AntiVirus questions again

squirell nutkin · 06-09-2010, 09:07 AM

Homesquirell's BloatBarge, I mean laptop arrived and I am in the process of removing everything and reinstalling only what she needs.

I was going to put AVG Free on it and spybot, but I think all the pop-up dialogue boxes asking about permissions will just throw her. Would Malwarebytes be redundant?

What security would you recommend?

Norton 360 _It quietly takes care of everything.

Kaspersky _ not free anymore. It was very good.

Windows defender. I know that ones probably lame to some but I liked it. Norton doesn't though.

Which anti-virus is the BEST?

What works? What doesn't?

Clodfobble · 11-13-2010, 10:13 PM

I hear Valtrex is pretty good.

I would install SpyBot with the TeaTimer resident... It will take care of most problems.

My antivirus choice would be Bit Defender.

Thanks Gunmaster, I have free Norton via my cable co. I keep thinking there is something, better. MORE! I will look into the spy bot. I like the TeaTimer function. I have been using noscript and it seems to work well.

The only time I'm even aware of AVG is when it's telling me sumpin's wrong.

GunMaster357 · 11-16-2010, 08:27 AM

Same with BitDefender...

It reminds me it's there when there's a problem.
