i use norton2005 but i not satisfy i want a anti virus that can protect my computer much better. so what is best anti virus?

personally i use Symantec antivirus COPORATE EDITION 8.0 it rocks!

though expensive and not EASY to get (aka hard to find a DL of it online if you wanna go non legit)

it works, auto updates dailey and can protect 10 computers in a network on one disc! aka no cd key.
i like it and symantec , not a big fan of Mcafee, though its all up to the person.

Generally, an AntiVirus is a program that scans the computer's hard drive for similar behaviors, per say, of viruses and such.

Definitely, one of the best AVs currently on the market is AVG.

Also, it's free.

However, the best way to avoid viruses and such is not just a single AV. Rather, it's the combination of several antispyware programs, along with BEING SMART on the internet--no stupid downloads and such.

Also, realize I said several antispyware programs, not AVs. Running multiple AVs can easily result in a computer crash. In other words, don't do it

Lastly, please don't cheat the companies that help us in the battle against malware. They're the ones helping us.

If ya have any more questions, post back.

Thanks.

Though for all those that do want a QUICK way to get rid of a virus go for "AVAST!" *actual title of the software* it has a free 30 day trial if you want to clean up your computer, though per the quote above, then please spend the 20 - 500 dollars to get the legit program, dont hurt those that want to go legit.

Yes, you seem very right in what you do, especially looking at your signature:

Sure thing...


Thanks.

Check out NOD32, it is consistently one of the top performers

What dlh6213 said .

I was using eScan AV for the past year, just shifted to eScan ISS. Seeing the performance given, for the first time it feels as if someone has made an antivirus software keeping the home user in mind

NOD32 all the way!
