Default Net Protector - Is this is a good Anti Virus ?

If yes, then here's it WOT scorecard:-

netprotector.co.in | WOT Reputation Scorecard | WOT (Web of Trust)


Is it trustworthy? In any case you should have only one antivirus installed at a time. So if want to use Net protector then uninstall ESET Smart Security. It must have been installed during mobo drivers installation.
Well actually i bought the anti virus from md comp so i will probably install it. There shouldnt be anything fishy. idk. i got a cd so den der shouldnt be problems rite.

Having the CD doesn't really guarantee absence of problems. I don't have any idea about the software. Let someone else answer this.

@ Cool Comps: But what really influence you to buy Net Protector? No offence, but there are Norton, Kaspersky, QuickHeal etc. easily available.

Yeah among free alternatives avast is really one of the best, if not the best. Also consider, Avira Antivir, Microsoft Security Essentials & Panda Cloud Antivirus. Although in my case I have quite a few problems with Panda.

It happens sometimes. If you want a free Kaspersky Security Suite check these two links:-

1. Download and Activate Kaspersky Security Suite CBE 11 | Raymond.CC Blog

2. Permanently Change Kaspersky Security Suite CBE 11 from German to English Without License Error Problem | Raymond.CC Blog

This is a special computerbuild edition which you have to activate every 90 days with a fresh license key which you can generate freely in this link:-
COMPUTER BILD: Login

You can't get your money back, but this is a very good AV, actually one of the best.

@coolcomp If you have purchase that antivirus you should first use it and then decide it good or bad.Dealer always try sell profit margin product.Now the best internet security as per my view is Norton Interner Security 2011.Kaspersky is totally crap antivirus for now.

On my p4 system it works quite fast since when I installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2011.
Had used Norton on my p4.PC used to hang a lot with it but still norton offers great features too.

Using Kaspersky Internet Security for the last 3 or 4 yrs. Never had any problem. The per head cost of the 3 user pack is very affordable

I am using kis IS for about 4yrs without any problem but now faced a serious problem, kis virus database was deleted by some kind of virus.I tried to update it, it shows unable to download.I tried every steps like uninstalling and reinstall but no sucess.Then switch over Norton IS 2011 and believe me detected 18 virus.From then my system is absulately ok.

Forget about those days of pc hanging.NIS IS 2011 is most fast and best internet security out there.First use the trial version and then decide about that.you check the riviews

If you have any valid reason about that antivirus is bad then change it with KIS IS 2011.If you not used the KEY of your netprotecter antivirus then tell MD to change it asap.

If antivirus doest not able to detect the virus, then it can create risk to ur system.yes data can be deleted, even entire hard-disk can be formatted by virus without user desire.

Buddy give it a try. Do an online scan. If anything's wrong install MSE or Avast. After that you can think about purchasing Norton or Bitdefender or whatever suites you.

Arey baba, ki eto anti virus niye jhamela!!

Coolcomps just use any of these -->

ESS v4/McAfee Total Protection/KIS/Norton/AVG/Avast/Panda..

Just remember one thing --> There is no AV in the world which will detect ALL viruses/worms/rootkits yada..yada..yada..bla.bla.bla..

Just use any one from the above list...note that all of them are not free..so what..just use the trial...get another trial key..register again with some other email id to get trial key and keep working....or get something free like AVG...

Just relax..you take too much tension yaar!!

and one more point...since u can see in this forum that nobody has heard of net protector, so u can make out that its not very popular...so why risk ur os and applications??

just go with popular ones....forget Net protector...!!

Just my opinion!!

Can't support you on McAfee. Our office use this and its an absolute junk. I have installed Avast in my PC and never faced any problem for the last 3 years.

Thats what na boss...everybody's experience differs...I think I have friends who will recommend all of the ones I mentioned as well as some friends who will dislike ALL of them and suggest something else instead...

I myself have recommended AVG and KIS in the past but now recommend ESS.

As for my own computer --> No AV...not because I am too confident but because I cant find any for my OS....!!

Actually as I have to look after our IT dept also, this McAfee thing is driving me nuts for the past 3 years. Of course, users are reckless in using pen drives and all. But still its failure rate is highest among all the AVs I have used so far. But no offence meant, somebody may really find it good. A decade back they were sitting pretty at the very top.

BTW, what OS are you using, Linux, MacOS or Win98?

I know AVG works in this OS...not too keen on this too..

I tried ESS 64 bit...installer said OS platform is not supported...

that left me heartbroken

Too bad, Eset does not make AV for Server OS

By the way, I do not use Linux..but I do use Solaris..

Oh u r the IT guy in ur office...that means u r GOD in that office ..!! at least from the Rights/Privileges point of view...!!

In our office also, McAfee is used...every day at around 730 it does some automated scan and all the systems start crawling!! Total pita yaar!! Even some of our clients use McAfee...I think in the Business community, McAfee has a large share..
