does someone know of a good web site I could go to to look for a new AV product?

OK --
I do not like the direction V3 is going. I have reverted to 2.7. I suspect, at some point, support for 2.7 will no longer be available. With that in mind does someone know of a good web site I could go to to look for a new AV product? I've tried Norton and was underwhelmed. Thanks.

 

best way, and ONLY way is to try all the trials, go to their websites and download them and try them individually.

what kind of features/performance are you looking for?

any special requests such as gui, etc?

 

With all due respect, your question doesnt make sense. You are already there. The site, and the correct forum. "other anti-virus software" I mean all you need to do is start browsing the threads and you will find answrs to everything you may want. Sorry if I misunderstood you to. ~removed off topic comment....Bubba~

 

And by the time you finally get through all the AV and Suite trials NOD will be back on its feet.

 

I would just stick with 2.7 honestly. It is great and will be available for quite awhile.At least until Eset is confident with 3.0. Well that, and their customers.

 

well, it looks like your mind has already been made up.

 

I would go to AV-Comparatives to narrow the field then trial, trial, trial.

 

Has v2.7 suddenly become "bad"?you were happy with it before and its still just as good as it was!Why change from that?its not an unsupported product

 

I set out on this very road myself but before long came scampering back to the familiarity and comfort of 2.7

 

, stick to what you know then

 

you do not say what your OS is nor whether you wish for a freebie or a paid for av program,and which av program ARE you currently running?

 

Simply go HERE, view the comparison, & make your choice. You cannot go wrong.

Never mind the A vs B vs C ad nauseum.

But Why-ah- Go to Avira,

When we all know

AVG is the way to GO

Nice and light

So you dont take fright

But a good stopper

Of any virus whopper

I agree with the trial trial trial!! IMO, that's your best bet.


Some I think you should look into (trial):

free:
Avast - Overall great detections and performance
Antivir - Awesome detections, lacks web scanning & nagging screen
Avg - Ok detection, very light

paid:
Kaspersky - awesome detections, slowed down my internet (web scanning)
NOD32 - light, great heuristics Ok detections, still buggy (beta version)
Bitdefender - light, great detections, ugly interface and lacks customized install


Those are based on my experiences to date. Hope it helps

 

Once you decide which you want and are then ready to lay down the cabbage, try to find a free after rebate deal- should you decide to go with a paid av. A few sites to check out are below-
