better antivirus? avast vs norton
 

which antivirus is better? or which you guys suggest to use?

Im using 360 about a year. It is free and fast. From Norton and Avast maybe Avast is better.

Been using Kaspersky for 3 years now...

I've been using Avira for last couple of months, its pretty good but seems to be a real memory hog especially on my netbook.

url of 360 ?

Eset Nod Antivir, works just fine for me. Norton is well known for sucking your computer resources dry. Even on a high end system.
Don't know much about avast

Not so - Norton is great and has a very small footprint and using hardly any system resources at all. You must be referring to an experience from years ago because it has not been that way for at least 6 years.

My recommendation would be Norton Internet Security with out hesitation. :thumbsup

New laptop came with webroot, so far liking it

I use F-Secure.

Not editor's choice, but..

" Bottom Line

F-Secure Anti-Virus 2015 skips the bells and whistles, instead focusing solely on antivirus protection. If that's the kind of tool you're looking for, it can be a very good choice."

Kaspersky or die

I am happy with Kaspersky.

Kaspersky seems to be good, but I am a little bit concerned it being Russian.

F-Secure being Finnish (as am I), I don't think that they will make that much backdoors to back up Finnish world domination plans (as there isn't any). Russian and USA companies are quite a bit question mark.

That has not been true for years, like 10

I use avast and have been for years.

From those two, i choose avast :)

I bought a license for ESET Smart Security off of Amazon for $12, couldn't be happier, fucking ESET rocks!

ESET Smart Security & Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium & Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit & Sandboxie is what I use on my Windows 7 Workstation

I second that. Norton sucks, McAfee too. Best antivir, however, is your brain. Be careful with attachments, update your system frequently, use an adblock, flashblock, whateverblock...

Tried Kaspersky and had a terrible support experience.been using Norton 360 for a few years now and I like it

avast.
norton is bloated shit.

Much like your girlfriend.

Used Kaspersky for many years, dumped it few years ago for...

Anti Virus Software

Doubt I'll ever change. :2 cents:

Norton hands down, have been using it for 10+ years. It has saved my ass and I've made $$ using it to cleaning other PC..

Kaspersky all the way!

i feel i will go with avast
thx guys for suggession

Nod 32 for ages, never had any problems!

will it work with windows8?

Norton will lag any computer. I've had AVG for 3 years paid version on one PC and the free version on another and they both do very well.

Used Avast then got a shitty virus, so on ESET NOD32 now ;)

Errr... Microsoft Security Essentials anyone....?

I'm not downloading exe's or warez and I don't open pdf's or docs sent to me by email but it's blitz quick and unobtrusive.

God I can feel the heat coming already..... haha

AVG and Norton, both are good.

Don't need antivirus. It's a waste of system resources.

AVG is not good

Avast sucks ASS people. We had a virus on one of my sites 1.8 YEARS ago and Avast still shows a warning. Fucked up. Go with Norton.

I think it will, just use the latest version!

I agree :) ESET Smart Security :thumbsup

did u used free or paid avast?

If you are still looking, more antivirus here.

thank you for the link

I use AVG on all comps and phones of the house for years without any problem ☺

I'd highly recommend installing MalwareBytes Anti-Exploit free edition, on top of whatever AV solution you decide on. :2 cents:

I have used avast and it was working fine

Norton Internet Security.
If your computer lags it's because it's filled with shit or 10 years old.

Avg ftw:)

i am just uninstalling this stupid shit from my computer. after years of using it, it is a real pain in ass with their fucking shitty updates, doing any time at the day, doing for few minutes, taking all my fucking memory, this shit needs to go off my pc asap, otherwise my whole cd will go out of the window ... oh man, avira, fucking shit program!!! :2 cents: uninstall it now or you will get nervous very soon, fucked up upgrades ... :2 cents:

Linux.

Windows Defender is probably the best free one.

+1

Also look into rkill, rouguekiller, and combofix from bleepingcomputer for cleaning things up after an infection.
