| 833783 | 2009-11-26 05:43:00 | Definitely NOD 32 is the best and MSE is not that far behind and its free. I wouldn't use anything else | gary67 (56) | ||
| 833784 | 2009-11-26 05:51:00 | NOD32 - Best Purchased Product AntiVira/MSE - AntiVira appears to have better protection over all the freebees, but has a difficult interface for the novice user. MSE is your best bet as recommended by others. |

| 833785 | 2009-11-26 05:51:00 | Hi I have norton internet security version 16 7 2 11 and its up for renewal That rates if not at the very bottom, then pretty near. NOD32 is tops. |

| 833786 | 2009-11-26 22:00:00 | I hope you guys are right about MSE, I have just installed it on one of my systems to replace Avast. I had been quite happy with Avast & it had warned me on several ocations when some nasty was trying to invade. The first thing I have noticed, it re-enabled windows auto updates which I had set to custom. Big Brother knows best. |

| 833787 | 2009-11-26 22:11:00 | Auto updates is still on the same setting I left it on. MSE didnt change it on any of the 3 PC's here. I just disabled the Spynet option in the registry | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 833788 | 2009-11-26 22:45:00 | I wonder why it decided to change my settings then. I allowed the updates to go ahead anyway, I hadn't done any for a while. Regarding the spynet, dosent big brother mind that being turned off? |

| 833791 | 2009-11-27 00:38:00 | I am testing Nod32 and Mcfee at the moment for work and either have good and bad for us so far. Nod32: scanning is fast, not compatible withour email server (scalix) To scan one file is amazingly quick Mcafee: scanning adjustable which is a great feature (set on 10% and took 2 hours to scan complete which would take AVG the same time but use 100%), takes 30 seconds to scan 1 file!!! wtf. Picked up a trojan Nod missed.... I wanted to go with Nod, but due to the incompatibility with our email server it is too much risk. Will probably go with Avast pro as have used that heaps over the last year and has proven to be good |

Yep - Avast has gone down the loo and around the bend :lol: Got a customers PC here - just finished reinstalling the OS/ Programs etc. It had AVAST and got a virut virus from some torrent / pirated movie they had downloaded, avast never picked it up in the torrent file and was only excuted when the torrent/zipped file was extracted. Heres what it does - its a mean sucker Virut spreads through every .exe and .scr file on a computer. It's polymorphic, which means it spreads faster than any antivirus can contain it. 99.99% of the time the only solution is a reformat and reinstall. Virut is so aggressive it even infects already infected files with itself. It's a computer killer... Interestingly - MSSE did stop it in its tracks. I cloned the drive twice - just to make sure I didn't lose anything as there is a LOT of family photos they wanted - Did a scan with MSSE with the drive slaved - its completely unbootable -- Results from quick scan - mainly for this post (www.imagef1.net.nz) as a "look See" - The original drive I slaved to a Linux PC as I didn't want it infected, and lifted the photos and other documents off that way to a removable drive, since this virus wont touch Linux ( I hope) --- This is one time I actually liked using linux :p Now I'll rescan the files with Nod in windows. So Avast = Raaasssppppppppp |
