Author Topic: Need Opinions for a new Antivirus Program  (Read 1990 times)

I'm sick of using McAfee due to it's horrendously tedious firewall.
Does anyone use any good antivirus programs that can take McAfee's place?
Free and cheap is nice.

Avast Free Edition. I've been using it and it does a very good job, even blocks nasty web pages and other crap.


Microsoft Security Essentials




Avast Free Edition.
It's not a bad thing, but just note you have to renew a registration every uhhh
year?
It's still free though


Bitdefender

I suggest avoiding this. A year or so back they had a bug in the whole system which caused the Antivirus to see everything as a virus and it started deleting every file on your computer rendering it useless.

MalwareBytes
that's anti malware, not an anti virus
Malwarebytes is good, but I would use MSE with it

AVG Free is great and has been doing the job for years with me.

Lol, show me the article. I can't find it by searching Bitdefender virus false detection bug. Therefore I do not believe you.

AVG. i've been using it and it works great
