A what works best for you thread...

I decided to start this due to the fact people always ask what is the best AV, and the answer is what works best for you. So I figured why not start a thread with what you use, what platform, and what the hardware specs are. That way when someone wants to know what AV will work with a win98 pII550 with 32mb of ram they might be able to get a good list to start with, without having to ask the same questions over and over.

Zonealarm Security Suite + NOD32 works well on my winxp pro SP2 computer
all drivers updated

people say NOD32+Kaspersky works fine but I havent tried it
I tried NOD32+Kaspersky+ZASS=hangs at startup. maybe it is due to kaspersky+ZASS not being compatible. anyone have a simliar setup?

 

i use NOD32 + Avast + Outpost on both my WinXP Pro SP2 computers. 1) Athlon XP 2000, 512MB ram 2) Athlon 64 3200, 512mb ram.

 

Avast home edition, Sygate, AMD 2400, 512 MB, XP SP2

 

I use NOD32 on a custom built machine running WIn2k. It has an AMD 3200+ and 1028 MB of PC3200 RAM and a 40 gig 7200 rpm Hitachi which has nothing but the OS installed on it. It has 2 120 gig WD 7200 RPM drives as well - one for applications and one for data storage. Nod has never had any problem whatsoever on this machine but has only been run on it for 2-3 years. The first year or so that I used NOD32 the RAM was 1028 MB of PC2100 and the CPU was an ADM 2000+ - the 2 120 gig drivers were also the only drives installed and were striped.

Thanks,

Leaning toward AVK at present as it scans IMAP email and much of my mail is via IMAP and I like the feeling of security this gives me.

I'd say that ArcaVir works best on my rig

For me best combination so far.....I've tried the lot, but Dr.Web is the one for me!

Well, sometimes I can and sometimes I cant (Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are classic examples)

 

would a GeForce 6600GT PCI-E beat it? cuz thats wut i have on my Athlon 64 rig

 

No, most of the time the 6600GT is on par with it and sometimes it beats it thouroughly
