Which antivirus should i buy?

[Jaskaran]

Hi all
I am new to this forum. As Digit is my favourite magzine, so i chose this forum.
And please sorry if i am posting in wrong section.
My question is-
Which antivirus is best to buy? Norton 360 6.0 or Kaspersky pure 2.0?
Also, will i need to install some other special anti-malware program along with like malwarebytes' to get 100% protection from malwares?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to TDF

Firstly, do you really need a paid antivirus? Check out Avast & Microsoft Security essentials.

If you really need paid, then look at ESET Smat Security. Also, why do you need kasperksy pure? Simple KAV or KIS in more than enough.

Also have a look at this thread: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/software-q/138653-antivirus-guide-user-reviews.html

Quick Heal too in my opinion is good paid option. Also give this a read
www.thinkdigit.com/forum/software-q/138653-antivirus-guide-user-reviews-15.html
for most people free version of Avast,avira or AVG suffices

go for kaspersky internet security.

thanks for your replies everyone.

Ummmmm.....
Yeah, i want to use kaspersky pure cos i googled a lot about this topic and most sites say that it is best.
Also, Norton was also in side with it.
So i just wanted to confirm.
also, about eset, i used it as trial. Its good at cpu and ram usage, but i have had some things get past, including some very nasty rootkits, which were dected by Free Kaspersky Virus Removal tool!!! So i trust Kaspersky ,ore than that.l.

Also, dudes, take a look at THIS
And between i personally have not subscribed digit magzine. Its in my school's liberary. I read most editions but maybe i missed latest issue along with some other issues.

Thanks again for your infos.
Ill test eset and avast again along with kaspersky.

I use Symantec Norton 360 ,really good all Security suite.

 

[pcforumguy]

Don't pay for any Anti Virus.
Just use Avast + Comodo Firewall + Sandboxie. (+ Malwarebytes + Hitman Pro if ur really paranoid about the security)

Full-proof Security without paying any paisa.
That's the set-up I am using for last 2 yrs. and never got infected.

my option is KIS(Kaspersky Internet security)
dude, go for paid one unless you surf for miscellaneous things.

spending few bucks(300\-) in year , it doesn't matter and saves you a lot from many other things existing in this world.
i am using KIS(Kaspersky Internet security) from past 2 years and i am fine with that.

Hello,I have been using Norton Internet Security for the past 3 years(since 2009).It is very good,but take a look at this thread before going for it-

NIS2012 crashing with changes in firewall - Norton Community

It is very annoying.
Hope this helps,

Then what's this Bitdefender Total Security 2012 1 PC 1 Year: Flipkart.com: Bitdefender Anti-virus
You could easily get 4 of 'em for the same price.

 

[Sujeet]

^^Thats the Box Price.MRP in short.

 

[ithehappy]

Norton Internet Security.

 

[Rockstar11]

im using KIS(Kaspersky Internet security) with malwarebytes.
works great.

 

[swapyworld]

m using avast+comodo firewall+superantispyware
along with malwarebytes and trojen remover for scanning purpose only...!!!

 

[Sujeet]

^^Thats a lot of Stuff for Security.

 

[Jaskaran]

Wow!!!
Thanks for replies.
A big help.
Overall, i see most of you voted kaspersky.
So ill purchase kaspersky pure.
But before that ill first try avast as most of you people suggest that too.
And by the way swapyworld, theres no need for so much. They'll only Interfere in other's functions.
And Rockstar11, i am thinking sorta same. But instead of KIS, i think ill use PURE.
Thanks for all your replies.

Now, Kaspersky vs. Avast vs. Bitdefender

Try Avg free,ad-aware 10 free or avast I would suggest don't buy any antivirus instead use one from what i have mentioned KAV will surely slows down you system and ask a use alot I use ad-aware 10 it is very light on system.

configure avast else it'll keep asking you dumb questions each time scan detects something.
