0 SteMan Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 That's because you had the adware before, windows had a system restore point created, and then you removed the adware. Nod32 still detects it in system restore's cache which is locked and cannot be touched. Fix: Delete old restore points using system restore. Hah! of course...why didn't I think of that... Thanks!

0 mikeboy Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 well, I must say, that the new version of Antivir really competes with all the paid programs out there, it updates once a day, and checks for them like 3 times a day, besides, I havnt had 1 virus in 6 months... AVG blocks them before they can get in! also window's firewall works like a charm Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/323306-your-favourite-antivirus/page/30/#findComment-587210264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rliu Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I'm using Norton right now, but i want to switch it to something else, cuz my old computer's norton is expiring. anyway, i've DLed NOD32, but does it do auto-protect? like u turn it on and the antivirus monitors the stuff itself? if yes, how? thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/323306-your-favourite-antivirus/page/30/#findComment-587212534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BlueMe Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Vote for Kaspersky, and this is why : Because i like to test all my app. to see if they worth installed or not, some time ago, i've downloaded (not execute or installed ! ) a lot of trojens, virus, etc etc from some "bad" sites, then scanned my PC allmost all the important AV's on the net, and it turned out that Kaspersky recognised most of them, althought at that time i've used Bitdefender which it would be the 2nd on this list, i know that many of you have started with one AV and will die with it saying that is the best. But if u really wanna see what's the best you could try some thing similar to what i've done. Anyway the best AV is Common Sense !

0 Malisk Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Wow, that's an amazing number of Symantec fans. :blink: That just happen to be the single antivirus tool that has caused me internet conectivity errors due to an *antivirus* setting.

0 Ethere Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I see a lot of people voting for NOD32. What is the benefit over using a free AV such as AVG? I use AVG at home and I love it. It updates all the time, and I don't have to pay for it.

0 ccuk Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Tredn Micro PC Cillin... since 2002 its been fantastic and just works... main thing i like about it, are the CONSTANT updates meaning there is never really a lapse where you aren't up to date so to speak. 2006 is the best version so far, very stable, smooth running and easy to use.
