help i recently installed kaspersky internet security then after it expires i unstalled that and install avg then remove avg and install bitdefender

when i remove bitdefender and trying to install the KIS, i cant install it, saying that i already have avg which is i remove already, i think i didnt remove totally the avg..

 

[vaibhav_jain]

i use avast free antivirus and with it spybot search and destroy antispyware. From long period i have no problem i think This is the BEST COMBO security for a PC in free category.

 

[mittyr]

I have no active AV's at any time. But have a good combo for quick scan if any extra activity.

- Trojan Remover
- Malwarebytes Anti-malware
- McAfee Virusscan Enterprise
- Comodo Firewall (Only)

Trojan Remover & Malwarebytes combo will take care of most stuff.

Yeah..those two are awesome.

Hi, Is it possible that Avast may cause BSOD??.

To experiment, I am planning to install Kaspersky. Should I install ''Internet Security" OF Kaspersky or should I install its ''Antivirus"??. Which is Good among them?? People here told that they have only Kas-Sky Internet Security. Is it sufficient??. I heard that Kaspersky can be install only in a fresh formatted partition. And If you need to install it again you need to format the partition! Is it true??. PC Config is

Intel Pentium - D, 2.8 Ghz
RAM = 2.5 GB.

Will Kaspersky slow down PC or Not??

No idea. With windows, any s/w can cause BSOD.

To experiment, I am planning to install Kaspersky. Should I install ''Internet Security" OF Kaspersky or should I install its ''Antivirus"??.

Internet security would be my choice.

Which is Good among them??

Both of them are good. Antivirus has only Antivirus and Antispyware but Internet security has everything.

Enough

False

PC Config is

Intel Pentium - D, 2.8 Ghz

It should not.

Yes, it has an antivirus.
All "Internet Security Suite" of every A/V company includes Antivirus in them.
Don't worry buy KIS2009 and have a peaceful night and day.

 

[Indyan]

Using KIS 2010..looking good so far.

 

[Neers]

Kaspersky is good......

Here is a problem. I installed Windows 7 RC and installed Kasperksy Beta Version too. Now it just pops up warning message like changes in svchost and it becomes quite irritating. So how should i disable such pop-ups?

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ I think its Application Filtering has been enabled. Disable it.

Kaspersky 7 was light enough to run perfectly fine on my old PIII 733MHz 256MB SD RAM computer without affecting performance.(Though i must admit it had limited performance in the first place).

 

[way2jatin]

Kaspersky and NOD32 is the best as they are light on system

I dont think any AV can replace KIS
You could try Avira (lite and nice) or AVG(rugged but reliable)
I had a bad experience with avast! (far too many false positives for my liking ) so I would not recommend that.

Hmmm....after so many days???

I've already bought KIS. Was thinking about G-Data, but none replied here so scarped the idea.
