Frankly speaking, I am an expert on Anti-viruses

And the best anti-virus is from Norton.

But the best free one is Avast from Alwil.

For me first priority is BitDefender and then comes NOD32.

Rest of 'em are all irredeemable!

Check this:

http://www.symantec.com/business/security_response/definitions/download/detail.jsp?gid=savce

All Symantec and norton product's virus definition files are the same. Thus, you cannot claim one is better than the other.

I've used norton 360 for sometime. And I say, Symantec endpoint protection is better. Take that from me. Try it, if you want to.

Sorry, I meant to say frankly, deeply regret that post. Very sorry for the inconvenience.....

But, Norton is from Symantec By the way.

And I would suggest all to use it, because it has the best block rates, the fastest speeds, and one of the highest catch rates.

Norton makes only old pcs slow, because it has pulse updates, that ensure that you are updated every 5 minutes, and does not hog your network speed.

But if you want a free Solution Alwil's Avast offers the best and most comprehensive protection.

Yes, but Symantec cannot be bought and used by the general public, you may have gotten in from a Business...

Symantec only sells to Businesses as a company brand.

It's Public brand is Norton.

Download it from here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/242087271/Symantec.Endpoint.Protection.Small.Business.Edition.v12.0.122.192.x86-DVT.rar

Just try it for sometime... You'll know the difference! :)

If you're installing in windows 7, you have to uncheck the "Start Auto Protect after installation finishes" function. You can activate it after the installation is finished.

I don't know... my dad got it from somewhere. Since then, we've used this and never even considered switching to another. It was first, "Symantec antivirus corporate edition" then came "Symantec Endpoint protection", which is the latest version.

Version 12 is the latest.

I use AVG, love it <3 && it's totally free yet efficient.
Title: Re: Antiviruses !!
Post by: 110000000 on June 04, 2010, 07:51:31 am
Yeah..but you see, ive tried AVG on my other PCs..its too secure!!
I have a lot of crack's for my games and other softwares...And it detects them as a Trojan Horse..and even after I've  added them as an exception, it keeps on detecting them..:(:(

I tried Norton 360 (Fake using crack ofcourse xD) But it wasnt completely compatible with windows 7...
Then came across microsoft 's free antivirus...I had almost forgotten that My win7 was non-genuine...But it has the genuine 'patch'...
So i was able to install it on my OS..but three days later..even though i turned the updates off, It detected that my OS license was fake, and they decided to de-activate my license...I had three days left, to copy all my programs and files, and re-install an OS...And i had almost a terabyte of data :O:O...

From then on, i ve started saving all my file on a seperate partition...

Yea..It take quite some CPU usage though..on laptops especially..You can hear the Heatsink or CPU FAn just crying desperately to stop...especially on TOSHIBAs in high performance power plan...

Not a good idea I think. Yes, your computer would be a little bit slower, but its worth it considering the amount of hassle one has to go through in case of a virus infection.

Quick heal total security is one of the best anti-virus software. It has latest updated library of any virus which is launched recently. I think this anti virus can protect my PC with high efficiency.

The links were about casino stuff, brands and clothes, fake passports, marketing, or were in russian (most common links they have in their profile)
