I don't know panda security, but Kaspersky, cool! One day only, for one year free!

I'll try to ping this tomorrow.

I worked in a neighborhood computer fix it shop for years. We always recommended and installed Kaspersky. Those Russians sure know how to make an antivirus. ;-)

One word: Linux. Then you actually get to use all your system’s resources for, well, doing things you want to do - not running anti-virus and firewall programs in the (probably vain) hope that you are protected against the most up to date threats.

[Big Giant Head]

I should make links I guess.

Panda security here

[randomhero97]

The only way a person will ever be fully protected is if that twisted pair, or fiber, cable is unplugged from the back. Then you have to worry about someone physically stealing it.

Go with Microsoft Security Essentials. Works well, and it’s free.

[Big Giant Head]

I know. I like Linux, and do use it. This is information for those that do not, and are looking for AV software.

Windows is here, and people are going to use it. One word Linux, won’t change that. So hey, free software.

[Big Giant Head]

Yep. Agree.

I’m just trying to help out.

[MamaLucci]

mark!

[Mmogamer]

We use Avast.. free of charge works as good as the expensive stuff.

[MamaLucci]

Me too! But it is “expiring” in 3 days. :(

[enduserindy]

“Go with Microsoft Security Essentials. Works well, and it’s free.”

Yeah I like it too. Its the best part of my XP.

[Mmogamer]

So get another license,, its free heh

[MamaLucci]

Bump to the morning crowd.

Ping for the tech list.

I highly recommend Kaspersky Internet Security. It has to be one of the best anti malware apps I’ve ever seen. It’s very flexible and has lots of features.

I wouldn’t recommend it on slower machines, but that seems to be the general rule for all software that comes out these days.

[GOPJ]

The site says you can do a virus scan without uninstalling your current AV program... but that it’s
“down” for now. Does that really work?

[rabscuttle385]

Panda is decent but bloated. We used to have a site license at home, until we switched to Nod32.

Is MSE protect against BOTH virus and malware/spyware? No need for additional protection?

[Defiant]

According to the FAQ on MS web site, it does deal with spyware too. I had Windows Defender on one machine that I installed MSE on, and they both are still running fine. I was thinking about uniinstalling Defender, but will leave it up a little longer to see whether it adds anything.
