0 Takhisis Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition. Installed it on nearly 500 Machines and it works great. Only niggle is that you sometimes have to reboot a machine after it has been installed, but not always.

0 Ryster Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 unless of course you uninstall avg, install something like avast/nod32/symantec corp and see how many viruses avg missed. 585956687[/snapback] Indeed this was the case for me too. AVG is an inferior product and I learned the hard way. My PC started to behave oddly, so I thought I would try scanning with an alternate product (McAfee) and doing some spyware scans... McAfee found a virus on my system that AVG had not protected me from. From that point on, I vowed never to use AVG again and warn others against it.

0 Ryster Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i 586164064[/snapback] We use this at work (JCB) and we have found it to be one of the buggiest releases of VirusScan Enterprise McAfee have ever released. Error messages on shutdown, interferrance (machine Blue Screen of Death) with Client Services for Unix drive mappings as well as slowing the machine down more than 7.1 did.Apologies for the double post, I was going to combine the posts but couldn't see how to delete my second post.

0 xpgeek Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 I uninstalled AVG, made sure its program directorys were actually deleted, did a registry scan, and tried AntiVir for a while. Then just for the heck of it after a couple hours uninstalled that and tried Avast to see what it was like. I am veryyy impressed with Avast. It is a bit large, as it installs instant messenger scanner, P2P scanner, email client and web-mail scanner, web and network traffic scanner, but that is some incredible level of protection and seems almost impossible to get a virus with it all running. Was 5 times the protection I actually need, so I custom installed it and toned it down to system active scanner only, and it is very light on resources and runs great. Not knocking AntiVir, they are both great, but Avast is just wow impressive. All the people I know running AVG I getting them to make the switch to Avast today. For the novice pc user that level of protection, the full install all protections running, is amazing.

All the people I know running AVG I getting them to make the switch to Avast today. For the novice pc user that level of protection, the full install all protections running, is amazing. 586187832[/snapback] I tried Avast but found it deeply lacking and it let viruses through (it let one through not long after a clean install, then detected it but couldn't get rid of it). :no: The folks over at Virus Bulletin regularly test the ability of the major AV products to detect currently circulating viruses - their "100 Top Viruses in the Wild." They award their VB100 rating to AV products that detect all 100 in any given month.Over a period of time it's possible to tabulate how often individual AV products receive the VB100 award. Here are the results for some major AV products from 2003 onwards: Nod32 10/10 100% Norton 9/9 100% F-Secure 9/9 100% Trend 8/8 100% Kaspersky 9/11 82% McAfee 8/10 80% AVG 6/8 75% Norman 7/10 70% F-Prot 6/9 67% Avast 6/9 67% Free vs. Paid Anti-virus Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/323306-your-favourite-antivirus/page/10/#findComment-586187882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Scorbing Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Trendmicro Internet Security 2005 - Don't under estimate this product. It gets updated every 3 hours and won't slow your sistem down like Norton, Panda and McAfee. So far, it has caught everything that has tried to enter my PC. Great piece of software. I tried them all and this is the best so far.
