Phinks Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 if you want just an antivirus only get avast free if you want a internet suite get comodo internet security 5.10 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponting Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Use Sandboxie. It may seem off the topic(according to you) dude but Sandboxie is effective even against Rootkits. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 hello frds plz tell me which is the best free antivirus???What's the reason for using the condition 'free.' My understanding is that everything (including Antivirus) is free on this site, unless I'm missing something, here. :think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazzser Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 The best free AV imho is Avast. But Avira and AVG comes close in that order of preference, Microsoft Security Essentials is not in the same league yet. The level of real world protection they offer is almost equal, so chose the one that fits better to you.A good security setup for most uses would be: Avast Free + Windows Firewall with Malwarebytes Free as a second opinion antimalware.

spudboy Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Anyone using AVG has no clue what they're doing. They've been bad for years.http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/ondret/avc_fd_mar2012_intl_en.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanon Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 hello frds plz tell me which is the best free antivirus???What's the reason for using the condition 'free.' My understanding is that everything (including Antivirus) is free on this site, unless I'm missing something, here. :think: Exactly. So the question would be which anti-virus solution to use in general, and it only makes the matter more difficult. For the simplest solution, go ESS, it's set and forget, and still powerful enough for the above average user to configure. With T-nod it will feel like a free solution. :D I would also go for Kaspersky, if you can bear the impact, and don't mind the serial hunt. I would also recommend Webroot woth Sandboxie and HIPS. :) If you persist on a legally free AV, go Avira, but keep in mind that it's YOU that'll be using whichever of the products, and it must feel effective to you. In that regard, in reality, any of the top 5 will do just fine. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Rocketman. gave you good answer. Almost every Antivirus on Nsane.down is free with the help of Keygen, patch and trial reset. So, what made you think of considering free antivirus. But, if really going for Free-Antivirus then I would recommend Avast or Avira (both are good) for addition layer of security you can use Comodo Firewall with Defense++ (it also has Sandbox) (Plus it also change your DNS for addition layer of security) or use Free best HIPS called Malware Defender adding WinPatrol with it.

avmad Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Depends on the rest of you security software. Do you have a certain firewall to use with it? A sandbox? A virtual or rollback anything? etc etcWhat do you use the pc for? Spec and more etceteras :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanon Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 or use Free best HIPS called Malware Defender adding WinPatrol with it. I'm not sure WinPatrol would agree with MD? (WinPatrol is the dog thingy, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 or use Free best HIPS called Malware Defender adding WinPatrol with it. I'm not sure WinPatrol would agree with MD? (WinPatrol is the dog thingy, right?) I believe so. But there is no harm in checking WinPatrol with Malware Defender, since they will not conflict with each other like Antivirus's...Basiclly, WinPatrol is not a replacement for HIPS. Whereas, MD is going to protect more like Comodo Defense++. Or download DefenseWall (HIPS and Firewall) from Nsane.down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Bitdefender Free Edition uses the same ICSA Labs certified scanning engines found in other Bitdefender products, allowing you to enjoy basic virus protection for no cost at all. Not bad choice..But, again you might need additional security like Firewall and HIPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanon Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hell, might be. Haven't used WinPatrol in ages. XDIf I remembered correctly, it has many functions that are already in MD. Ih has a startup entries analyser, a running processes manager, services setup (Those are the main functions of WinPatrol, right? XD)I remember using it, until I installed MD. :think: :think: :think:I'd reinstall it to check, but I'm lazy. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanon Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Well, if you don't want to bother him, get something like Avast (maybe even setting up Avira would work). I wouldn't go for AVG personally, always found it horrible. As for Comodo, well, some people swear by it, and it really does get good results in tests, but I've never been able to get it to run properly on my PC (slowdowns, memory hog, etc.), so for Comodo, you really need to try it on the machine, and see how it acts. If it runs smoothly, leave it as is, if not, cut it from the machine.Hope this helps. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't go for AVG personally, always found it horrible. Good recommendation. Avira is great AV, even according to VB 100, it has a good detection rates. However, it needs some twicking. Avast is good but its not so good in removal and quarantine. AVG, on other hand, is OK AV, not so bad in detection and removal, personally, I wouldn't go for it. Comodo, according to some people is good since, comparing to other security suites it packs with very good modules in Comodo Internet Security, however, it has biggest setback which is, it finds alot of false positive, which makes people confused about removal, quarantine or ignore, which can really mess things up. Personally, I will advise either go for Avast or Avira combing with Comodo Firewall and Defese++ (by enabling Sandbox). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
