AVAST ??? never heard before i currently not using any antivirus software. Why?? because my computer running slow whenever i open antivirus even my computer had formatted. i will use this antivirus if it wont cause my comp slow. but seems like its situation not change after i use AVAST

It was McAfee that intially caused me to try Avast. Had some very poor performance issues, yet McAfee said no viruses. AVG, which I was using as a backup, came back clean too. Friend suggested Avast, I installed it and found 4 viruses neither of the other programs found. Performance came back to normal after a reboot.

A comment on Norton: Anyone who really knows their computers avoids Norton like the plague. A good number of viruses and worms are written to slip right by Norton. Since Symantec took it over some years ago, it has been nowhere near as effective as it was when Peter Norton created it.

Regardless of what antivirus you use, free or paid, I recommend running an online scan, such as Panda ActiveScan or TrendMicro Housecall at least once a month. Antivirus programs can be disabled by some viruses, so an online scan is a good way to double check your security.

You can download The Kaspersky Antivirus For Free At My Kaspersky Link Warning The Download Is Free But You Have To Have A registration Key To Download. Because during instalation it will ask for a key. I have A Key that expires during the year 2007 If you would like the key file please email me at MillitaryDragon@gmail.com . the key has never been used yet so please hurry if you want it. if you would like to see details about kaspersky please visit there site Kaspersky. If you are worried about viruses and stuff well don't because I assure you there are not any. If the download link for the kaspersky antivirus does not work then try this link Kaspersky

I have been using Norton Internet Security 2005. It is simply the best. It provides you with an AntiVirus, Internet Security, Firewall, Spam Protection, Adware Protection Blocks Pop-ups and does much more. Norton Antivirus is the best. If you are connected to the internet it automatically downloads the latest virus definitions. and i believe it should be installed as soon as installing a fresh copy of windows because PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

I really don't like norton that much because it takes up more cpu then most security suites. I stick with either ZoneAlarm, Mcafee, or Pc-cillin because they only take up around 5% cpu and norton takes up 12%. Norton might be good but I just don't like it taking up that much cpu. I could have almost 3 security programs running to take up nortons cpu usage. I really do think ZoneAlarm pro Security Suite and Kaspersky is a good mix.
