im using avastar anti-virus for my pc.. but it not detecting all the viruses.. when i check the virus manually.. then only its giving alert. so avastar is a good anti-virus.. if not can anyone tel me the very good anti-virus,which SHOULD NOT slow down the pc..

kaspersky & nod32 are considered the best among majority of users.keep away from mcafee products.norton too have improved their products over time but their 2006 or before products are bad.

AVG is quite good too!!

xwhyz · 02-26-08, 10:46 PM

I guess you are talking about Avast! Not Avastar or is there really an antivirus in the name of Avastar?!

By the way, i use Avast antivirus and this is the most lightest of the antivirus i have found and used ever. This is far better than the heavy avg antivirus.

Avast is a good antivirus.As per your requirements it is light on resources and it can detect viruses automatically you do not require to check manually everytime.Don't forget to update.You also have to install a firewall.Don't mind but stay away from any tempting sites

,. Also do not frequent warez.

vidyut · 02-26-08, 11:55 PM

NOD32 and Kaspersky are indeed one of the best available but you should always check periodically Virus Bulletin to see which ones are performing better. For better protection i would advice you to use DefenseWall HIPS along with your Antivirus+Firewall combination

I use NOD32 + Look 'n' Stop firewall(with Phant0m Ruleset)

start comp in safe mode by pressing F8 during startup,then work in safe mode and run anti virus,it will remove virus and containing files.but most important is to keep anti virus updated.

go to this site.one of the best sites for AV reviews----
AV-Comparatives
click on "comparitives" in left & then in right click on Retrospective/ProActive Test November 2007 online results(clicking report will open a pdf file).

only kaspersky & nod32 obtained the advanced+ certification.

Hello dude.. even we are discussing about movies,hardware... etc.. if u have eyes u can see those forums...

gardencityboy · 04-02-08, 06:46 PM

I use Trend Micro Antivirus
i think it is good in detecting virus and light on memory so that you can use the memory for some other purpose

i feel Norton is also good but too heavy on memory and processor

TrinadhM · 04-03-08, 05:42 AM

How about quck heal can any body tell me how it works?

jz70 · 04-06-08, 08:41 PM

Nod 32 is best

Yes I agree totally. They have a free home edition too.

sivasuper · 04-09-08, 10:46 PM

Eset smart security(nod32) is the best...

ranjitraut · 04-09-08, 11:15 PM

AVG is good... But I personally feel kaspersky is best... Tata Indiccom is giving 6 months subscription for Kaspersky AV 7 for Just Rs 30-00...

Tata Indicom internet service provider in India. Total Internet India

hello everybody
let me tell you something .....most of the people are saying that AVG is good,nod32 is good etc . but the main fact is none of the antiviruses is able to remove the nooh worm which disables task manager and some other dangerous worms and trojans my pc is infected with the nooh worm, i have tried most of the antivirus but none of them detected the nooh worm then somebody told me that norton is able to......and it really worked it cleaned some hundreds of threats now i am safe and secure ....now i trust norton antivirus 2007 or norton internet security 2007 so i suggest that nothing is best than norton in terms of healing and detecting viruses!
