Comment on which is better ESET NOD32 smart security or ESET NOD32 antivirus? by Willy

What Ace and Projecti… have said is correct. Most suites have one strong point and the rest are fair-to-middlin’. Usually the AV is the best feature and often the firewall, which is an essential security feature, is average to poor.

Most anti-virus programs will do a pretty good job and there isn’t much to choose between them in terms of effectiveness, so it’s down to personal preference. NOD32 is very effective, has a small footprint and is very fast. The ESET firewall is quite new and needs to mature. See these firewall test results:

As NOD32 AV is excellent I’d suggest using that and the free version of OnlineArmor firewall, which is very strong and quite user-friendly (far more so than Comodo). Those two will keep you pretty safe.

Try using avast free anti-virus, you can get it from avast.com and run a scan on boot mode, it will scan every single file on system boot so no virus can hit it self what so ever. If you need a full review on avast paid version you can get it from here =)

If you maintain any Anti virus software, and especially Kaspersky it will remove Win 32.
There is a difference between a Trojan Horse and a Virus.
You must maintain UP TO DATE anti virus software for it to work.
If you don’t pay for it every year then why have it at all.

in safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you
delete it manually. then run ccleaner to cleand your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry.
what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program.
even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid.

Comment on How Can i use the Trial version for Kaspersky Antivirus(30 Days) after 30 days? by Chi (CW)

Yeah, just uninstall it and delete all the traces and registry keys off your computer. Just run “regedit” when done uninstalling it. That might work. Or what I would do is a reboot, but the bad thing is doing one will delete all your files off the computer.

Def go with KIS, Bitdefender, or Avira. KIS is pretty easy to use and amazing. It’s what I use.

McAfee is not very good.

The best anti-virus applications on the market today are (in no particular order):

- Kaspersky (Pay)

- Eset NOD32 (Pay)

- Avast! (Pay or Free versions)

- BitDefender (Pay of Free versions)

- Norton 2009 (Pay) Any older version is garbage, but they reworked it this year and it is nice and light and very accurate.

- Comodo’s new firewall with anti-virus is an excellent app. I am using it with Windows 7 right now and it is good, except for some false positives which aren’t a problem for me.

All the others are basically trash. Anyone who tells you that their favorite AV program is the best just because they “Haven’t had any viruses” is a fool. The truth is their virus detection kit is so poor that it can’t even tell they have a virus. That is not the same as not having a virus.

Anyone who uses anything other than the apps I listed above needs to download and scan their PC with Malwarebytes.org AntiMalware. DO IT NOW!!!

Here are some links for you:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/

http://www.filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/

http://www.filehippo.com/download_bitdefender/

I think Avast! is by far the best free AV around. One should never rely on a single program or suite to handle all of their security. Use the Malwarebytes.org AntiMalware to scan once per week along with whatever active scanner you use and you should stay 99% clean.
