| 1240115 | 2011-10-26 17:15:00 | What are the current recommended Antivirus apps as used by the experienced members of this forum? Non-free ? Free ? Anyone who suggests Norton/Symantec will be reported and taken out the back to be quartered :p |

| 1240116 | 2011-10-26 18:08:00 | Well, I use two right now. I use Norton Internet Security on one system, and because it's been gaining/overtaking Norton in detection scores I use Bitdefender on the other. ...and you can try quartering me, but I suspect you won't get very far. :-P (I use Norton not least because it's our recommended software, and I believe in running that to ensure that it isn't a killer of system resources, etc. If I think my readers should use it, I eat the dogfood.) And Avira was my free software of choice, but to be honest, it nags way too much for my liking. |

| 1240119 | 2011-10-26 19:56:00 | pressf1.pcworld.co.nz MSE for Free NOD32 for Paid Though I did like Avira, it did relatively well in detecting things in my own little 'sandbox' setup I tried, it just used a little bit too much of the system resources. Same for MSE, it'd kick off a scan in the middle of my gaming when I had it on my main desktop. I've forked out for NOD32 and the new version 5 is even better than ever!! |
