Some of you have a low speed PC & some have Highly Configured PC
So i just want to know which Antivirus is on top according to Digitizers.
I m posting some common antivirus on this poll if you use any other than pls reply

saurabh.sauron · 31-07-2006, 04:31 PM

another thread for antiviruses...there are too many threads regarding best antiviruses. pls search for those threads. IMO, Avira Antivir, Avast! Home, Kasperesky, AVG and NOD32 are the best.
Paid:- Kasperesky, NOD32
rest are free.

try a combo of AVG+ZONEALARM....

Sykora · 31-07-2006, 05:14 PM

My choice is never on the list. When in windows, I use BitDefender + Zonealarm. I find that both are worth the money they cost.

this month im going to buy a Licensed Version so which one do you think is Best

Sykora · 31-07-2006, 07:27 PM

If you don't mind paying for the license, Zone Alarm is the best overall Firewall. There are others which are better, but in most cases, they are a pain to configure. Zone Alarm also comes with its own antivirus. Perhaps you should try that first before going in for a dedicated AV.

Out of the antiviruses, my opinion is that BitDefender is the pick of the proprietry and Avast! is the pick of the freewares.

samrulez · 31-07-2006, 07:45 PM

lol.............where is NOD32....how can u have an anti virus poll....without NOD32?????

Sykora · 31-07-2006, 09:35 PM

Almost every security software product blocks ads in IE

dhan_shh · 01-08-2006, 02:30 AM

"Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite" is the Best.Atleast don't use Norton,AVG or Bitdefender (all 3 r useless).

aditya.shevade · 01-08-2006, 08:50 AM

I have been using avg for a long time and it has never given a chance to complain. It's good and free. What else can you ask for?

Aditya

paul_007 · 01-08-2006, 09:13 AM

frm the above list i like avast but it is not the best, i think NOD32 is the best..

Ultimate Z Fighter · 01-08-2006, 09:28 AM

NOD32
Avast!

Dink2cool · 01-08-2006, 10:50 AM

McAfee Antivirus
McAfee Firewall
Spybot Search n Destroy + Adaware

1st used to use norton but the l8r version now are all cr@p ... so McAfee works for me now

Venom · 01-08-2006, 11:19 AM

There was no option of "None" so am replying here. :]

samrulez · 01-08-2006, 10:23 PM

For the ultimate security Kaspersky Internet Security 6........but eats a little on mem.....
And ingeneral for home users....NOD32 is da best....smallest footprint and good security......

NOD32 is da best....for low-mid range desktops

royal · 02-08-2006, 02:00 PM

Antivirus: NOD32, Kaspersky, Bitdefender

Firewall: ZoneAlarm/Outpost

That's it

shashank4u · 02-08-2006, 02:51 PM

i ve norton antivirus 2006 , as everyone is yelling abt nod32 ,
i ve decided to shift towards it , as norton 2006 is very heavy on resources.
nod32 will do it all i think and what should be the best combination of firewall with it.

satyamy · 02-08-2006, 03:59 PM

I got one mail from digit at the bottom their was written
Email Scanned by http://www.mwti.net
that mean digit uses eScan for email scanning
But strange no votes for eScan
although eScan also is a Microsoft Antivirus Partner
