Which one of these are better anti-virus?

[henryjl]

Hi,

I was just wondering which is better:
AVG Professional
Avast! Professional
Or Zonealarm Internet Security suite 6.0?

By the way does Avast or AVG have a firewall?
If you choose AVG or Avast! then I will have to purchase a
seperate firewall [Zonealarm pro] :ouch: doesn't matter :thumb:

Thanks,

Henry.

Of the three mentioned and as far as anti-virus abilities go, Avast! Pro is what I would choose.

AVG has a version that is a combo anti-virus and firewall. Avast! does not.

Before spending your money, may I suggest spending a little time reading the anti-virus and firewall forums to see what is working (and not) for other folks. You may find yourself looking at many more programs than those mentioned here.

Avast IMO.

[beetlejuice69]

If you`re only considering those three AV`s, then I`d go with Advast also.

[Sputnik]

Out of this three, avast! without doubt.

[Firecat]

I also give my vote to Avast! :)

[WSFuser]

avast would be my choice. also why do u say ull need to purchase Za pro; why not just use teh free one?

Hi Erik ;)

I NEVER understood the "necessity" of skins for a SECURITY App. LOL.

It's not like I'm looking at it more than a few mins. duh. ;D ;D ;D


But....some ppl like it. Oh well. :)

[hollywoodpc]

HEYYYY . What is Nat doing up here ? AGAIN !!!!!! Glad you came to join us though

[wildman]

;D A very generous benefactor has just made it possible for me to use AVAST Pro. I will leave it to these comments and none more, in fear I may once again start a near riot.

Thanks
Wildman

Well...sad as it is...but noone is really talking to me in the 'basement' right now...Sooo...;D

[hollywoodpc]

Wildman .
It would be interesting if you came and gave your thoughts on how you like it . Or not .

[ErikAlbert]

I concur ;D
What happened to KAV, GOD32, NOD32 and mcAfee ? Too bad or too expensive ? :)

[hollywoodpc]

These were NOT part of the question . You are now talking a different league . Almost . And I like the GOD32 . lol .

[rdsu]

Of course that these are better, but that wasn't the question, so...

[ErikAlbert]

OK! OK! OK! Consider it as a hint for Henryjl's weird question.

Could you please elaborate ?

LOL.

;D Thus far I am finding it rather easy to use. I have read through quite a few of the threads on this product, and a vast number report it to be very good. A good many of the individuals who post here at Wilders, I respect and value their input, one of the reason I think this forum is perhaps the best one on the WEB. I had use the free version once before, but apparently had it set to the paranoid level which slowed my machine to a crawl so I deleted it, this time however I found the standard setting and have had no such problem. Remember however that it has only been today that I downloaded and installed the Pro version.

Thanks
Wildman

[hollywoodpc]

Good luck Wild guy . I am interested to know what you think as time goes by .

[sweater]

Avast is great, it has many jaw dropping features not available on others. ;)

I uses the home edition...8) and supports were also fast. ;D

[wildman]

:) Man talk about a fast download of the VDF files, took 42 seconds, and I am on dial-up, can you imagine what it would have been on DSL or high speed cable? Thus far I am really liking this one.

Thanks
Wildman
