i was forced to reformat my computer due to some problems and so i'm on the lookout for the best antivirus possible. What do you fellas have? and where can i "find" these? Props.
I don't use one but my brother has BitDefender and AVG on his. BitDefender has an evaluation version available here, and AVG has a free one here.
I have used Norton Antivirus, McAfee, AVG, and Prevx. On one computer: nothing. On the other computer: Prevx beta testing version (no longer available) I've actually found prevx to be good, but maybe I think I've only had 1 virus affect my computer since I've had it. I installed it to get rid of a virus that was on my computer. I'm not sure if Norton stops protecting the system after u stop paying, b/c I got a few viruses that Norton couldn't get rid of (not sure if it was when I was or wasn't paying). I think I had AVG and it didn't do the job for me. I only get viruses like once every year and a half or 2 years.
I use one called avast. it updates automatically every time the computer reboots and if infected quarantines the file immedialty b4 it does any damage. I got it on bearshare
I use Avast. It seems to check/update the virus database every time I boot my PC. So I know its working.
