Looking for an Anti-Virus software

Im looking for an anti-virus. I was using Norton, but it slowed up my PC especially on start-up. Any recommendations on what to use?
Freeware or Cracked.
Thanks

 

This is not the place to come to look for cracked software for any purpose. There are some decent options for free AV apps and also a lot of nice apps that cost <$20.

 

what kind if security suite doesn't

 

nod32

the best money can buy

Kaspersky has some awesome stuff too, but expensive--look for free rebates (one of the best anti-virus programs out there and the only anti virus program that scans into memory too) http://www.kaspersky.com

 

AVG from Grisoft. Its free download and protects you from virus and spyware bugs.

 

as far as free antivirus.... Avast! or AVG.... i started a whole thread just deciding between the two!... which btw... was for nought cuz my comp company ended up sending me a security suite... lol

 

If your with optus, they have a a 12 month free Optus Internet Security. I just found out today. Its really good.

 

Next time use the search feature found on the top right hand side. This topic has been covered many times before.

 

that it would be too hard, post a thread, got quicker inputs that way

i 2nd the search function first

cheers ...

 

AntiVir if free. Nod32 if money.

 

I second that exactly.

Links to both:
AntiVir
NOD32

 

NOD32, it's cheap and it's the best you can buy that is out on the market.

Free though, I don't think much could beat AVAST, but that's mainly because I haven't used AVG or AntiVir.

 

i third AntiVir - it scores the best detection rates out of all free AV products and takes up very few resources.

 

For free go with AVG, if you wanna pay go w/nod32 or kaspersky.

 

i think avast is a good solution i have used it for 3 years now both pro and home and they equally as good NOD32 is also another good one if your willing to chip in some dollars

 

Antivir has the best detection rates out of any of the free AV software. It beats AVG, Avast, and even in some circumstances NOD32. Antivir also takes up very little resources.

 

Between Antivir, Avast, and AVG
which ones also provide spyware removal (I think it was mentioned earlier AVG did that)

 

i just you spybot search and destroy for spyware

 

using cracked software to protect your computer is pretty ghetto IMO.....how cheap can you be

kaspersky is good stuff, their internet security suite isnt bad.....I dont use anti virus much anymore but they do offer the most interesting programs

if you want something free learn how to setup an openBSD gateway to lockdown your network quite well, practical computing is what keeps your computer clean

 

i agree with this. i've trusted nod32 for a long time. It is very simple and extremely low on system resources.
