Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

I am currently dealing with a TrojanNSchanger which has infected my PC and I have used AVG Internet Security, Kaspersky internet security, Anti-malwarebytes, MS antivirus and malware removal, Spyboot4, Norton power erazer, housecall, adwcleaner, junkware removal tool but all have failed to remove this Trojan.

Now i think i will have to format my PC to get it removed. I have shared the details here:

did you try using a bootable AV version like the bootable version of avira ?
Download Avira Rescue System | Official Website

 

[geek_rocker]

If that doesn't work, try Malwarebytes Anti-malware and Emsisoft Emergency Kit. You can also download Kaspersky's Rescue CD. Kaspersky is pretty good at disinfection without collateral damage in these scenarios I heard.

Also, take a look at this: Shadowbot Removal Instructions | Kaspersky Lab

Kaspersky keys are version specific?? if i get a KIS 2014 key, will it work on KIS 2015??

^ Most probably not.

Keys are version specific so a 2014 key won't work with 2015 and vice-versa

Re: Antivirus Guide & User Reviews.

so if i buy a 3 year key, i will have to stay on that specific version for 3 years??

also, how is comodo firewall?? any issues if i pair it up with KAV??

i compared KAV and KIS, and saw that there are not any significant differences between those two. so thought of going with KAV and comodo firewall..

[MENTION=34930]Zangetsu[/MENTION],who told you that?kaspersky keys are time bound not version bound.as long as your key is valid you can upgrade or directly use it with latest version.

[MENTION=148045]anirbandd[/MENTION],using comodo firewall with KAV in my opinion is overkill & not suitable for an average user.in fact why not try TS360 or avira AV,both of which are free & have almost similar performance as kaspersky.

 

[anirbandd]

TS360??

Full form please.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

TS360??

Full form please.

360 Total Security

 

[anirbandd]

Okay installed TS360 along with Comodo Firewall.

Lets monitor the performance over the next few days.

how is false positive detection for TS360?

how do i install 2015 KIS ,have KIS 2014 installed.will use a cd based replacement-will i have to completely uninstall the older version

 

[ariftwister]

I once installed Comodo Firewall and AVG. It was the best combo!!

just start installation. it will automatically install over the older version.

i searched on KAspersky site. they allow upgrades to latest s/w versions on the same key.

TS360 or Avira ? which wud u prefer ?

 

[anirbandd]

i just started with TS360. i'll share my views after a couple of months.

Haven't used Avira. have used Avast. its okay, but throws a lot of false positives. it showed me false positives with the last update of Insurgency on steam. 4GB of my data was lost due to the failed update.

 

[whitestar_999]

no experience with 360 total security but using avira & it is working fine except for one minor issue for me.it seems that some avira updates require restart of pc but you will not get any prompt to restart,you will only notice it when updates start failing & log show "engine validation" error.only way i know for this issue is restarting/shut down pc every day instead of keeping it on/hibernation/not restarting for days(i sometimes don't restart my laptop for days but use hibernate to power off).

Install avira engine in 360 total security. Performance will be very good I do not face any slow down with it doesn't increase boot time.

I didn't face any false positive during my usage.

If you have a modern system you can use AVG. if system is older then use Total security 360(with avira engine).
