Prefered anti-virus tool?
 
Which anti-virus tool do you think is best?

mods: if you think there's a program really missing here, feel free to add it to the list

I use F-Prot antivirus - it's sort of magic.

beanboy89 21st December 2005 20:23

AVG: I use it on my other computer becuase it's free. I use Norton on this one because it came preinstalled.

c2R 21st December 2005 20:28

I did use AVG for years, and it served me well... but then they decided they didn't feel like supporting Server OSes on the free or the personal license anymore... )o:

Guest232 21st December 2005 20:39

None, I don't catch virusses. Sometimes, almost never, I do an entire system scan and it always returns nothing.

Edit: I would still have voted fuck you bizz anyway ;)

My favorite anti-virus

drewbar 21st December 2005 20:41

McAfee Enterprise came free in college, so I still use that.

Yep, seems you just took an anti-rofls pill.

shakey_snake 21st December 2005 21:44

Mattress 21st December 2005 22:02

I can't ignore a fellow wisconsinite!

(except for Feingold, that douche)

ElChevelle 21st December 2005 22:49

I do Pandas now that AVG got greedy.

Yes, but there is no cure/antidote for ROFLS:p


I voted AVG free :P

gaekwad2 21st December 2005 23:45

sure?

skryingbreath 21st December 2005 23:52

Bwuhaha. I wonder what would happen if i ignored myself.

Althuogh, this is the only solution

Fuck you Bizz :D


Oh, and avast! Home Edition is my AV flavor.

*cough*symantec corp...*cough*

Rocker 22nd December 2005 04:18

i use avast because f-prot doesn't work with windows x64 properly.

.onInit 22nd December 2005 05:13

Kaspersky AV Personal Pro.

Hey! That's my line. ;)

Panda is the best. But I don't use one.

randman 22nd December 2005 15:32

Avast and only Avast. I've tried all the others and they don't cut it.

Mattress 22nd December 2005 16:27

I don't use any. I used to but I never got any viruses so it wasn't worth the money/time.

deeder7001 23rd December 2005 00:37

i don't use anything either. i just make sure my windows firewall is still running and i never get anything.

psyfive 23rd December 2005 00:45

I don't have the intraweb at home anymore so I don't bother with antivirus. I think my friend is using Norton on this computer and norton on the other one.

I don't know what they use on the work computers.

ASD5A 23rd December 2005 06:32

i am using antivir

Firewall != antivirus

k_rock923 23rd December 2005 14:35

he meant if you follow safe surfing habits, you're extremely unlikely to get anything.

my antivirus tool - safe surfing habits + windows executables don't run on *nix anyway.

Evil Lu 23rd December 2005 14:42

I don't use one. :D

sgtfuzzbubble011 23rd December 2005 23:38

That's like unprotected sex. It's great until you catch something. :P

Even more risky when you're the Forum Mattress. ;)

Evil Lu 24th December 2005 07:38

Maitresse not a mattress.. doh. I don't use anti-virus because I don't need to. I don't do anything which compromises my internet safety. Ever. I am extremely experienced in internet security but wouldn't suggest lesser experienced folk run Windows without AVG at least.

No! Really? Well tie me up and tickle me with feathers and leather! You mean a mistress of the dominatrix variety? Oh my God, I can't believe I missed that! I just turned fifty and I'm learning new things every day! :rolleyes: :blah:

Evil Lu 24th December 2005 14:43

pfffffft. :D

Phyltre 24th December 2005 15:29

In side-by-side comparisons, Norton and McAfee tend to equally be crap.
