McAfee, it works rlly good for me, and i kno allot of them do this, but it blocks u from going to an EXTREMELY virus filled site... well it gives you the option... but it still cool
kaspersky is better
Avast!

It's free and it works.
Kaspernasky.
AVG is alright. I installed it on a system for a friend of mine who didn't want to spend any money. I also installed Zone Alarm, and never had any major issues.

I use Norton, which also offers firewall protection for me.

You might also check with your ISP. Mine provides the CA products as a free service.
i agree you need a number of things on your comp and i will tell you things that are all free and amazing.

Norton Antivirus and Macafee?

Is there an alternative too these two programs. I ran Nortons and cant update my virus files due to a bogus error and macafee was worse. Any other options out there? Any free ones?

Norton Antivirus and Macafee?virus scanner

Hi there,

Instead of all these "Mine is better than yours" answers that go on around here, I'll instead answer with the facts.

Looking at current protection ratings, AVG scores a lowly 90% protection against all known viruses, whilst Avast comes in at 92%. This means they are letting through roughly one in every ten viruses - pretty shocking.

Norton and McAfee are slightly better by protecting against 98.3% and circa 97% respectfully of all known viruses. However, Norton and McAfee can be known for being very heavy programs which can tend to slow down certain machines. If you are thinking of installing either of these I would definitely recommend you download their free trial to check it does not affect your machine in this way prior to opening your wallet.

If you would be interested in other Security products that are better than all of these, you should try either Prevx1, Kaspersky or F-Secure who all score over a 99% protection rating.

Out of these three my recommendation would be Prevx1, as this is the quickest at protecting against new outbreaks of malware.

Norton Antivirus and Macafee?anti virus software

Macafee antivirus protection wont work...why?

How do you download the comcast one. The free one. It just says that the page is currently unavailable but it said that all day and my dad got it for his coimputer this morning....its so weird!

Macafee antivirus protection wont work...why?virus

Mcafee is not very good, if you can Get rid of it and search for

download AVG anti-virus free

and download zone alarm free

free programs work just as good most of the time better then the ones you pay for, there are some good ones out there but Mcafee and Norton are system hogs and cost too much.

Macafee antivirus protection wont work...why?anti virus

Having done the research from those who test Antivirus programs (av comparatives, virus.gr,others and other professional reviews) the highest rated free programs is

Avira Antivir http://www.download.com/Avira-AntiVir-Pe...

The Top Rated Antivirus Programs you can buy is Nod32

http://www.download.com/Eset-NOD32-Antiv...

or Kapersky

http://www.download.com/3120-20_4.html?q...

(nod32 is high rated and won't slow your system down)

Kapersky is also highly rated.

What you want to stay away from Is Nortons or Mcaffee

both are not as high rated and will slow your system down.

AVG Antivirus and e-mail?

I just downloaded AVG the free antivrus.

It seems to work fine but unfortunately it blocks access to my e-mail account!

Can I change something in the settings so that I can still get my messages even if I use AVG?

I'm using Windows Mail.

Thank you for your help.

Avast Antivirus Question....?

I have the free edition and......

Does it protect against viruses? Does it have a built in firewall? Does it protect against spyware? How about adware?

If not... is there any all-in-one program up for download? Lemme know and if you have it how good it works!

*professional answers only please*

Avast Antivirus Question....?windows

Does it protect against viruses? Yes.

Does it have a built in firewall? No.

Does it protect against spyware? Minimally.

How about adware? Minimally.

If not... is there any all-in-one program up for download? The only free all in one program I've tried is Blink Personal Edition,

http://www.eeye.com/html/consumer/produc...

but based on my experience with it, I would not recommend it.

My recommendations for freeware applications are:

firewall: (listed in order of preference)

Comodo (http://www.comodo.com ), or

PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall )

Comodo recently released version 3.0 of its firewall, which adds an intrusion prevention component that's very effective, though it does take time for it to learn your system, and requires some ongoing attention by the user to make sure programs don't get improperly blocked. Comodo is one of the strongest firewalls available, freeware or commercial, according to the independent testing site matousec.com.

Panda antivirus and firewall. How about Zonealarm + Avast?

Anyone else have their pc restart on a regular basis after it flashes up an alert. Never used it myself but am trying to work out if it's any good. Seems to be a resource hog and as sygate is finished... Anyone used Zone Alarm free firewall and is it any good? Same for Avast.

My other half needs help!

I'm a linux user so don't have the same problems...

Panda antivirus and firewall. How about Zonealarm + Avast?

avast is timed trial

so is sysgate

panda is ok

get the following, all are free for a safe surfing experience,

install in SAFE mode with networking ( hit F-8 at boot time ), run them all in SAFE mode

with networking as you'll need it for the updates all the programs below will need.

Turn off RESTORE and the RECYLE BIN temporarily as virii can regenerate / reinfect even if you delete

them with both services on. After all the scanning and cleaning after a 2nd reboot and one last

scan do you turn both of them back on.
