Best Virus program out there

Ive used Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, but have discovered that Norton and McAfee can really mess up your computer by blocking a lot of access to programs, and sync issues.

Ive liked using Kaspersky and Im currently using it right now, but Ive heard of BitDefender being a great program as well.

What Im currently looking for really is a very good Internet security program that blocks intruders, hackers, registry edits unauthorized, virus prot, etc

Any suggestions??

 

so do i, i'm using Kaspersky too and it's very good antivirus.
i've never heard about BitDefender, so i can't say whether it is good or bad. There is another antivirus, which is considered the best, NOD32, and may be in some time i'll get it.

 

Cool cool, Ill check this NOD32 program out. Thanks for the tip

 

There's a great site that I point people asking this type of question to. It's http://www.av-comparatives.org. They do independent comparatives of various antivirus products. All of the suggestions made here are covered, and objectively rated.

 

Oh Snap! Thanks man! Ive heard of this site. DUh, cant believe its slipped my mind. Thanks again

 

Yah, after reading the reports for December 2006 at that site, no doubt, Nod32 had the highiest score on comparison.

Hhmm..... Well perhaps Ill give NOD32 a try and see what happens.

 

I agree with Halo and have been using various free tools to keep protected, and haven't been hit in over four years, even when I did something stupid, one of the apps saved me from grief

 

Yes, sorry, I don't mean to imply that this is the endalll security tool or that you have to pay for top protection.

Safe browsing tops all other preventative measures. Doing this with the WORST antivirus product out there is likely safer than not doing it with the best.

I've never used anything but the free products, and I've never had an issue, either.

 

Im using NOD32 and im very happy with the results, speed, and detection rates. I have also tried kaspersky which is also an excellent program. The only fault I found with kaspersky is that I found that it noticably slowed down the internet, but on saying that there is the plus side with the pro-acvtice defense and other options which is part of KAV. Regarding as to which is the best of the two, its swings and roundabouts and is down to personal opinion. I prefer the speed and lighter footprint which nod32 seems to offer

 

Gotta throw my two cents in here.

For me Avast! Anti-virus seems to work the best. I repeat, FOR ME. The boot time scan may take a while, but runs before any viruses have a chance to hide themselves away. I tried AVG's AV and ran a complete scan in safe mode, then unistalled, and ran Avast!'s boot time scan and found 4 viruses that AVG had missed.

That functionality won me over.
