Blaise321 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I need to get new virus protection software. I'm currently using McAfee and it sucks. I do a lot of financial stuff online and want to get better protected. I've researched different products but would prefer to work off a good recommendation instead. Any suggestions?

DrDawkinstein Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) This thread that goes back almost a full year has some good info in it. I believe the going favorite is Avast. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/102604-best-anti-virussecurity-software/page__p__1655812__hl__avast__fromsearch__1#entry1655812 Edited December 23, 2010 by DrDankenstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVUFootball29 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hate anti virus programs as they seem to bog systems down more than the spyware they protect against. I've not used AV in years, just common sense and have yet to pick up a virus. I used Malware Bytes on all my computers to scan for problems on a monthly basis just to be safe. If someone does really want an AV, i always recommend Avast! and tell people to avoid AVG and whatever it is Time Warner gives out for free, I think its called security suite.

boyst Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I got Avast from the Thread and dumped AVG. I have Malware Bytes, as well, but do not run it active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other I like is Avira. Both are excellent with different strengths and weaknesses. I guess I would say, if you have a slower machine or one with limited RAM, use Avira.

My daughter had Symantec as the campus Info Technology-provided software when she was at college. It worked very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
