already signed in with the licensed product ,you can retrieve your key easily

is free version available?

not yet

congrats. you could have retrieved the key. bitdefender is still one of the best antivirus out there. in my point of view, performance matters more than looks

with Avira there is no chance for autorun virus to survive

using KIS 2013.while using a infected pendrive(trojan programme) my win 8 laptop had almost all commands disabled temporaily but then later restored with full scan-why should this happen with such a good AV-any reasons

No idea about KIS.
Use defense+ of Comodo internet security :thumbup:

Maybe your PC got infected before AV could realize. It happens sometimes, don't worry about it.

using comodo internet security for years .never had any virus or spyware problem.still i scan my system with other standalone scanners like Dr.Web .

Been using Avast 2014 for a couple of weeks now, it's very stable and rather light on the system resources. The UI has been revamped completely (for the better fortunately) and everything else feels better to use.

And the settings are easier to customize now for me.

what are these little craps which land up in my pictures etc-like THUMBS.DB and DESKTOP.INI-really bloody irrrrtating-keep on coming back again

they are not crap, they are system files: *www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/249809-thumbs-db-desktop-ini.html
quoted from above link:

DT.ini is a configuration file and is in every folder on your drive.
Thumb.db is a index of the thumbnails that are displayed in image folders and or any folder that has an image in it.

If you turn off Show All Files and or turn off Show System files and or check Hide system files (don't remember what the option is called) you won't see them.

You can delete the Thumbs.db files and it won't be recreated unless you go back to that folder and View the files as Thumbnails. DT.ini will be recreated by the system no matter what you do.

You can't do anything about that. Just select Don't Show Hidden Files and Folders because AFAIK they are hidden files.

You can't do anything about that. Just select Don't Show Hidden Files and Folders because AFAIK they are hidden files.

You can disable thumbnails by Checking on "Always show icons, never thumbnails" in the folder options. then delete all the thumbs.db and desktop.ini files by searching them from My Computer's search box.

using avira from over 1 month
I can say it blocks all autoruns easily...(99%) dont even allow to view/edit any autorun.inf files...( I came to know while creating autohacking pen drive with nirsoft password recovery tools and voila avira blocked them too)
its really far better then avast! (atleast for me)
