Ok. How many antivirus products have you tried in the past year? This would include security suites as well. And it would include those you even tried for a day (or less).
Most programs posted here I'm pretty sure they're more than 7 (I'm counting everything security related)
None, as I would only start testing if I wanted to change my current one. I know for some people it is a hobby, why not. Actually, on second thought I did test MSE out of curiosity and was positively impressed.
I had one and wasn't satisfied and took another one and am satisfied. Technically I tried one, but answered 2. When I'm satisfied with an AV, I stick with it and don't try others. Goes for all software now I come to think of it.
MSE, Kaspersky, Eset, Avast, Norton, Mcafee, Avira, VBA32,F-Secure, Bitdefender,Panda, eScan, G-Data,Norman,Dr.Web,F-Prot. That is all.
I guess the answer to # TRIED is 1. To me tried means I've had a 30 day trial with a view to using on a permanent basis. I tried Avira Premium as set it aside it was unhappy in my setup tagging installers as critical malware.
I mainly rely on Prevx, but I've tried it alongside AntiVir, MSE, NOD32, and Panda Cloud Antivirus, just to see how they run together.
ive tested MSE, Vipre, Dr.Web, GDATA, Avira, Avast, and A-Squared (all i can remember atm) and landed on Avast in the end for now.
None. I don't use AVs on my own PCs. The one exception is an OS that has AVZ and several other servicing tools installed. When I get a PC that's compromised to the point that AVs and other tools won't run, I put its hard drive in this unit as a slave and clean it from there. Other than that servicing unit, I have no need for an AV.
None on any of my so called production systems, but I've played with a few, including MSE on test systems to see what they're up to. But, I voted no, since I haven't tried any AV products for the purpose of actually starting to use them myself.
I lost count in April. I try pretty much anything that peaks my interest; stand-alone AVs as well as security suites. The same is pretty much true for DVD backup software, browsers, and applications for antispyware, HIPS, backup & restore , cleaners, and miscellaneous stuff such as AxCrypt, Keyscrambler, plus virtualization and pseudo-virtualization software such as sandboxie, Returnil, Microsofts' Steady State, Virtualbox, Comodo Time Machine, plus much more. -Plus a few Linux distros. I'm getting ready to try Mint later today.
I am always trying out different antivirus/antimalware apps. Mostly just out of curiosity. Prevx and Defenswall are pretty well constants in my setup tho.
