does any one knows the best antivirus to use now, cos i'm tired of all this avg, avast and norton

uve used avg, norton and avast and it didn't help or u just want to change?
am not a fan of avg or norton but am using avast rite nw, afta using antivir for a long time.
avast luks kinda good n aint giving no prob, atleast regular updates and i cn go get it from a cybacafe too, so i guess its pretty cool. wot prob did u encounter with it?


wen last i checked the rating, f-secure was topping the chart. u can only get trial versions of those top rangers and they are basically for organisations. if u get the trial versions u know wot happens afta 30 or 60days.

ope dis helps?

chao!

DUDE.LIKE ALL THINGS COMPUTER RELATED,WOT WORKS DEPENDS ON UR PECULIAR NEEDS.SOME ANTIVIRUS GIVE GOOD PROTECTION BUT SLOW UP YA SYSTEM.OTHERS OFFER FREQUENT UPDATES TO MAKE UP 4 A NOT SO EXTENSIVE VIRUS DATABASE.SOME EVEN CHARGE U FOR CUSTOMER RELATED CALLS.THE TOP 8 IN ORDER OF OVERALL RATING ARE:
1.KASPERSKY ANTIVIRUS 7
2.NORTON 2007
3.BITDEFENDER 10
4.ESET NOD32
5.PANDA 2007
6.ALWIL AVAST
7.GRISOFT AVG 7.5
8.TREND MICRO

I USE KASPERSKY AND IT WORKS GREAT 4 ME.IT CAUGHT A FEW BUGS THAT SLIPPED PAST MY AVAST.
BUT LIKE I SAID,ITS REALLY ABT WHAT U DO,AND THE RISKS U EXPOSE UR SYSTEM 2.THAT RATING WAS BY PC WORLD,BY THE WAY.

Sorry to digress here

it just refreshes itself and starts send the weird un readable messages

does it mean it has a virus

HI, U JUST CORRECTED UR EARLIER POST AND DIDNT ADDRESS ANY OF MA QUESTIONS.
TYPO'S R ONLY A BOTHER WHEN THEY DETRACT FROM THE MEANING OF THE TEXT.
U WERE QUITE CLEAR,TYPOS N ALL.

Well when i say unreadable i mean

for instance the status box instead available or busy i read stuff like this

aalkraekrhac salkawieawcam,s.a

and then the other parts start reading page can not be displayed

lately when i'm chatting with someone online it just sends "aewlejafmdlwe' type of messages

i use Mcafee

SALSERA,MY YAHOO MESSENGER HANDLE IS oksdman.
HIT ME UP IF U LIKE THEN WE CAN WORK REAL TIME.
I WOULD RECOMMEND CHANGING UR ANTIVIRUS,BUT IM NOT SAYING THATS THE CULPRIT.DO ANY OTHER PROGRAMS ACT UP?

no other program does that


i just deleted yahoo messenger, trying to download it again

Fellow Naira landers, AVG 7.5 remains the best antivirus so far.I have been using for 2years plus now without problems.Remember to use a registered version, not the free version.
