Best Anti-Virus Software?
 
Lately my computers been lagging like a pos. I think i'm gonna re-load it soon, but before I do, I would like to know what is the best anti-virus software to use?

I currently run an expired norton 2006, which came with my computer, but when i re-load it, i will have a 3 month trial again. Instead of going this route, I'm wondering what a good anti-virus is? AVG free? Norton?

:dunno:

Norton sucks balls.... They used to be great... now their software is just bloated and I find the updates aren't all that good.

I highly recommend NOD32.... It's ultra small, uses little resources and updated don't expire.

for Free AntiVirus AVG is the way to go.

Panda is good as well for Home use.

Symantec (Norton) is good for Corporate Networks as they have great tools for scanning multiple computers, but for home use, Norton Home Blows.

Panda is really good....

That it is!! I use Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot, Windows Defender, and Panda.

Panda is the only non-free one.

HOWEVER it is worth it considering I've never had any sort of virus... EVER!!!

I hate norton...1998 I came up with a line "Damn you Norton" after I tried to uninstall norton software from a computer..but it would just keep coming back or have parts of it linger. I'm willing to bet if you uninstall norton your computer will become a little less laggy.
Norton Corporate Edition is better but still.
I like:
AVG free
Nod32

lot of ppl also use:
Avast!
Panda
Fprot

And zonealarm isn't an antivirus..it's a firewall.

If your computer has issues...here's what you do. Get this free stuff...install/run scans with Ad-Aware SE Personal, Spybot, Windows Defender, AVG Free, Bazooka Scanner. If this doesn't fix your problems...then good luck. After you fix everything use Firefox with the adblocker addon and ditch Internet Explorer...and your life will suddenly be easier.
