0 Dark Elitist Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) I use Symantec Norton Internet Security 2005 AntiSpyware Edition on one of my computers and Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005 on my other. So far, I have not had any viruses, spyware, or other security problems. I have heard a lot of good things about NOD32, BitDefender, etc. I think it is a matter of personal preference really at this point. Some virus scanners detect more viruses than others but a lot of those extra detections don't seem to be in the wild. Here are some test results as to what the best Anti-Virus software supposedly is: virus.gr's Chart, April 2005 Best bet antivirus apps for 2005 by C|Net The 2005 Top 5 Best Free Anti-Virus Software Results About.com's Top 7 If you are looking for a list of Free Anti-Virus and other Internet Security software, here are some links: Neowin.net's Freeware Alternative List Free Internet Security Software: The Freeware Roundup The Infinite List of Items Known as Google :rofl: ;) Enjoy!

0 AndrewNP Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 was trying to decide whether to keep nod32 or switch to mcafee?... nod32 ha been good, hasn't picked up any viruses through all my residential checks and i am relieved, but then worried that it might have been missing certain viruses and are eating away at my system. mcafee was a good AV when i used it a while back...just would like to hear some personal opinions for this situation, and any experiences or mishaps that have happened with either.

0 AppleDave Veteran Posted July 20, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 20, 2005 Nod32, here is why. I ran a scan right before I uninstalled norton, it found NO infected files. Then I installed Nod32 and ran a scan. Nod32 discovered 37 infected files that Norton didnt, it even found a file on my C: drive that was holding TONS of warez that wasnt mine!!! And all of those files were infected.

0 bmetelsky Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I switched from Norton AV 2005 to Kaspersky AV Personal. I am very happy with KAV - the virus signatures are much quicker to update and it seems to use less resources.

0 NEVER85 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I didn't like the NOD32 interface.

0 +virtorio MVC Posted July 20, 2005 MVC Share Posted July 20, 2005 No contest between those option, NOD32 is the clear winner. It's is true that Kaspersky has a nicer interface (plus it's also a fine scanner), but my feeling is, if you know how to use a computer you'll have no problems with the NOD32 UI. Especially since it spends 99% of it's time sitting in your system tray without you even needing to look at the interface (I still haven't figured out why Anti-Virus companies like to fill their software with cartoonish pictures).

No extra junk buttons or anything. 586240882[/snapback] I assume they complain about the interface of the main NOD32 program, not the Control Centre, which is a very easy to use (and attractive) interface.
