#1 Okay, viruses are a huge deal now-a-days, mostly attacks windows platforms, a summary of the best anti viruses is here, as well as more stuff and links: Note- Check anti virus combo AFTER reading this please: http://www.naruto-boards.com/276494/anti-virus-combo/ One of the most frustrating things while you are using the computer is The big V, Viruses!! Sure, you must have seen A Lot of anti viruses, or maybe you just heard of the most popular one, Norton anti virus.. As a long user of norton (i got 2005, 06,07 and 08) I always thought that windows sucked, because i had freakin' viruses all the time, even with norton installed.. One day, i came back from my friends house, brought him with me just for kicks, When he told me to uninstall norton, and put another anti virus called Nod32.. I didn't agree with him at first, and the days weeks passed when BAM! i see i got 4 viruses on my computer, which was windows xp pro, i scanned it and left the pc open for 4 hours, Done scanning and it said.. "All threats removed" So, i was delighted and went to my application folder to remove some un necessary applications.. I only kept Firefox, Opera, Puzzle pirates, Nero, word, powerpoint and paint.Net plus Anti virus.. then i decided to run a quick scan, which is another feature in Norton just to be sure, and then BAM i got another 2 viruses on my comp..i was like WTF!! The software just told me that it removed all of 'em!!! When i invited my friend, And told him about the application that he mentioned. He told me to unistall norton, which i happily did but it didn't seem to unistall correctly, 5 minutes to remove itself and it still keeps traces.. Which is known for ALL norton software.. After some effort, I removed it and quickly installed Nod32.. Ran a quick scan, and it found all my threats which were all viruses and they were...7 seven!!! after norton (the self proclaimed best anti virus) found only 3.. It removed them in less than 20 seconds and my computer since then stopped lagging!!.. Nod32 isn't free, works just like norton, u gotta pay.. But with Nod, u get what u paid for. with norton, u get shit.. First off, Norton doesn't support all windows versions, Xp and vista only.. Nod32 supports windows DOS, 95, 98, xp and vista.. Norton updates every month or 2 weeks, and updates take tons of space, While Nod32 updates daily in KB's which are Really effective Norton-when it got tested-got 87% of viruses that were tested on it, while Nod32 found 98% in a shorter time, What I'm saying is that, If you are planning on getting Norton '08 or '09 when it comes out then simply don't, Get yourself Nod32 which is waay cheaper, Or Get the free alternative Avast! Anti virus, which also got 98.3% of the viruses tested on it, which is really good.. Avast can scan your computer while its booting (opening up) which viruses block, so it removes them..But unfortunately it only has 1 engine, while Nod32 has four, which is the highest among all. Another good alternative would be the free AVG, which was a huge hit but here's what it does: 1-it has a link scanner, which is good..But isn't always accurate, 2-catches a lot of viruses, and has the fastest scanning rate, what it doesn't do is: It doesn't catch viruses unless you scan it first, which is so bad!!! It doesn't have a firewall, it can't catch random viruses, you have to scan..so i will say stay away from this and get avast or if you are willing to spend some cash, get Nod32.. Another good anti virus is kaspersky, But Nod32 over throws it.. Nod32 has 100% windows enabled features, unfortunately it doesn't run on mac, only windows and linux.. Avast has a mac version but u gotta pay, A good anti virus for mac would be clamXav, which is free and works well with any mac because mac only has like 3 viruses and most of them are from porn sites, so mac is safer, that's why i have a mac instead of windows.. If you are sick of windows, you could try getting a mac which costs money or try the free ubuntu linux, or search "list of linux distributions" Linux and mac run on Unix-coding which is hard to hack so it has only a few viruses.. You should also use Firefox 3 on any operating system, don't use internet explorer, it has a lot of weak spots while firefox has a built in scanner, set firefox as your default browser.
