Whats the Best Antivirus/ Security Suite??

[william gunkel]

i use avast internet security which has the antivirus, antispyware, antispam, and firewall in one suite. I also use ccleaner and defraggler for my registry and file cleaning

MalwareBytes would be a good addition to your system.
Malwarebytes

As I have stated before I use AVG Internet Security with all of the above and have now added MalwareBytes. Ran the quick scan, the system is clean. Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend Having more than 2 Anti-virus on your Computer because your computer will Freeze

Thank you I have removed MalwareBytes from my computer. I now realized you were talking about avast and AVG. I have added Malware back as I understand it is anti malware not anti virus. Again thank you.

Yes if I were to remove any it would be the AVG as it is not as good as it was.


You can have more than one, just not running at the same time.

I'd use Avast over AVG.

I would also Advise using Microsoft Security Essentials

What to do?? Here is where I am at present. I am running AVG Internet Security (paid version) that I just renewed for two more years. I am all so using the following in my toolbox. Windows Defender, CCleaner, Defagger, Recuva and Tune-Up Utilities. Can I add MalwareBytes and Microsoft Security Essentials? Is this going to cause a conflict with AVG or will everybody "Just get Along". I also get the once a month Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Thank You.

First of all Malwarebyts is a Anti-Malware Program and will work fine and Security essentials is a Anti-Virus and will take over Windows Defender so this will be alright but I wouldn't reccomend putting any more Programs on the computer because it will start to slow down your computer

Hope This Helps,

In order to use MSE i would have to delete the AVG Internet Security as they both are anti-virus is this correct? However I can add MalwareBytes and use it along with AVG Internet Security and there should be no conflict correct? I am asking because I don't want a problem after installation. Thank You.

Any installation of more than one anti-virus program is going to cause some conflict.

Correct.

I'm surprised nobody here mentioned avast free version 5.0.594. very user friendly interface. This is a great security program to have.

I agree.

 

[ilikefree]

It was talked about in earlier posts. I found it hard to remove again.
Avira I found was better.
I use ESet Nod 32 as my main protection
Not free but works how I like it and in the end it's what you are happy with that matters.
Microsoft Security Essentials is the top scoring FREE anti-Virus at the moment.
This changes as companies upgrade their programs.
Avast and Avira both score highly in tests.

Free Options:
1st Choice- Microsoft Essentials w/ Malwarebytes
2nd Choice- Avast Free Edition w/ Malwarebytes

Paid Option:
1st and only Choice- ESET - Antivirus Software with Spyware and Malware Protection

For either options a must have is Macrium Reflect Free Edition for Imaging and Backups!

I also use Avast! Internet Security anti-virus block. Avast! tells you when you are about to go into a website or something like that that has a virus. It updates itself so don't get annoyed if the voice says, "Virus database has been updated." It is not my fault it says that. LOL

Yes I couldn't agree more.

I've used various anti-virus apps over the years McAfee, AntiVir, AVG, ClamWin and the best one that I've found is Avast! Free Antivirus 5.0.594 it has its own Malware checker (on web pages) even though I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 as well.

 

[MasterNerd]

well i actually changed my antivirus to comodo because it is free and it works better

 

[reptoslicer]

Sorry. I now changed from Avast! to Comodo security. It is better and it blocks from almost every website and it scans faster so you are pretty much safe with Comodo.

 

[reptoslicer]

Here is the website for Comodo:
Antivirus Firewall Software and SSL Certificate - Internet Security Software from Comodo
Hope this helps!

If you like bloatware, and constant annoyances.
