What a good anti-virous? Thread

What is a good ani-virous program? I am taking my computer to get wiped clean for the third time now, because there are so many virousus on it that I can't even turn it off. So what ant-virous program would you guys suggest? I really need a good one because this is happeneing to the computer that I do my mod work on and each time it happens I loose a bunch of stuff, I alwas forget to peut something on the backup disk. So yeah, I really need a good anti virous, ad I checked the comcast site (my ISP) and they don't give one.

Norton Anti-Virus is one of the best I've ever had. Very nice program.

i use norton antivirus and i must say i havent had a virus for almost a year now. And even that one was easy to fix So if i were u id def go with norton.
For freeware i would recommend antivir. it is the best free program u can get. I used it for a long time and had almost no viruses, and also magazines like pcworld nominated it.

Norton eh? My router came with it, though I never installed it because I think you have to pay by the month or somthing, thanks I'll try that.

well i never payed anything... i dunno if im supposed to.

Actually, come to think of it I installed it on another Windows comp and I don't remember paying for it, granted it came with the router so

well who would pay anyway if it works without... maybe the paying is for some premium service that gives u extra information about new viruses or something....

Norton is good, But you should get ZoneAlarm, Norton and the free AVG anti virus and your sorted for everything - zone alarm stops spyware and everything but norton i've known for some spyware to slip through it - but zone alarm is ace..

- get all of them if you can and your a safe dude

I use an Online Trend one Uk.trendmicro-europe.com

XSI doesnt like Zone Alarm im looking for other free firewall options

definitly. It's somewhat expensive, but worth every penny.

AVG for anti-virus, it is free, efficient and with regular updates

well if u want the whole thing (antivirus & firewall) u wanna go for the Norton Internet security package. This is what i got and all i gotta do is run adaware once a month and thats it

Ok, how about links? In case my norton thing is like a demo or something.

Whatever you get, don't get the one that's used by Hotmail. Whatever the heck that one is, it seems to think every RAR file is a virus...

LOL NORTONS SHIT

it infects ur pc and doesnt do anything.

Get AVG its free and readily avalible just google it

Chainsaw, hammer, gasoline and matches, ... but the best is a nuclear bomb! Gets rid of your neighbours virus problem too and it takes care of the annoying spyware also.

Go to the doctor! He can help get rid of the virus with one of his many needles of glory

It works for me. Perhaps you got an infected, fake norton "off the internet".

*nix, best anti virus program ever

just use zone alarm, it'll keep most people out of your comp

and those that get through could just as easly bypassed one you paid for

But i cant use it

Yeah, I also use XSI, and I can't have any problems with that - Alwas my #2 used program (#1 is what ever new game or mod I just got or downloaded is)

Ahhh Norton is Bull... I got Norton Internet Security with my Gigabyte motherboard a few weeks back - only a 30 day trial. Whats worse was the fact that the firewall on it did sweet F.A.

Then when i knew i had a virus and some spyware on my comp that it let it pass i used the Norton Anti-Virus and it found nothing - even when it had all the updates... don't waste your money or your time.

I used AVG to search and it found the viruses straight away - then used ad-aware just to make sure the spyware was gone.

I can't believe how much of a rip Norton is - when it doesn't even safeguard your comp. Bunch of F****.

And im done
