How many anti virus have you tried out before choosing

I have tried 12 antivirus and the only ones I like Nod32 2.7 / F-prot / Bitdefnder/ avast Free / and F-secure.I wish I only found one I liked it would have been easier to decide.I am currently using nod32 2.7 and bitdefender on other pc My favorite was Avast but I just do not Feel that secure with it.But the updating Was fantastic.

 

i've tried symantec,mcafee,trend micro,AVG,Avast,Bit defender,F-prot,NOd32,Kaspersky and finally decided to take Kaspersky & NOD32

 

Tried many and my ultimate decision was the RELATIONSHIP factor. Relation = Trust

 

tried pretty much most of them, however.....

as soon as i tried drweb, i purchased a 3yr.

it wasnt really a hard decision, just a few days on trial.

 

I only tried Norton, McAfee, and the ZA suite before discovering NOD32.

I sometimes trial different AV but I usually end up coming back to NOD32

 

I tried

Norton
McaFee
Bitdefender
AVG
Kaspersky
NOD32
Avira
Trendmicro

now I have installed ESS on my desktop and KIS on my laptop.

 

Norton
McAfee
Kaspersky
BullGuard
OneCare
Avira
EZ eTrust
Bitdefender
NOD32
Dr.Web
Blink
AVG
Panda
F-Prot
F-Secure
GData
Avast
Trend Micro

I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. Settled on Bitdefender IS 2008....Hopefully no more changes for a long while.

EDIT........Just remembered a few more.

 

norton (~1.5yr)
avg (~1yr.)
mcafee (~3mos)
pccillin (~3yrs)
nod32 (20days)
kaspersky (7mos. and counting....)

 

I don't even want to guess how many different versions I've tried. At one time, I never had less than 3 AVs installed. These included AntiVir, AVG, BitDefender, Avast, Norton, F-Prot, Mcafee, Clam Win, and probably others I can't think of right now. Can't remember if I tried NOD32 or if it didn't work on my system back then.

In the end, I chose not to use an AV, a decision I don't regret and doubt I ever will.

Tried out most, Nod, KAV, Dr. Web, BD, Norton and I settled for Avira and Avast.

 

I have tried 3 anti-viruses: Norton,Panda and BitDefender. I still have BitDefender installed on 2 computers and that already 2 years.

 

I tried the following products:

Norton (~2 years)
McAfee (~1 year)
PC-cillin (~1 year)
eScan (~1.5 years)
Kaspersky (~3 days )
BitDefender (~1.5 years)
VirusChaser (~2 months)
Dr.Web (~2 months)
AVG Anti-Malware/Internet Security (~1 year)
F-Secure (current, and loving it )

 

Tried everything.......

No. 1 choice: was .......Nod32 (waiting for the proper release v. 3.0)
No. 2 Dr. Web running now .........just great!
No. 3 Avg Pro, very light and well established product.
N0. 4 Norton AV 2008, feels very good, but expensive.

 

I've tried pretty much everything, and still can't find something I'm completely satisfied with. Right now I'm running Avira Premium Security.

 

In recent weeks I have used trial versions of several security suites rather than AV programs. IIRC, it was the following list:

Kaspersky 7
Norton IS 2008
BitDefender 2008
OneCare 2.0
[EDIT] Oh yeah, Panda too.

and in the past I had also used Zone Alarm firewall with some sort of standalone virus checker but I'm drawing a blank on which one. [EDIT] It was F-Prot. I've also mess about with some behavior checkers (TF, Prevx, etc.) and I use Sandboxie.

I ended up with Norton Internet Suite 2008 which at the beginning was the presumptive choice because I knew it was reliable and ran quietly on my machines. Mostly I had hoped to find something cheaper that worked as quietly and as well. In the end I just coughed up the $60/year because each of the others had some minor nitpicky issue that made it less desirable.

 

Tried:
AVG
Norton
Bit Defender
Avast Home
Avira Premium
Nod 32
F-Secure
F-Prot
Kaspersky

over a 20+yr period settled on Symantec Endpoint (for now).

forgot Dr. Solomon, and Reliable Anti Virus!

 

Have tried TONS. Have licenses for LOTS.
Settled, for the moment, with SEP 11 on my laptop, and ESS on my desktop

 

If this is in rankings, it is just so not true!
