| 1421605 | 2016-06-09 22:45:00 | if people get hundreds of PC infections/issues - seems they are harvesting them through poor/unskilled/ignorant browsing habits. should they not be educated about it initially? ... thats 90% of the issue : some people are just stupid, or dont care. Thats why in some companies , its sometimes the same people getting infected PC's , again and again. In reality there often is zero PC use training in small medium companies. But , there have been cases of infections caused by bogus ad's on Legit sites : allways use an adblocker, allways . And , some legit sites can get hacked , one NZ radio streaming site got hacked & was infecting PC's (confirmed on a workshop test PC, via IE only) . |

| 1421606 | 2016-06-10 03:34:00 | Is anyone else using Panda free? I have had for a year or more with no problems. Along with Malwarebytes seems to keep things under control. | Arnie (6624) | ||
| 1421607 | 2016-06-10 20:33:00 | I get nothing....for over 15 years running and manually scanning with Avast home edition and Malwarebytes. Nothing. Seemingly therefore there are no infections. So if I ran Nod 32 it may well find something that it would class as infections? I believe I don't need to. . Neither do I. The last infection I got was in the early '90s. However, you never know....and I'd rather be safe than sorry. So I run a decent one. The other thing I like about NOD is it warns you about dodgy websites and sometimes downloads...it can be a flase positive in the case of a couple of downloads, but again, better safe than sorry. |

| 1421608 | 2016-06-10 21:45:00 | Hi Arnie, I have Panda free running on three computers. Seems to work well, but did have a problem with an update a few weeks ago. Panda sorted it out after a couple of days. Also have Malwarebytes, SpywareBlaster, SUPERAntiSpyware, and Crypto Prevent. As above, I think most of the problems users get are self inflicted due to their bad surfing habits. |

| 1421609 | 2016-06-10 23:16:00 | Just tried the NOD32 online scanner. It found 14 "Potentially Unwanted Applications". 13 were Panda Antivirus(Toolbar.Visicom and Netfilter). 1 was the latest Ccleaner setup file in my Downloads folder. |

| 1421610 | 2016-06-11 00:05:00 | looks like the toolbar is a bit sus - and I would be surprised if other files were as well | bevy121 (117) | ||
| 1421611 | 2016-06-11 00:12:00 | Just tried the NOD32 online scanner. It found 14 "Potentially Unwanted Applications". 13 were Panda Antivirus(Toolbar.Visicom and Netfilter). 1 was the latest Ccleaner setup file in my Downloads folder. Nod does pick up many toolbars in installers. Some are obvious, including he google toolbar, others the person may or may not know they are installing them. Think most have seen computers that have browsers with several toolbars that the owner doesn't know how they got there. The Viscom toolbar - a magnet for malware that takes over your browser, search and various other things - read all about it - Here (www.shouldiremoveit.com) < theres a pop up you need to close on that page. |

| 1421612 | 2016-06-12 00:11:00 | I use Quihu's 360 Total Security . It is free . It is used by Warehouse Stationery Ltd who scan your USB's before doing any printing or scanning for you,. I also use Microsoft Security Essentials (free) The 2 programs do not seem to "argue" with each other. NB I run MSE manually. 360 also has Optimise features. |

| 1421613 | 2016-06-12 10:07:00 | We do pretty regular testing ourselves, to make sure we are always offering or customers what we think is the best, and have been really impressed with Emsisoft Anti-malware. It is also getting rave reviews from some of the other tech forums I frequent. It is antivirus as well despite the name. :D We haven't been impressed with Eset's performance in the last few months, it has missed a coupe of crypto variants so a couple of our customers got hit. Also really don't like the new version of the remote admin control panel. |

| 1421614 | 2016-06-13 06:06:00 | Emsisoft Anti-malware is Ok , but still not perfect (nothing is) Just doing a scan on a customers PC that had infections (only using the inbuilt windows defender) had already run Malwarebytes and removed lots, also ran JRT removing a couple more . Then ran Emsisoft Anti-malware -- Found another 9 all PUPS. Then installed a 30 day trial Nod32, changed settings, running a deep scan and at the moment sitting at found 23 More so far at roughly 60 % through, mostly pups. But the others missed them. |
