What's Your Favorite AV?

Only just saw this topic!

I have never used Kaspersky but have seen very very good reviews on it.

I've had NOD32 for a while now, probably about 3-4 years. Also tried Avast & AVG. NOD32 is the best IMO if you are willing to pay, if going for free then Avast.

:hysterical: After you have gone thru your very nearby McDonalds Drive Thru, of course. Gotta get something in your tummy before hitting the hard stuff...so you can drink more of it!

It's Avast for me. Great scanner, and having good Czech blood flowing in my veins, it's fun to use a Czech program...w/ good Czech blood flowing in the computer code.

PLUS! How many A/V's send you a Christmas card?
The little blue screen that floats up from the bottom of your screen and tells you, "Virus database has been updated..." was a little red box the other day and it said "Seasons Greetings from Alwil Softeware" or something like that. :thumbsup:

You could just as well try AVG, since it´s also czech. But on the other hand, it didn´t send you Christmas greetings :tease:

AVG is also czech? Did not know that. Well, I'm impressed that the my "homeland" people are so security conscious that they have produced and maintain 2 of the most popular free A/V's that many of us are using. There must be a pocket of dandy programmers back there in the Czech Republic.

And Die Hard, I bet AVG sent you Christmas greetings, but you just didn't notice. Might want to check your logs. :tease:

Ah, AVG/Grisoft is out of Brno, Czech Republic.
Actually, my cesky (czech language) not so good.
I do know Vitame Vas! (translated: We welcome you!) :)
Maybe if we add that to the LzD forum banner some of those crackerjack czech techies will join our forum.
You know, if you build it...they will come. Who knows, maybe they are already here, and I don't know it. :tease:

Going on, let's see now, about 3 years for me with AVG!

With KERIO personal firewall and AVG, have not had so much as one single serious issue, great combo for me and XP Pro!

AVG updates simply won't quit, they update that AV proggy like there is no tomorrow, you gotta love it.

KERIO is simply amazing for me also. No incompatibility system issues either like i used to suffer from with other firewalls. Both are mainstays on my system.
