best AntiVirus?

[nis]

Umm what do you call this then?

Just because your NOT running windows doesn't mean that you are 100% safe. Running linux you still need to worry about your box being compromised.

I'll Have a go then.

My anti-virus is called OS X. No Windows = No Viruses

Hmm... An application in disguise. You have to double click it, twice, to make it do anything. Is that a virus?

Oh, and sorry for hijacking the thread

Wow - I actually repled to this thread and got a mesage that before the message would be posted a moderator would have to approve, and it still hasn't been posted. This forum is rather gay.

If you use Comcast as your cable provider you can download McAfee for free

SECURITY - MCAFEE SECURITY MANAGER - Comcast.net

I had that happen to me too. I found out that I had to stop touching myself at night. I was able to post once I made that change.

As far as the topic....

I had AVG for the longest time. Yesterday I got a nasty Trojan that kept disabling my computer. I tried everything, and AVG still said there wasn't a problem. I switched to avast, so far so good.

you hate Comcast users don't you. Using McAfee is like telling a blind and deaf homeless guy to watch your Fararri, it's useless.

Definition from wikipedia:

A computer vrius is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user.

I've used them all, and they all miss something or other that the other one picked up, and vice versa. I was using ZoneAlarm for it's AV and Firewall for years, then I decided to buy it because I liked it so much, now I hate it. It fucked things up for me for days. Screw them! I just use a damn good firewall now and run "Hijackthis" every week to pick up whatever crap my Windows AV may have missed, no problems anymore.

Anyone use ClamWin? It's opensource...

If I had to use a free scanner it would be ClamWin. My only gripes are that there's no automatic background scanning like with most other products. The scanning engine is also a bit on the sluggish side if you're doing a large scan.

I have to agree with nis: a MAC!

Apple released a security upgrade the very day someone managed to hack a Safari browser at the conference.

Never had issues with AVG...I guess I'll have to check the NOD32 thingy, though...

My AVG Free makes me feel safe
