Virus protection software What anti-virus software do you recommend for PC's? |
I like AVG. I am forced to have McAfee at the moment but then will be over very very shortly and then I will be back to AVG. |
Avast worked fine for us. AVG was okay also. We used AdAware and Spybot too (I think it is). |
I use Avast and also Spybot. |
I just dug out my old desktop that I haven't used in at least 3 years and it has outdated versions of AVG and SpyWare on it from when I used it last. Guess the good things haven't changed too much. :) I'm not familiar with Avast or Spybot - I'm going to read up on those before I decide. Thank you all!! |

avast! Free Antivirus - Download Software for Virus Protection The home of Spybot-S&D! |
My son is in third year college for computer programmer/analyst(so I kind of trust him):rolleyes: and he hooked me up with Avast and it has worked amazing.:) |
Another vote for Avast here:thumbup: I had Norton on my computers (preloaded) and ALWAYS got viruses anyway, and a ton of false positives too. Garbage! I've not had ONE virus since installing avast, it's been about 2 years now. And it's FREE:D |

me too - used it for almost 10 years now |
You all are GOOD!! :D I road up in the elevator with my company's IT genius this morning, so I asked him this same question. He named 3 programs - Avast, AVG and another I don't remember. Once I heard the same two you all had recommended I knew I was set. :thumbup: I asked about spyware and he recommended AdAware, SpyBot and a couple of others but you guys had nailed it again. Thank you!! |

Webroot is real good. So is Norton and McAfee. Webroot Internet Security essentails is what I use. My PC is as clean as my Yorkies Teeth! |

I had an IT guy at work - he referred us to Malwarebytes - I used to use A Squared.....it doesn't hurt to have several AVG Spybot Malwarebytes and for online scans and fixes - Trendmicro "Housecall" - that is a great program that my cable people recommended and I found it picked up stuff when my son messed up my puter - there's too many different ways now for those jerks to mess up our computers ! You need complete protection these days besides the normal virus protection - it sucks doesn't it ? |

Do you find that having all these installed/running slows down your computer much when you're online? It doesn't really matter, I'm a firm believer in having good protection these days. |
