I'm looking at nod32 and kaspersky i hear they are both good.

I would sue a complete internet security program but they seem to bloated, I know how to browse safetly and if i don't my antivirus will tell me anyway, no?

Ive been using AVAST for years and its kept all of my machines clean. Best part is its free. AVG is also one to look at. But I go with what works for me.

Eset Nod32 is the best as far as I'm concerned. I'm running it on 7 machines.

AHHH They are all arguing between nod32 and kaspersky!!

I must have good instincts =P

[smeegle]

In the old days, about three months ago, we used to argue about which is best---AVG or AVAST.

Avg8 and Malwarebytes protect me
The money i save is invested in a huge box chocolates

Download some trials and see what you like

I've used NOD32 for nearly five years now and have been very happy with it. Take the 30 day trial and, if you like it, buy a two year licence (I'm on my second one).

The free programs may do an adequate job, but I'm being protected for the equivalent of about £15 per year, which is less than I pay for newspapers every month!

NOD32 hands down. I have used Kaspersky, which is excellent, but NOD32 is the best IMO. I've been using it for at least 5-6 years. I too just bought a two year license.

avast is the best it comes with more options than any other, and is free- it has boot time scan, get it and you wont be dissapointed

"I would sue a complete internet security program"

I wouldn't.

Paid: NOD32
Free: Avira AntiVir

AntiVir has great support, the smallest memory footprint after NOD32, and the best definitions. Google to find out how to disable the ads, if you're going to use the free version.

Kaspersky has nice definitions, but it is more of a memory hog than NOD32, which also has great definitions.

does just using an antivirus leave you open to attacks? i mean ive got an spi/nat router but i dust don't see what would make the internet securit suite better. i guess it just adds another firewall.

ive been using nod for a week or two now and i like it. it updates by itself, and i dont detect any performance losses whatsoever. i just hope the antivirus alone is good enough.

You're never completely protected. The best you can do is have a good antivirus, firewall, HIPS, browser, and keep your computer up to date. The only way you can really be safe from 99% of malware is to use Linux.

Free is ok if you are genuiniely impoverished, but if you have the $ then you should be ashamed as there is no comparison really.... the best IMHO is NOd32.
