pls how do I go about buying goods online?

I think all antivirus do a reasonable job, you will only have calamities if you've been depending on trial versions.

ESET NOD32 is the best i've ever used.

give it a try. Its not available online, you will need to buy from their agents in Nigeria. A friend of mine is an agent, if you don't mind.

Avast antivirus all the way

I have been using the FREE AVAST for over 2 years now and sometimes it makes me wonder what better thing the PREMIUM one can offer. It protects me 100% (or so it seems to me). Just keep it always updated.

For me, avast is very good especially if you use the paid version internet security. it has the safe zone where you can browse, shop and do transact online safely, protected from any dangerous software or programme that might have been downloaded into your system unknowingly.

Just like asking which phone is the best when there are lots of vendors, its just a matter of choice. Norton, Avast, McAfree, Panda, Kaspersky, Bitdefender etc are all good Anti Virus software. No matter your choice the thing about Anti Virus is to ensure a constant update.

Avira but you must constantly update

Do u want to know d bitter truth, D answer is N0, No antivrus can completely protect your computer from hackers,,,I mean REAL hackers, D internent is not a safe place, Why do you think the us govt had his website hacked buy hackers when a protest was goin on,,though it could happen in many ways,, sql injections and use of  rat , As far has u use ur computer on the internet, its a risk

Emperoh:

I think most if not all of them are good.
The problem is that most of us use the free online version which just covers a little of a whole lot.
Maybe the basics. Hence, worms and cookies can still seep in and do the damage.

It's advisable to use the full premium version and pay the annual subscription fee.
That's what's been working for me!

Trust me, I can use the full premiun version without paying a dime and still get all features and updates 100% working.

Sorry to say, but this sounds boring

I use Kaspersky and it works fine and Avast, that's really good as well.

Thanks all, i have learnt a lot from this thread.

Microsoft Windows Essentials, used it for 1.5 years and I've not had any issues with virus, spyware etc. And it also free from Microsoft's website.
It can also be used with other anti-virus without issues.

AS for me , I believe Avira has been the best of all! Have been making use of it for so many years

hahaha, kaspersky my foot, better settle for avast and all your worries will be over

if you are always online and use p2p programs, you will understand.
Btw i thought avast free edition is only for a year after reg? Lol

When it comes to corporate protection of your companys network & computer resources,Mcaffee is 2nd to none.
I have been a System Admin 4 over 4yrs & I can testify of that.Thou Mcaffee is more expensive than others reason only corporate organisatn use it & its difficult to get free as it works fine even when not updated 4 like 2months.Another fantastic thing abt it is dat it is data friendly.It doesnt destroy ur files in attempt to remove a worm.It conforms to best practise.MTN and CBN cant be wrong.Thats what they use for all their desktops,laptops,servers nationwide.

u cant compare anyone to kapaskey and norton,

In response to the query, it is apt to consider such factors as system specification, degree of exposure to malware from use or intentional application, access to online or offline updates and license or upgrade options and, ease of use and side functionalities like Firewall, Tuneup, etc.,. If your system is in the low-end bracket, it is best you opt for anti-malware applications that take less handles and, put your system in a drag, while still providing fair enough protection against malware-Avira, Norton and Trend Micro Anti-Malware applications fare well here. On the other hand where your system is in the mid-range to high-range and can sufficiently handle multiple threads, then Bit-Defender or McAfee could earn your interest with extended tools like Tune-Up utilities. Again, if online access to updates is impossible, then offline updates is imperative for continued protection against malware, then AVG ranks high in this regard, asides the fact that it is free. If you are out for the most robust functionalities like firewall and Tune-up utilities, with ease of access to licenses and upgrades then, Kaspersky Labs and Avast could engage your interest, with the former presenting the most sturdy firewall and protection and control against malware-my take from experience. If you frequently deal with .rar files and other compression formats and, are sufficiently exposed to deliberate risks, hence the need for control on alert flags due to the applications or nature of your workspace, then Kaspersky would earn your admiration.

In all, each has its own strength and weakness and, the evaluation of any would be to consider them on the basis of expectations and user peculiarities.

Please, which one is easy to buy(premium) without involving all this paypal , visacard.?

Use Microsoft Essentials.

Been using Norton (Updated to 2012 now) for years without any probs. I should also mention i have constant access to the internet for daily updates so it works fine.

I use Comodo Premium Antivirus. It works well for me. The only downside is that it's too technical to use
