i've been using AVG Free for ages, but it's becoming increasingly shit and obnoxious. just recently, it decided part of Left 4 Dead 2 was a virus, and now i'm missing out on the beginning of our weekly zombie slaying session as it re-installs. can anyone recommend a better antiviral? at this point i'm willing to pay for it, as long as it's not shit, but free is always nice. thx. |

i'm using eset for quite some time now and i'm pretty happy with it. it also doesn't delete cracks and keygens by itself like avg did. |

while i certainly have cracks and keygens, i actually paid for L4D2 in full. i just installed an SSD and this is pretty much a clean install.... AVG was definitely full of it on this one, even more than it is usually. |

avg went down the plughole a couple of yrs ago. use avast now, its not half as processor intensive. |

Im using avg and never had problems |

betamax, i agree. i just stuck with AVG out of laziness. it's gotten increasingly larded down with flashy crap i don't want (i didn't even install "identity protection"). i've heard good things about avast; i'll give it a shot. thanks ! |

MSE is better |

it's always a game with microsoft's shit. on the one hand, they wrote the os. on the other hand, they wrote the os. |
||||||||
|

never used MSE, but avast! is solid. "VIRUS DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED" |
||||||||
|
|

I've always trusted Eset. Solid product. |

i dunno how good a virus program works. it never told me i got a virus so how did i know? |

I second Microsoft Security Essentials - changed to it when it came out, and never looked back at those bloated freeware ones |

tried avast. installer is >100mb, not a good start. it has a talking voice alert just like an upgraded 1980s station wagon; shut that off. also said "don't show in the tray" but apparently it interpreted that as "don't show anything." all was good for a couple weeks, until i tried to use a program it didn't like. avast said nothing; simply stopped it from working. i've installed MSE, which is currently attempting to update, but stalling |

more on avast: i can't get any sort of log history out of it except stupid bar graphs that tell me nothing. what did you kybosh, and when? not very complicated |

stop lookin at mucky porn and gettin viruses end of. |

yeah, sure, give up porn and live without an antiviral all well and good until your buddy plugs in a compromised USB key to copy over his latest track to your PC |
||||||||

|
what exactly do you want from a free AV? avast IS superior to AVG and has been for about 3 yrs. ALL guys look at porn, why do YOU have problems? |
