I have the free McAfee from AOL, wanted to know if Norton or what everelse is better...
What is the best antivirus software?agv I prefer McAfee. There's little real difference between the virus signatures that they work on -- but I've had performance problems when I've had Norton at work. I've used McAfee for 10 years and never had a problem or a virus hit me hard.
What is the best antivirus software?antivirus software AVG is the best in my opinion.
it doesnot consume too much memory like the others.
Mcafe is better since norton atkes up lot of memeory in the system and while unistalling it is known to have some components left in the system !
I really don't think that any one anti-virus program, is better than the other. I have had, Norton, avg, and McAfee. I never got a virus, with any of them. It just is a personnel choice..If you watch the ads, from staples, you can get really good deals..I recently picked up the McAfee, security pack 2006, which cost $69.00 for regular price, and after I sent in all the rebates, I got it for free!!
All the other answers are great, if you want to spend time getting rid of viruses and spyware.
Nod32 is the best. it uses very little memory, 2-5 megabytes of free ram on my machine, it updates the virus database sveral times a DAY, and it protects you against most spyware. It looks at all internet traffic, Microsoft Office documents, outlook email, and when your system is idel, it scans all files on it, when you come back it pauses, then when idle again, it picks up where you left off.
Get Windows Vista and u'll forget anti-virus softwares.....I dont have a single anti-virus software on my P.C. All of them s***
Most of the answers to your question are on target. The only one with which I disagree is the assertion that all AV software s****, and you really don't need it with Vista anyway. I think it's important to never be lulled into a false sense of security.
