Nice and quiet here, but for how long

 

avast! 0wnZ y00 all Just kidding Its abnormally quiet yes Lets wait for a while...

 

That's the silence before the storm

 

Why isn't Panda listed? I hate having to vote "other". RAV, which is not even around anymore, techinically speaking, is even on the list. I know there are Panda users out there.

Panda users unite! Get Panda on the ballot.

Maybe it's the "cult" thing.

 

I used BitDefender Standard before I got update problems for over two weeks. I really like it, but was forced to change due to these problems.
One email account receives regularly virusses, so that was my main reason to change.
On recommendation of a friend I tried Kaspersky Personal 5.0 and I'm very pleased with it. After the trial period I bought it immediately.

 

F-Prot

 

I,and I think most people,would be very suprised if Nod doesn't come out top in this poll:-after all this is the Nod forum!

 

I guess there are only two of us, At least here. C'mon Panda users unite.

 

Sorry for Panda!!!

 

I can't believe this post has gone this long without "IGNITING", but then nobody has said anything negative about NOD, I guess that's the reason.

 

AVG 6.0 Free Edition

 

Maybe some will come out of the woodwork as the day goes on.

 

Grisoft AVG..........A lovely comfy upholstered Computer chair for 'backup' and large mugs of good English tea on 'demand' from my Darling Wifey.....How much more protected could one be...... ........I thought it would be best not to get too serious on this subject..



Cochise,

 

KAV 4.5 - resident (I like the control; seems more stable than KAV 5)
BitDefender Free - on demand (did have NOD32, but NOD32 started freezing my computer up for some reason.)

 

Use Panda Titanium 2004 for a while already and I find it just a great, simple, fast scanner. No problems, finds malware, scans mail etc......just top for me.

I think most people underrate Panda and that's too bad, really.

I tried to d/l Panda some time back but it wanted me to dump AVG first....so I gave it some thought for about ten seconds and said "Nah".....


Cochise,

 

And you stuck to AVG.......man oh man......that's making choices? Believe me, you're far better of with Panda!

 

You know me!.....At my age, you've just gotta live on the edge........



Cochise, (My Mother was a 'Wall-of-Death Motor-cycle Rider right up to my Birth....so what could you expect..... )


Cochise,

Currently AVG, but I am planning to purchase either NOD32 or KAV.

 

One of the things i like about NAV is once you purchase it, it is usually only about $10. for the upgrade at either Best Buy or CompUSA. Not a bad deal for one of the top anti-viruses. And you don't have to risk using your credit card online, you just walk into a store, where it could also easily be returned if there were any problems. I know not everyone likes it, but it is a good solid anti-virus, no matter what they may say.

I wouldn't ever rely on AVG (free) as my only AV, unless you stick with only safe sites, but going to riskier sites may land you in some very hot water. So all you porn surfers, stay away from AVG! AVG is not so good at detecting the lesser know viruses, that's really about the only problem with it. Porn sites, and the like, are where your often likely to find the lesser known viruses.

I would say AVG is great as a backup for one of the big guns. But if AVG is your only choice (you just can't afford a top of the line AV) then i would have a backup AV to run along with it, such as Antivir, Avast!, Bitdefender, ect.. as a on-demand scanner only, of course.

 

...............and from a tiny spark.......................doth a forest fire springs.......... nope..... oh well....... he tried.... LOL..

Go Panda, Go Panda, Go Panda...... sounds like a Ricki Lake chant.. or maybe a UK Police Car about to give chase to those virri villians.

That explains the lack of oxygen to the brain mate.. umbillical cord wrapped around too tightly on those 'curves', LOL....

I've never tried Panda. It's supposed to have a very good Online Scanner along with Housecall/Symantec, etc.
