Looking for Anti Virus Software Recommend

[mykey38]

My lappy has a virus which keeps turning off Windows update and buggering up my firewall settings.

I am currently using BitDefender after moving away from Norton (although I never had a problem with it)

Can anyone suggest a good antivirus software?

Thanks for any help forthcoming

Avast!
AVG

Yeah Free AVG is a good one, low memory footprint and integratres into Outlook ... and even better it's free

Avast!

I also use Avast on a recommendation after a re-install and no problems so far (9months)
(touches wood)

I've been using Avast for ages, fantastic so far.

AVG seems to have significantly lower detection rates, particuarly when it comes to compressed files, than the best of the commercial AV scanners.

I'd suggest Kaspersky or F-Secure.

I use avast with a minimal install, I would recommend it

[gman1981]

I tried avast, but I didn't like that fact it took an extra 10secs to open Outlook, becuase of it's splash screen. If there was a way to turn that off I couldn't find it. So I went back to AVG.

P.S. I have not had any virus problems so far with AVG, but then again, I am usually pretty sensible about web pages viewed and e-mails opened.

AntiVir! I prefer it to AVG...

[mart_haj86]

said it before and ill say it again and again and again, again, again, you get the drift right?

Nod 32

[leeglf]

nod32 its easily the least obtrusive and its got one of the best detection rates!

[ja3h]

another nod 32 user here otherwise the free avg!

NOD32

Cause its the very best. No diggedy no doubt

[gman1981]

Hmmm... seems NOD32 is getting a bit of praise. Is there a free trial for it? How much does it cost?

[mart_haj86]

there is a free trial available here. and its 23 pound a year, here

[kempez]

Well worth every penny too
