Default Which AV with anti-spyware engine do u think is best?


After seeing this thread KASPERSKY ENGINE: Are you really protected? Think again!!! , I am so confused that I have to open a new polling thread, Please co-operate with me to find out a good AV with a anti-spyware engine

I know that no AV is perfect.....

I was using AVG free editions, also never had any problems, but there is a problem, if AVG finds anything as virus or spyware, it blocks the total access of that file, and this is very annoying as if u want to access that file then u cannot. So I was giving a try to Kaspersky as many told that it is good than others

Avast....occupies least resources,gets updated silently (avg on other hand opens up a update dialog box right on windows start-up,which is very annoying ),has virus database generation (never used it much though),and if it matters..it's the coolest looking AV too.

Default Re: Which AV with anti-spyware engine do u think is best?

i think ZA with inbuilt AV and ASpyware... is the best as far as i think...
it is really good ... i have been using it ..and guys to tell u i visit more of spyware , trojan ridden sites and downloads loads of stuff.,..

man ..ZA has been top notch.. i feel i have complete control over my system.. coupled with NOD32 recently.. my system is virtually sitting inside a bunker

No, I have also used ZA trial, and came to a conclusion that it is the best firewall but it has common AV/spyware engine

McAfee, and I have a licensed copy (wonder how many trojans come bundled FREE with the hacked versions). If you cannot afford the licensed version go for AOL Antivirus. It now uses McAfee, and its FREE.

Paid:
NOD32 is the best paid (and overall) antivirus out there.

Free:
Avast is the best free one.
Actually Antivir is better than Avast in virus detection but it doesn't cover outlook & messengers....so Avast is better.
