Title: What Anti-Virus/Spyware software should I use?
Post by: Tupin on June 17, 2008, 06:52:59 PM
I just need a better one, I think I'm using Norton or something right now, and I know how bad that is. D:

Get Kaspersky Antivirus. It's worth the price, which is a little high. But it's consistently tested as being the best one available, so I use it.

Any good ones that are free?

Seconded.

For spyware, I'd use Spybot: Search & Destroy.

I don't seem to get viruses. I only have avast!, which works fine, despite what everyone says.

I can't really suggest anything. Everyone seems to like AVG around here, so I'll say that.

I have AVG. It's free. But you won't get any updates soon, since they're making everyone switch to 8.0, which you have to pay for. >:(

Some guy at Best Buy said he used Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware, and it was pretty good. So thats what I use. It was only about $20, and i've had no viruses or problems since I got it.

No. AVG and Avast are merely mediocre, and can't catch a lot of stuff.

Last time I used AVG, 8 wasn't free yet.
I don't even use antivirus, and nothing has happened to me yet.

Oh, lol, I see. I feel stupid. :P
Whenever I clicked upgrade, it took me to a page where it only had "Purchase". Unless, I only noticed 'Purchase". :P
