it is not virus that cause most of the problems on our system,your anti virus cannot solve the problems of spyware and slow system as well as malware,
It is possible to get the best antivirus bu still experience,slow system,system hanging etc
To get all these done,get these naija/american software made,that will make your system boot up as fast as possible as well as shut down.
you can also double the power of your battery,etc

Enjoy bro. Norton will never detect rootkits on your system though.
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by GeorgeD1(m): 1:03pm On Aug 07, 2011
yeah, i guess it won't but as long as the rootkits don't root out my personal data or steal
my bank info, maybe i shouldn't bother too much, don't you think?
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by chukwudi01: 3:29am On Aug 08, 2011
I recommended three things to customers while I was working as a computer technician during undergrad: Microsoft Security Essentials, MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, and common sense.

All three are effective and FREE. Don't be afraid of MSE because it's made by Microsoft. You can put it near the top of the list of things they've done right.

LOL at some of you people using McAfee or Norton.
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by Blakez: 11:23am On Aug 08, 2011
D best antivirus to use is eset and nod32
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by realvenc: 3:30pm On Aug 08, 2011
My Mcafee anti virus just expired and am thinking of leaving them and going for NORTON 360 VERSION 5.

Pls house what is your take on this.

Meanwhile i did a windows update on my system and i am now seeing Microsoft Security Essentials saying am protected. Does this mean i may not be needing another antivirus.

If i still need to buy an antivirus, do i still install it with the Microsoft Security Essential

Pls all your advice is needed
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by GeorgeD1(m): 5:19pm On Aug 08, 2011
chukwudi01,

that's a strong mse endorsement once again.

realvenc,
as you can see from chukwudi's post, its best to stick with mse.

its effective and best of all, its free!

Re: Best Antivirus To Use by GeorgeD1(m): 4:06pm On Aug 09, 2011
there will be no switching, my brother when there is free mse to do a better job! grin
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by realvenc: 9:14pm On Aug 09, 2011
@Chukwudi01, @George_D, @adey4real

Actually i never knew Microsoft Security Essential was a Full Anti Virus that can give Max Protection to a PC.

Am not even sure how i came to start having it on my PC. Just started seeing it after i did a Windows update and it showed computer status- Protected.

But most people i asked abt it where like it may not be a full anti virus that can give protection against all malwares and virus so that was why i posted here.

So i still need to know if it is ok and safe for me to just use MSE only on my system.

Then is it ok to run but MSE and Norton or ESET

Another thing i want to know is whether ESET has got multiuser licenses like Norton has and where one can purchase that online.

For instance i can buy a Norton 360 3 user license and use on Max 3 pc system

Pls your contributions needed.

Thanks all
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by GeorgeD1(m): 6:14pm On Aug 11, 2011

You'll want to take back those words after using Linux and opensource programs.
Re: Best Antivirus To Use by tunde300us(m): 12:02am On Aug 19, 2011
What could be wrong when a system starts saying something like THE SYSTEM MEMORY HAS BEEN CHANGED ,and when it finally finish booting and you do a right click of any folder , it will have as part of it options SHELL CMD.
I want to assume its a virus,but even kaspersky wont see it after a scan

aye. i'm not really a fan of linux and open source but i suspect they should even further buttress my point rather than vitiate them. wink

How's that when 80% of web server operating systems use linux including that of nairaland? The Linux OS is far far better than that of Microsoft who have been struggling so many years now to catch up. People are just stuck helplessly with Windows coz you have choice of more programs there. Moreover, the last Microsoft Career Conference I attended, Linux skills was the third top career choice before Microsoft Certifications. Wake up and clean your eyes. cool

@tunde300us: You probably installed something recently that made changes to your operating system without your knowledge of the program itself. Post your problem in the (Computer troubles sections instead)

You're welcome. One more sweet thing you can get for free is robosam A tiny program that can work together with your existing antivirus to provide permanent protection. It's much better than USB Disk Security Disk smiley
