Microsoft Security Essentials

 

Avast real-time and Comodo AV on-demand

Family computers use Shaw Secure (rebranded F-Secure Internet Security) and MSE.

That's about it, if you don't count the cloud engines in HitmanPro and VirusTotal.

 

MSE for the foreseeable future.

 

Panda Cloud PRO with no plans on changing

 

Avast Free Edition, previously used Avira AntiVir Free on my other system but the false positives got out of control.
I did try Panda Cloud Free for awhile but it also had too many false positives more than Avira did.
However Panda Cloud has good potential for the future.
Also tried MSE on both of my systems and it did very well except for extremely slow scanning.
If Microsoft could fix that issue than it would be competitor to Avast.

Now I used Avast Free on both of my systems.
Doesn't slow down my systems, hardly ever get false positives and I never get infections.

Thanks.

 

I'm running Panda Cloud Pro. So far without any issues. Not one false positive yet.

It's detection on the latest malware from "Malware Domain List" is very impressive. Not perfect of course but very strong. A lot of detections from the "Cloud Intelligence".

I'm looking forward to it's future.

 

Latest version of MSE is supposed to scan faster. At least that's what I read in another thread here. Also I wonder if a distinction should have been made between Panda and Panda Cloud or do they not sell a traditional stand alone anymore?

 

Emsisoft Anti Malware, Panda!
Killer combination!

 

No Resident AV.

Only On-Demand Scans with
MBAM, SAS, Emsisoft AM, Hitman Pro, F-Secure Easy Clean etc.

 

Avira.

 

Avira Premium Security Suite and PrevX 3.0 free!

 

I am running Panda Cloud, Emsisoft 5 (Main System) , KIS 2011 (2nd System) ...

 

Emsisoft Anti Malware on one laptop and nod32 on another and when I'm in the mood I switch to f.secure av

 

Prevx with SafeOnline

TH

 

avast! Free is working well for me on my computers.
I see no reason to change.

 

Prevx with Safeonline although if i didnt have a license id be with Panda Cloud av Pro but still a very happy and secure user right now.

 

Microsoft Security Essentials

 

Prevx (paid) + MSE

 

I know some people get Avira confused with Avast!

 

ESS 4 , for me and my family, nothing more nothing less.....Ess 4 is set to maximum setting on all laptops . Life is too short to any other Av programs

Best Regards to all

 

On my main system Online Armor++.
On the others: Avira, BitDefender, F-Secure, G Data, Emsisoft.

 

Avast Free again after a brief flirt with MSE and a laughable experience with Panda Cloud Free...come now, an OS system file being flagged as a directory deleting trojan? Right. Among other issues I had with it.

 

Norton for me. Not necessarily my favourite AV, but as a suite in NIS2010 I find it's not let anything through on my machine since using it. Very impressive. If I get bored with NIS I'll definitely use MSE.

 

my sig for performance. My favorite suite for stability and performance nis 2010, also like mse. Everything i used to love has turned into bloated junk that's slightly better than having a full virus infection.
