500919 2006-11-21 08:20:00 I've did a search and read some old threads. AVG, NOD32 and avast sounds good... But those are old threads. Has anything changed? Whats the current free best? Timbo (11006)
500920 2006-11-21 09:04:00 Among the ones I have used, I like Kaspersky the most. However, it is not free after the trial period (one month). developer (4447)
500921 2006-11-21 09:11:00 latest version of AVG free working ok for me nothing slipped through yet beama (111)
500922 2006-11-21 09:33:00 AVG is good for home use and there is a free version.
For a business (or those home users who want extra piece-of-mind) NOD32 is the one to go for. And at only about $70 for 12 months is a good price too.
You can buy 24 or 36 months as well and it gets cheaper, per year, the more you buy.

500923 2006-11-21 18:10:00 If you have the $$, get NOD32. The best of the best.

Best freebie: Avast. User friendly.

AVG is still a good freebie.

Nortons - NOOOOO !!!!!!

500925 2006-11-22 11:35:00 AVG is good :) stu161204 (123)
500926 2006-11-22 13:10:00 I suppose the best non-recommendation (is that a proper word/phrase?) is for people to report if/when they've been infected and what anti-virus app they were using at the time. It's kinda difficult to know how good your anti-virus is if you never get infected.

For me AVG free version has nabbed a couple of nasties in several years of use. So I suppose that could be called a recommendation.

500927 2006-11-22 18:44:00 I use NOD32, I have never been infected - but it has warned me about various email attachments and files on websites.

AVG seems to do the jobe well, most of my customers end up using it.

I do test them and NOD32 wins by a mile.

500928 2006-11-23 04:42:00 BitDefender is a lot cheaper and still the best currently.;) Don't get it? Hmm, why BitDefender is not cool? I usually go to rubbish to search for some free medias, and you know what? lol, I set it to aggressive mod. :thumbs: And not even a single spyware or virus entered my computer except for McAfee and Norton.:groan: PedalSlammer (8511)
