| Best Antivirus Program To Use?
Hello,
Im looking for a virus program that is very good to use that doesnt use up much resources? I was using norton but people said its a resource hogger. I'm needing one that protects your computer 100% and really detects viruses, I used norton and it has let viruses get by its protection several times. |

| reply to oursys08 So this program cleans your computer 100% and it will detect pretty much all viruses etc...? I think I used this the first time I had a virus and it never detected anything but my computer still ran slow If you read my post in the computer hardware forum Im having trouble out of a virus or HD problem right now  |

| reply to oursys08 I am only familiar with what I have used. I currently am using NOD32 + BOClean + ZoneAlarm Pro as my resident security. My experience on my Win98SE machine is that these three applications combined still use less system resources than NAV alone does. For just $118.90 you too can have peace of mind and performance.:) |

However, many people agree that Nod32 is an excellent antivirus program and that it is relatively light on resources. I think it's your best bet. |

| reply to oursys08 I just started using NOD32 a couple of weeks ago. I never thought I would. I have to admit, I have been pleasantly surprised. I guess resistance is futile. I am using it along with free ZoneAlarm and Microsoft AntiSpyware. I can't even tell it's there. I suggest you give NOD32 a try. I think you'll like it. |

| reply to oursys08 There is no "best" AV, only one which is best suited for your hardware, surfing habits and personal likes. And has been stated, no AV is 100% effective. You might check out the 2005 AV poll for some opinions on the various programs available. »[Poll] Antivirus Poll 2005 -- God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things.

I'm using Avast and I like it a lot, I used to use Norton on my 98SE box and I liked that too, never a problem.
It's not about "what's the best", it's about what works for you, your habits and your computer. There is no "100%" effective if your habits will circumvent your AV, no matter which one you use. -- ~~~...and I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain...~~~ |
