| 1259201 | 2012-02-14 22:55:00 | I use MSE. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1259202 | 2012-02-14 23:41:00 | For free use Microsoft Security Essentials (MSSE) as mentioned above. Leaves most of all the others, free or paid for, for dead. |

| 1259203 | 2012-02-14 23:47:00 | I use Avast free version. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1259204 | 2012-02-14 23:52:00 | MSSE for free ... NOD32 for paid. Sorry bobh ... think Avast has gone backwards a little of late. Nortons, McAfee ... and most of the others ... only good for advertising space on V8 Supercars ... wouldn't catch a virus in 6th gear full throttle down the back straight ... :D |

It sure has -- just got back from a customers place, their PC was obviously infected with something - it had the latest Avast, I ripped it out, put in a trial of Nod32 and even while it was installing started detecting active infections. |

| 1259206 | 2012-02-15 00:46:00 | What's Kaspersky like? | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1259207 | 2012-02-15 01:03:00 | Its good :rolleyes: ( I'm being sarcastic BTW about good) --- over the last few weeks I have had to remove it twice from computers --- both times it stuffed up the connection and nothing would get on the internet, so nothing could get infected. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1259208 | 2012-02-15 01:07:00 | It sure has -- just got back from a customers place, their PC was obviously infected with something - it had the latest Avast, I ripped it out, put in a trial of Nod32 and even while it was installing started detecting active infections. Maybe it is time that I went back to MSSE. |

| 1259209 | 2012-02-15 01:49:00 | Wainuitech has done his own testing - search here if you want some results = 1)Nod32 for a pay AV 2)MS Security Essentials for a fee AV. And remember AV is not enough, you need antispyware as well. Spybot Malware Bytes Superantispyware Hiajckthis - which is useful but won't tell you what is bad and what isn't, but a good tool to have in the kit |
