Unfortunately things dont exactly work like that over here. You should have known that by now. This thread was created as many people were requesting an AV sticky.

Anyway, getting back to the topic :

VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware is now released
Today, I’m pleased to announce that after a very long development and beta testing effort, we have released VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware. This is the consumer version; the enterprise version will be shipping next week. Company propaganda here, earlier beta announcement (with more information) here. Some reviewers also took an early peek at the beta — including Robert Vamosi at CNET and John Hawes at Virus Bulletin.
Those who have been following this blog may have read some of my prior postings, which started out with a blog post early last year entitled Evolving the Antimwalware Technology Model. In that blog post, I discussed how antivirus products have had to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
Deep research intelligence a cornerstone to VIPRE's powerful threat protection VIPRE's ability to provide powerful threat detection and remediation is supported by deep research intelligence from Sunbelt's Malware Research Labs (SMRL). SMRL includes some of the industry's leading malware experts, as well as broad capabilities in automated malware research and analysis. In addition to its proprietary research, SMRL works extensively within the security community, through cooperative relationships with other security companies and groups; and participation in VirusTotal, the largest online malware submission site. SMRL also provides technology to the security industry, with its Sunbelt CWSandbox and ThreatTrack threat data in use by some of the world's largest telecommunication, government, education, search engine, and security organizations.

hi guys
My NOD32 Antivirus License is about to expire (yes..legal copy :) )
Can you'll recommend a free alternative?
I'm stuck between AVG & Avira......
PS. The Kaspersky "free copy from barclays" prob has already been detected :(
So no KIS for me too

Avira is better. As for KIS (Barclays edition!), I'm still using it, no probs whatsoever... yet (touchwood) :D
 
^^
Thanks Kl@w-24
I meant that KIS website has detected the flaw on their website and doesnt allow random numbers to be used any more, not that my KIS has been discontinued :))
 
Heres a list of Online Scanners which can be used when the PC is infected and your Antivirus Software is unable to detect it:

BitDefender Online Scanner


Kaspersky Online Spyware And Virus Scanner

ESET Online Antivirus Scan


Trend Micro's online virus scanner
 
^^Thats right. I'm using kaspersky 2009 now and the interface is really easy to conduct with and it detects the virus before the virus even knows it. And it provides all rounder protection and the update virus definations are of small in size and so it is very helpful to people who have low internet speed to update(like me).But i would strongly recommend people to use AVAST ANTIVIRUS if the user has ram lower than 1gb as it will slow down the speed of the system becoz it performs a scans at startup,installation packages,and of various types and very often.

I have switched back to KIS from AntiVir. AntiVir has a better detection rate but it has a lot of token detections and I hate its annoying notifications and auto-update which cant be disabled.
