Which is the best anti-virus?

Question

what about AVG? is it good?

Answer 1

Best antivirus software.This year, reviews give the edge to McAfee VirusScan 2006 over the other industry leader, Norton Anti-Virus.
Experts say McAfee has a more robust spyware scanner, which detects spyware and adware before it is downloaded to your computer. Virus definitions are updated daily for real-time scanning of incoming and outgoing e-mail, instant-messaging traffic and attachments.
McAfee especially watches for suspicious e-mail activity, such as too many e-mails sent at once. Although reviews say McAfee beats the current crop of antivirus software, testers complain that McAfee's interface is cluttered with promotions for other McAfee products. Deep system scans are accurate but slow, so it's best to schedule full scans during idle computer time. Note that if you use America Online, you can download McAfee VirusScan for free from AOL.

Answer 2

These are not only the ones I use but the ones recommended by the University of Harvard computer training class.

The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)
The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (www.spybot.info)
AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (www.spywareblaster.com)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.

These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.

The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have counteless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be tought in schools)

Answer 3

in my experiance freeware like avg and some of the others came full of the kind of things they claimed to defend agains.
the best product and the cheapest after the trial version expires is pc-cillin 14 from www.trendmicro.com it is an all around total security package that any home user could want on each computer.

try it and see for yourself all the great features.

don't forget like with all firewalls to block ICMP and ICMPv6 in and out bound.
