The Official Antivirus Thread

^^lol
Defense+ in Comodo dont even let any program inadvertantly modify your registry. Avira + Comodo rocks thats why. .

Avira with any registry guard utility is an excellent option..
but if u got infected, pl scan registry with anyother AV..

NOD32 ver 2.7 FTW!!
But if you ask me, you need common sense to prevent viruses from entering your PC. I mean, if you dont go looking for trouble, your PC wont fall into trouble
That, and I also use NoScript on FF for added protection

Download and run "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" (its free). One of the good A'virus programs. Be sure to update it before running.

There's no option - Antiviruses suck!!!

In Windows, just use a limited user account, use NoScript + AdBlock Plus in Firefox or block scripts in Opera and use a Firewall-say Comodo. Disable Autorun. It's sufficient.

Attachment not working. Upload it on imageshack and post the forum thumbnail code here.
Try booting in safe mode and then running your anti-virus and anti spyware scanner

I prefer Avira over any other AV..it's light, swift and very effective.

[JojoTheDragon]

You will need a paypal or credit card if you want to purchase online. Or you can buy the retail version. But may require online activation.

Avira's cleaning really sucks. it cant even deal properly with popular worms like Kiddo. And its annoying as hell..imagine playing Fallout 3 and every 30 mins avira window popping up reminding me to update databases!

you are right...i thought i am the only one experiencing umbrella popping up even if there is no rains haha...it is damn annoying as hell. Can you imagine every morning whenever i open my pc in the office..it stops me a while waiting for the umbrella to do its job. No trojans, No worms, No Virus, and most importantly no rains at all

 

[JojoTheDragon]

I use Kaspersky 8 but when I tries to update it, it gets stuck at 99. What can I do about it?

 

[tanmoy_Siliguri]

Every time I plug my 2gb pen drive into the usb socket and try to access it Kaspersky says warning- a virus has been detected.I remove it to chest, and next time the same problem when I plug it in again.Also if I plug my mobile memory card in it also tells me a virus has been detected! the same one.the virus description is

Win32:Kido.ih:autorun.inf
k:\RECYCLER\S-5-3-42-2819952290-8240758988-879315005-3665\jwgkvsq.vmx

KIS 2009 is the best. The poll results show just that.
