What is your favorite computer anti-virus?

[pioneer]

And why?

[G@Len]

i dont have any personal favorite, but i do have a list for most preferred anti-virus software

1. McAfee Enterprise 8.0i (or higher) - enterprise level mobile computing
2. Trendmicro OfficeScan - good for enterprise desktops (light, not memory intensive anti-virus)
3. Norton - secured enough to handle personal desktops/notebooks

others....
AVG
Panda
ug uban pa...

desclaimer:
wa ko labot kung unsa mahitabo sa inyong computer if mosunod mo sa akoa gi-post, tanan is based sa akoa experience.

I used to be a die-hard Norton anti-virus follower but not until I found NOD32. I tried McAfee but it's too heavy.

Yet I am wishing to have a Kaspersky anti-virus installed in my computer. Security experts have concluded that Kaspersky anti-virus is the best today.

[slackware]

Norton die hard ko! I dont want to try another anti-virus kay makasala na sad ko. That means mag crack na sad ko. hahahahahaha!

[Bambi]

When it comes to (computer) got no knowledged at all, on and off the PC is an easy job.(kamao ko ini) I must have to be careful not to get some virus otherwise hmmmmm....i will get a problem

NOD32 is very popular in European countries, been to Czech Republic ug ang mga users didto nag-push namo to use NOD32 but due to company standards and policy McAfee was implemented.

Kaspersky was once tested but failed in some part nga amoa gipangita for enterprise level implementation. For speed over network is very good, pero ang problema lang kay ang iyang style sa pag-update will cause bottleneck sa amoa server.

ang amo com naa mi Panda, pero wala ko kabalo ngano mao ni gipili sa ako bana, naana man ni niya sa una pa

[G@Len]

nice man sad ang panda, dili lang kaayo ilado sa market...

[st. agnes]

Im usin Avast Anti Virus!

[st. agnes]

Been using before Norton, PCcilin, Macafee & now Avast... bisan unsa man guro okay basta e upgrade lang kapunay kay ang virus every now & then nag upgrade sad, then pag dili upgraded imo anti virus nah kuyaw! dili na ma recognize ang bag-on na virus ma infected dayun na imo PC... upgrade lang jud kapunay....

[Mari]

I've tried a number... BIT DEFENDER is the Best ever!

[G@Len]

checked bitdefender web site, im impressed with the platform support and its product line.

[Mari]

G@len, it's the best so far for me. even better than Kaspersky. and it's not resource hungry. it has a gaming mode and updates every 15 minutes which gives u lesser chance of virus infection

[Mari]

nice man sad ang panda, dili lang kaayo ilado sa market...

Panda is also good but resource hungry...so heavy

[G@Len]

maybe you're talking to the latest or later version of panda... that was 3yrs ago i think, my first panda encounter.

[insurectus]

exactly!

[smiffytheninja]

I love McAfee because it's free for me with my Comcast internet, detects viruses almost instantaneously, and it gets rid of them too

[G@Len]

ill drink to that!

[B:)]

I'm still Norton, everytime I renewed it, it's comes pretty easy. I guess I stick with it for less stress, unless if it could no longer treat tough job. Then, I have to change. For now, it's working pretty good, no fuss.

[G@Len]

yeah, if it fits your needs then no need to shift...

[changed]

Norton Antivirus 2005 for my windows xp...i dont need antivirus for my slackware and ubuntu

[LanggamTamsi2]

[Lorenzo]

Macaffee and other antivirus brands

[svetlana]

We use NOD32 antivirus

[brune]

nothing beats NOD32... see for yourself, http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/ergebnisse_2007_11.php

[slackware]

there's no such thing as good antivirus for windows...if you want stability, use linux

[brune]

there's no such thing as good antivirus for windows...if you want stability, use linux

yup, yup but it boils down to the user... windows OS usage is almost 90% and linux and other OS is the rest.

[slackware]

user friendly man gud ang windows...linux and the rest are for advance users lang.

[Happy]

We're still using Panda

[G@Len]

these figures might be true to desktop users... but ubuntu linux and its variants are starting to have a grip to the market share.

try to check f-prot antivirus... 

[Julai]

I don't have a favorite really, but I'm using AVG right now.. And I like it coz it's for free.:)And it performing effeciently so far.

Deep Freeze instantly protects and preserves baseline computer configurations. No matter what changes a user makes to a workstation, simply restart to eradicate all changes and reset the computer to its original state - right down to the last byte. Expensive computer assets are kept running at 100% capacity and technical support time is reduced or eliminated completely. The result is consistent trouble-free computing on a truly protected and parallel network, completely free of harmful viruses and unwanted programs.

While Deep Freeze provides bulletproof protection, its non-restrictive approach also improves user productivity and satisfaction. Placing no restrictions on a user's ability to access all system resources, users avoid the frustration of downtime due to software conflicts, operating system corruption, virus attacks, and many other problems. Users are always assured of computers that are consistently operable and available.

Deep Freeze is currently available in two editions for Windows: Standard and Enterprise. Each edition has been designed with features and capabilities to suit the needs of any environment. Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows Server editions are also available.

[bol-anon_ko]

nganong sa windows raman naay antivirus? nganong wala may antivirus para sa mac ug linux?

Bitaw tinood na.

[G@Len]

got some couple of linux (redhat, slackware, debian) and unix systems running on trendmicro solutions for protection and trendmicro makes a lot of money out of it. cant tell you the figures...

previously naa sad ko redhat with fprot and mcafee on top of it.

[slackware]

totally useless man ng trendmicro...mas maayo pa wala nalang...gamit ko trendmicro sa una permi butoy akong pc sakyan ug mga trojans

[G@Len]

as i've said, its TrendMicro solutions not just a specific TM product. yeah, i agree with you, there are some products of TM that really sucks and even ang tech support nila nga tagaManila maglisud ug support.

anyway, i have my own set of needs... you might have your own different sets of needs same goes with other users.  so if you're satisfied with your current antivirus, ma-proprietary man or opensource, why change... 

just my 2SGD cents.

[slackware]

wala may maayong antivirus...change the user nalang dili ang antivirus! hehehehehe

[G@Len]

hahaha  in the first place, user baya ang "kasagaran"  sad-an ngano ma-virusan... so ill drink to that! 

[stardust]

kaspersky... two thumbs up for using deep freeze! kadaghan na mi maluwas ani...

[Mari]

we are also using deep freeze coupled with bit defender in our cafe
