0 Josh Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Exactly... AVG's not a good choice at all... been there, tried that... it's real time scan/autoprotect is sh!t too... Im tellin you... spend $50, get the 5 licenses of F-prot, and give them to yoru family... ;) :lol: in the end, they'll love you. Changing course alittle, ClamWin is FAR better than AVG... and if you're really ThAT cheap then you need to at least be using ClamWin.

0 AJerman Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Symantec Antivirus 9 Corp, hands down. Unless of course you need free, and if so, then I dunno. I use SAV though, have for a long time, it's basically the most perfect AV I have ever used.

0 Josh Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Honesty is the only policy... it's not the nice one, and it's not always the best, but it's the only one I believe in. Some things can't be sugered up... and even when they can I refuse to. In hindsite (for him), nieveness is going to be a b!tch lol... ;) BTW, Im not attacking you... but by being close minded you're really going to hurt yourself in the end. And as far as even speed goes, F-Prot doesn't slow anything down... at all... not liek SAV/NAV, AVG, or McGAyfee...

0 Purple Haze Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I'd used Norton for almost 3 years, switched to NOD32 in October and haven't looked back. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/323306-your-favourite-antivirus/#findComment-585956774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Josh Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 sav doesn't slow anything down, nav does. 585956769[/snapback] Actually, I moved from NAV to SAV 3 years ago. I was very pleased with how much faster things got moving to SAV. However, 3 months ago I moved to F-Prot, and things got even faster. Not sure what to tell you, but I've seen the light ;) lol... not to mention (since I wasn't using free/stolen/warez versions of SAV) the savings I get going down to udner $10/license.

0 Dick Montage Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 I've always used Norton because.. Well, because I just always have. But am getting peeved at paying ??? for consumer level protection each year. A lot of people are suggesting NOD32 to me, so if it's free - I'll give it a try next time I reformat a spare PC.
