Anti-Virus Poll - 2008 (Jan - Jun)

You can select multiple items.

Why Jan - Jun? Since we can only vote once, can't change our selections, and we often change security software during the year, I thought it appropriate to do two polls, one through June and one through the end of the year.

Here are the top five AVs from the 2007 poll (number of votes after the hyphen).

1. NOD32 - 208
2. Avira/Antivir - 110
3. Kaspersky - 97
4. Avast - 57
5. AVG - 45

 

Im currently trialing Dr.Web. Like you said though, I might change later.

 

Currently own a licence for Antivir which will end in a couple of months. Right now I am trialing Avast free as I don't feel the need for a paid AV with my actual Security

 

None here. So far no regrets.

 

Is prevx really an AV? I thought it was more of a smart behavior blocker.

 

At the moment i am using Avira because i wasnt very happy with NOD 2.7 or 3!

 

Using ESS on Vista and KIS 7.0 on my XP.
Both are running

 

Avira here... I am using for 8 months and I'm planning not to change it soon.
Great antivirus with good detection rates and low system impact.

 

AVG (+ firewall) on spouse's laptop, NOD32 v2.7 on Vista x64, Antivir on XP Pro x86.

 

Switched from NOD to Avira and i am very happy

 

I voted for NoD32 (v2). I've been there, tried this, and that, and nothing feels as snug as 'old RedEye', (2.7).

 

Scrapped NOD, new version is horrible. AntiVir is working great so I'm using that.

 

New version of NOD32 works perferct for me.
I didn't know Antivir was so popular.
Is it the free version or the paid version that is popular?

 

No Anti Virus.

Running:
ProSecurity
SandboxIE
Outpost Pro 4
Firefox w/ various extensions

Have never been more secure!

 

Of course any free version will be more popular than a paid version - it's free.

 

I am using the paid version of Antivir.

 

Took advantage of the free 6 month trial of Avira AntiVir Premium and glad I did.
So far very happy with it.

 

I've been using avira thanks to the previous 6 month license give away and now I renewed my license with the new 6 month license give away

 

I use AVG 7.5 and Firewall and Prevx.

Both coming up for renewal, I shall be sticking with AVG, not sure on Prevx yet.

 

I was a McAfee user for several years and just got tired of spending the money that they raked in when free protection was available. I now have AVG on all my computers (6; 5 XP and 1 Vista). I tried Avast and had some issues with it and just could not get it configured to work as smoothly as AVG.

 

Can I change my choice...6 months is still too long

Recently switched to AVG Anti-Malware.

 

Avira paid cleaned up what nod left.

 

Nod32.

I've not used any other AV, and honestly need something that will clean up the most nasties with the least false positives. Made a fun chart with AV-Comparatives data, and made my decision from there.

 

Norton here. But I'm considering Avira Premium free for 6 moths, just to try it out. But I'm very pleased with Norton.

 

I had NOD32 but switched to Avira Premium for the free 6 months.
