Two Cents worth,
Have over 30 yrs. in OS programming (DOS, ASM etc.). Have troubleshooted many virus infected systems. Experience shows that the best 3-4 anti-vir systems are: Norton/Symantec (a little tough to use for average user.) McAfee (more user friendly but sometimes a little slow with their dictionary updates) AVG (very good-but need to manually update-like "Hertz" - 3rd place and trying harder.) Kapersky AV ( seems to be a little less reliable but still very good) All these are very good anti-vir programs. Mostly the biggest problem comes with the user getting used to how they work & the program quirks re: updating the virus definitions; synchronization with firewalls; setting the filter/blocking options etc. Have encountered each (all) of these programs missing (not detecting) a virus on an infected system and another one finding it. Have also encountered each of these programs not being able to remove a particular virus and another program deleting it easily. My advice: 1) get to know the program U R using very well & configure it properly. 2) Install & RUN more than one program on your system - one as a primary (autostart with computer startup) and another as a backup. 3) Do definitions updates VERY frequently. (every 3 days a new virus appears on NET) 4) Get rid of IE browser; just way too many vulnerabilities and it'll probably NEVER be fixed. 5) Put in & USE a firewall. (67% of a netsurfers do it naked WO any firewall at all-LOL) Hope this helps. PS- "If you want a totally safe computer, leave it in the box"- unknown but famous quote. Hope all this helps |

QUOTE(spawn_syxx9 @ Sep 1 2004, 05:20 AM)  So my AOL keeps telling me that I need to download a new anti virus. It keeps giving me McAfee, but I have heard that they aren't so good. Which anti-virus progs do you people use that you feel is the best? doubtless, kaspersky anti-virus or bitdefender i use kaspersky for most 5 years. that's cool and powerful .. |
