For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir庐 PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than most "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. And did I mention that it's free!

Download here:

BTW, Avoid the free version of an anti-virus called AVG, it is wildly popular, but it has horrible virus detection capibilities.

What is a good inexpensive but reliable Anti-Virus software that won't slow down my computer wh

here's my story. My other PC, we had the trial for CA Security (i think that's what it's called), but then the trial expired so my mom decided to pay for it online, so she did, and next day, my computer pretty much died and never worked again ... so. I got a new laptop, and it came with Norton Antivirus (trial again i think ... maybe, not sure) but the thing I DON'T LIKE is that when i run a scan, it REALLY slows down my computer. Is there an antivirus that'll do it's job and scan my computer without slowing it down TOO MUCH? I don't want to wreck this brand new laptop thanks haha.

What is a good inexpensive but reliable Anti-Virus software that won't slow down my computer while in use?product key

Kaspersky or NOD32 are the best (recent tests at av-comparatives.org).

If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):

1. AVG Free

a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)

b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses

Cons: low virus detection

2. Avast!

a. Real-time protection

b. It has an option to delete a virus once found

c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.

Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface

3. Avira AntiVir

a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG

I'd say the best is Norton Antivirus, and @ $40, certainly affordable.
I would never recommend Norton or any Symantec Products. In a comparison of Anti-virus products in College, Zone Alarm rated #1 and was more advanced and less of a hasle than Norton. You can purchase Zone Alarm in Stores now for $39-$59. Zone Alarm offers Object Reconciliation which is useful when a corrupt or infected file changes or adds an object to your WIN32 folder. It also stops added running process'

AVG is the best with a free version available on the net. u can download it, by makeing a query at google . u'll get the site and download. u'll have no problems with that..but idf u want to buy then buy the same it is the best...even rated no. 1 by google
i agree norton is at the forty dollar price also if you go onto the web a very good anit-pop-up is stopzilla and i think you just have to type in the keyword search stopzilla to get it and its the best price ever FREE!!!!
Look for AVG they have a free version and it updates automatically. I've used it for years with no problem.

What is a reliable, safe, cost effective anti-virus software for my pc at home/work?spyware removal

Here's some ideas to "roll ya own" Internet Security Suite for free. Free is always the best.

1. For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V)

I like the AOL ActiveVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. ActiveVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.

In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, ActiveVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

Full test results are here:

http://www.virus.gr/english/fullxml/defa...

ActiveVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.

Detects and removes spyware, too!

Updates many times per day to detect new malware.

Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivir...

2. For your Firewall..........(Always use only 1 firewall)

An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall "leak tests" that even most of the "paid-for" firewalls cannot pass.

How do I re-establish my McAfee anti-virus software after obtaining a new hard drive?

I originally downloaded it from the Toshiba desk top.

How do I re-establish my McAfee anti-virus software after obtaining a new hard drive?spyware remove

Your McAfee subscription is based on your login information which is usually your email address and a password. If you have forgotten the information you can contact their technical support. If your McAfee came as part of your Toshiba package you could also contact Toshiba technical support.

Once you are logged into the Toshiba or McAfee site.. you will have access to re-download your software and update the product. I would suggest you do this before wandering on the net.

You will also want to ensure you've completely run windows update and rebooted several times until everything is up to date.

Good Luck!

Got a new Computer. AOL & VERIZON have anti virus software should I also put Norton in to it ?

Or will this slow it down to much What do u think I need ..help on this ..

Got a new Computer. AOL %26 VERIZON have anti virus software should I also put Norton in to it ?stinger

You should only realy have one "active"* antivirus on a computer at a time, not only will adding another slow your system down, but it can cause errors/crashes... this is due to the fact that a).you have two things trying to do one thing at the same time, or b). both programs try to "back up" file tables to different locations, or (quite commonly) c). one program may see the other as a virus...

so if you want to install a new AV program, you should uninstall the old (provided both programs are active*)

*I'm not sure if active is the proper term to use, but what I mean by it, is that the AV program is actively scanning, or in otherwords, scanning as you go, like say for example, you open a word document, and (somewhere durring the opening process) it displays a "word has requested a virus scan of (insert document name here).doc"... that is active scanning... but not all programs are like that, for example in my case, I have Clam AV (free, you can get it here: http://www.clamwin.com/ ), and norton both installed, but that is ok, because norton is the only "active" program, since clam only scans when you tell it to (and for e-mail), and I am pretty sure it doesn't copy file tables... anyways, I use clam for scanning every 2-4 months, and norton stops all the little things (like all the nasty floppy disk viruses)...

No, have been using it since 98 and will never use anything else, you never mentioned what problem you are having. Some people don't understand it and blames the Norton. You are missing something.

Do a search for AVG anti-virus, its the best anti-virus out there. They also have a free anti-spy program. If you download Yahoo toolbar, there is a good anti spy program in that also.

What is as of now the best anti virus software available?

There are many solid AV options, both commerical and free downloads.

Of the free Antivirus software, Avira has the best detection but lacks e-mail scanning. It's a good choice for systems without a local e-mail client (or people who used web-based email like gmail, yahoo etc- services which include their own scanning)

AVG Free Edition remains very popular and includes e-mail scanning but is middle-of-the-pack at detecting threats. Avast! is another popular free AV scanner.

Of the commerical products, Kapersky and NOD32 are currently the top performers.

Norton has completely redone their AV software so that current versions don't slow computers to a crawl like older releases. Both Norton and McAfee are "name-recognition" brands- they used to be the best in the biz for many years, but aren't the top dogs any more.

With the new Vista do you need anti-virus software?

Yes, you definately need antivirus, you can use a program such as Nod32 or AVG and they both work great. I also recommend having an Antispyware solution, that may help you out. Vista is more secure, but in time there will be vulnerabilities that Antivirus software should help to minimize.

With the new Vista do you need anti-virus software?virus scanner

Absolutely!

If you are a BT customer then the AV and security software you get as part of your package is already Vista compatible.

Go to http://bt.software.yahoo.com/ysftc/p/bt/... and select it from there.

If not, then check with your ISP, or favorite security vendor.

With the new Vista do you need anti-virus software?anti virus software

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/ On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps.
yes
Vista has it's own anti-spyware, but it is very new; you canot rely on it. However, I do not think it comes with anti-vitus.

What is better Mcafee or Norton for anti-virus software?

Neither, they are both pretty useless, i would personally recomend AVG free for anti virus and Zone Alarm as a firewall.

I use these and they work a treat, just search for them in google.

What is better Mcafee or Norton for anti-virus software?virus

trust me, the computer geeks all agree that AVG is he best, foret about thos crappy mcafees and norton. THere has been testsre pc - proving it is the best

What is better Mcafee or Norton for anti-virus software?anti virus

To be truthful..neither..

Norton is so invasive and, ends up causing more problems than wild elephants in a china shop. Macfee is alittle better but, for nearly the same money you can obtain a hugely better AV program..Take a look at"

1.bitdefender

2.NOD32

3. Kaspersky

Here's a link to give you some ideas~

When you're ready to install the new program, do a search on Yahoo Answers for the proper method of uninstalling the old one and, installing the new. :)

Good Luck~
Do not instal mc afee if you already have a norton program there is a known problem between them.Norton is a heavy program that can slow you down and cause other problems.A lot of people use either and swear by them,but have they experimented and tried the others,i think not.AVG FREE and WINDOWS DEFENDER are about the two best all round totally compatable programs,with spybot a close third.Do not install AD AWARE it can have a fatal system error and you cannot uninstall it without a special program.This is a well known problem on the forums and blogs.
I have moved to Kaspersky Internet Security at a fraction of the price. They have UK help numbers and an understandable manual. Available at Costco.
Avast is better than the two of them put together and you could add AVG in just for good measure.

How can we install a new avg anti virus software to windows xp, now it is mc afee in running?

Disable or uninstall the mcafee first and then install the AVG. We have the AVG and it works great. We have the paid version with the firewall.

How can we install a new avg anti virus software to windows xp, now it is mc afee in running?viruses

Delete Mcafee first through add and remove software on your control panel. You will mess up your computer if you have both running.

How can we install a new avg anti virus software to windows xp, now it is mc afee in running?antispam

get into control panel,click on add/remove programs,you will see a list of applications currently installed on your PC.

Click on McAfee once, then click on uninstall/remove.

Once that task is completed,restart the machine and install AVG antivirus.
NEVER run 2 anti virus programs at the same time!

Uninstall one before installing the other!
If you install AVG without removing Mcafee first then you will find your system will become very slow, it might not boot into windows at all, if you want to install AVG first remove Mcafee then install AVG

Hope that answers your question

Can free anti-virus and anti-spyware software adequately protect a computer, compared to commercial

My anti-virus and anti-spyware provider - Computer Associates - recently upped their prices, and I'm wondering - can I adequately protect my computer using freely available software like Ad-Aware and Spybot, or do I really need commercial protection software?

If I can adequately protect myself with free software, what all should I get?

Can free anti-virus and anti-spyware software adequately protect a computer, compared to commercial software?windows

Yes and no.

Even if you buy anti-virus and anti-spyware programs you aren't completely safe on the internet (not even if you also buy a firewall).

Malware can and does get on to computers via programs such as Flash player, Adobe Reader, Apple QuickTime, Java, etc. A good anti-virus / anti-spyware program should find and remove it when it's on but it can't be relied upon to keep ALL malware off your pc.

You can get pretty much the same level of security from free programs, *if you choose well*.

Yes, there are plenty of scam and malicious anti-spyware programs out there but there are also some very good freebies.

In some cases, e.g. AVG, etc, they are a (good) way of getting people to try their product in a market that is dominated by Norton %26 McAfee. And yes, in some cases altruism is the motivator. Might be hard to believe in a cynical world but, nevertheless, it's true. E.g. the MVPS Hosts file and SpywareBlaster.

How do i handle viruses hampering my PC,I've tried every anti-virus software?

Sometimes, these viruses protects and locks themselves from being deleted or detected. This is because they can modify the system once it is called. In this case, I would try to use standalone and separate operating system such as BartPE running on CD and scan the harddisk for viruses and spyware again, usually with good success. I made this CD from http://skyjuiceiswater.blogspot.com/2008...

Why hasn't anyone written a virus that can get around anti-virus software?

I wouldn't imagine the top 5% of programmers would be working at Norton or McAfee.

Why hasn't anyone written a virus that can get around anti-virus software?adware

They do daily but AV companies patch their data base daily as well. The thing is that most virus writers are simply cutting and pasting existing code ergo the volume of worm based viruses that can easily be contained via heuristic scanning.

But every once in awhile someone gets innovative and that's the real threat as it can take days to weeks to identify and crack those ugly little buggers

Why hasn't anyone written a virus that can get around anti-virus software?antivirus scan

Viruses do get around antivirus software.

The companies who make antivirus software have special unprotected servers which deliberatley get infected to detect new variants.

That way they can find fixes and generate new virus databases, usually on a daily basis.
they have.
They do all the time, that's why anti virus software needs to be continuously updated.
Where do you think they work, the anti virus softwares block the virus after the virus is released but before the customers get infected with it, that's why updates are released, this means it needs to have a virus to find the cure, the business is who release it first.
the anti virus people make it imposible for them to get around it, they have much more money for research and development to make sure that no viruses can get through

I am not in a capacity to buy an anti virus software with cost. Hence How will I get a free antiviru

I hate paying for anything I don't have to.

I would not recommend AVG Grisoft. (you have to run it manually and it doesn't give full service unless you pay )

A few years ago I got turned on to Comodo..They are a leading security company and also offer a freeware anti virus, I love it because it gives 24hr full protection. You don't have to buy it to get all the features. I also use their freeware firewall and boclean. They all run on start up and I haven't had a problem.

What are your experiences with freely down loadable anti virus software? Good or bad? Do they work?

The free ones work as good as the "brand names" for protecting against viruses IF you keep them updated. However many of the brand name ones also block spyware, spam, include a firewall etc. They offer more features. With the free ones, you usually have to run five or six programs to get all the features. (But they are all free too). So its price versus ease...

I've been using Clamware for about a year. It has served me well. However, I am also careful not to do anything which is likely to attract more viruses/spyware.
They're usually low quality meaning they don't have all the features of the regular antivirus software that you buy at the store.
well Yes Av's really works... i have lots of experience... even i made a worm, My av didn't detected... it but after a week it got idetected... there are lots of powerful anti-virus softwares now.... they're GOOD...

Does anyone know where i can download free anti virus software that will get rid of them for free?

Kaspersky or NOD32 are the best (recent tests at av-comparatives.org). If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):

1. AVG Free

a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)

b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses

Cons: low virus detection

2. Avast!

a. Real-time protection

b. It has an option to delete a virus once found

c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.

Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface

3. Avira AntiVir

a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG

b. It's cute umbrella icon

c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses

Cons: A very sluggish update

No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect but a good mixture of the two will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean.

You don't need anything.
u do not need anti-virus software, macs do not get vireses or spyware or adware. macs dont get any of that "bad stuff".
Viruses and spyware were created for stealing data, hacking the computers and sending spam emails.. So makers of viruses target the widely used Windows Operating system, not Macs.. To say clearly, viruses are not compatible with Mac.

One more thing, Mac has inbuilt security. It doesn't welcome third party software. So unless Mac people create a virus, you won't get infected..

So, forget about getting an antivirus software.

Could someone help me with finding the best anti virus software.?

there is also one called AVG

Could someone help me with finding the best anti virus software.?antispam

i would suggest Norton Antivirus

its is updated monthly so u get better protection from viruses

Could someone help me with finding the best anti virus software.?avast

The answer depends on what you want.

Some questions you need to answer first.

1) Do you want to pay for the program? There are free anti-virus programs out there.

2) What operating system are you using? Are you on a Windows PC, OSX or Linux? If you don't know, it's usually Windows.

3) How much knowledge do you have about computers?

Now, the most common answer, and most commonly known antivirus programs in the market are:

-Norton AntiVirus

-McAfee VirusScan

-ZoneAlarm AntiVirus

There are many more, but they are less popular. This doesn't mean they are not as good. Each try to give you as much protection as possible.

Also there are some online antivirus programs. These programs will not keep your computer safe at all times. However, you can use them to scan for viruses from time to time. Most of them are free and do a good job. You can view a list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ant...

So there are many questions to be answered here. It all depends on those 3 questions.
I think CA Antivirus is cheap and great.
