Which Anti-Virus do you use?

Hello all :)

Just curious into what AV the users of TCF use.

I personally use NOD32. I have had experience with AVG and Norton but this out perfroms both of them.

I highly recommend NOD32, buy only if you are experienced with computers as the interface isn't very novice friendly.

Discuss.

Avast Home Free.

This is an interesting thread in this subject and which AV's seem to be on top of their game.
I was surprised that AVG failed the test.

haha, that Tojan test thingy. I can't even download it. As soon as it finishes download NOD32 destroys it.

Never rated it much to be honest.

It misses a lot of stuff and sometimes when it does catch something it refuses to remove/repair/delete it.

Agreed, I used AVG for years. I am about 6 months into Avast and wish I would have switched sooner.

I use Kaspersky.Ive used it for years.
Its good but has occasional false positives(I guess they all do).

Currently using AVG, although i think i'll give avast a go after reading this thread!

I did use Norton for a few years, but found it expensive, slow on start-up, and it would always seem to find a virus even when everything was fine, almost as if it was creating viruses to justify its existance

Hopefully that is a joke. If not, your days are numbered.

Yes, the good ones do seem to be silent don't they.
No telling how many keyloggers you have on your machine.

Cheers.

I hope you don't do anything secure on your computer e.g use debit/credit card.
