Buddy give it a try. Do an online scan. If anything's wrong install MSE or Avast. After that you can think about purchasing Norton or Bitdefender or whatever suites you.

Arey baba, ki eto anti virus niye jhamela!! :D

Coolcomps just use any of these -->

ESS v4/McAfee Total Protection/KIS/Norton/AVG/Avast/Panda..

Just remember one thing --> There is no AV in the world which will detect ALL viruses/worms/rootkits yada..yada..yada..bla.bla.bla..

Just use any one from the above list...note that all of them are not free..so what..just use the trial...get another trial key..register again with some other email id to get trial key and keep working....or get something free like AVG...

Just relax..you take too much tension yaar!! :)

and one more point...since u can see in this forum that nobody has heard of net protector, so u can make out that its not very popular...so why risk ur os and applications??

just go with popular ones....forget Net protector...!!

Just my opinion!!

Can't support you on McAfee. Our office use this and its an absolute junk. I have installed Avast in my PC and never faced any problem for the last 3 years.

Thats what na boss...everybody's experience differs...I think I have friends who will recommend all of the ones I mentioned as well as some friends who will dislike ALL of them and suggest something else instead...

I myself have recommended AVG and KIS in the past but now recommend ESS.

As for my own computer --> No AV...not because I am too confident but because I cant find any for my OS....!! :shock::shock::shock:

Actually as I have to look after our IT dept also, this McAfee thing is driving me nuts for the past 3 years. Of course, users are reckless in using pen drives and all. But still its failure rate is highest among all the AVs I have used so far. But no offence meant, somebody may really find it good. A decade back they were sitting pretty at the very top.

BTW, what OS are you using, Linux, MacOS or Win98?

Which version of Linux are you using?

Who said anything about Linux....

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter SP1 X64....

I know MS FileFront works on it, but I am unable to obtain it..(I am not too keen on it either)...

I know AVG works in this OS...not too keen on this too..

I tried ESS 64 bit...installer said OS platform is not supported...

that left me heartbroken :D

Too bad, Eset does not make AV for Server OS

By the way, I do not use Linux..but I do use Solaris..

Oh u r the IT guy in ur office...that means u r GOD in that office :D :D ..!! at least from the Rights/Privileges point of view...!!

In our office also, McAfee is used...every day at around 730 it does some automated scan and all the systems start crawling!! Total pita yaar!! Even some of our clients use McAfee...I think in the Business community, McAfee has a large share..

About pen drives, u dont disable user's usb ports??

Sorry, already edited the post. The server OS didn't come to my mind. I had my share of trouble also running antivirus installer. Even the free version of Teamviewer refused to get installed in a Server OS.

Not really. This is a GoI institution looking after rural development. IT is secondary. Actually it is one of the three departments I am looking after. ;)

And from that you can guess about disabling usb ports - employees union and all. Everyone is trying to avoid confrontation. To make matter worse, this is Patna :hissyfit:

And avast is good right?

Its good.
But latest MS Security Essentials's isnt bad either.


Try this combination-

Avira/ Avast free+ Comodo Firewall (free) + Malwarebytes Antimalware



That setup is gonna keep most virus's away

:rofl: :D

I went to a HCL showroom and I asked for a antivirus. They promptly replied Netprotector.

I said its crap. They said its just about the best and perfect AV. and last year it won "Antivirus of the year"

I came out of the shop frowning at the guy and was laughing inside
