I had System Works, but it messed up my computer. I haven't checked it for viruses for a while, so I was wondering what's a good anti virus software and won't mess up my computer.

I have AVG but for some reason since it's a freeware, I feel as it doesn't do the same job a 50+ dollar software does.

I heard about Windows Live One Care, looks pretty good and I also need to tune up my computer to make it a little faster, which it offers it. Is this the best software out right now, or should I go with something else?

**RoBz** · 08-01-2007, 03:56 PM

Kaspersky is very very good.

**PSPduh** · 08-01-2007, 04:34 PM

NOD32 rocks my socks.

**RoBz** · 08-01-2007, 05:00 PM

Yeah Kaspersky's or NOD32 are without a doubt the best two.

**ghostENVY** · 08-01-2007, 05:01 PM

Kapsersky is better at detecting viruses/malware though I know that for a fact , but NOD32 is simply smaller requring a small portion of your ram and memory

_twopoint · 08-01-2007, 05:02 PM

Avast, no doubt. It's free scans PC when you restart extracts Trojans and also alerts you when a Trojan appears. As it finds one, it automatically deletes it.

It's by aol, but it's really good. If you do a little research you'll find it's rated as the best free antivirus anti spyware. I love it

**RoBz** · 08-01-2007, 05:14 PM

CCleaner is all you need for performance it can repair the registry, chose what starts up with Windows and clean out all your cookies and browser history.

Why would you need that, you can do that in FireFox without any un-needed plugins.

Ok you can clean cookies from firefox but that gets rid of site settings in CCleaner you can choose what cookies to keep so you don't lose automatic logins and stuff.

**Vanden** · 08-01-2007, 05:36 PM

CCleaner is a great app....It does more than clean cookies...

**Louu** · 08-01-2007, 06:57 PM

so the best one so far it's Kaspersky...

Windows Live Onecare isn't good at all?

and I also see that one of you mention something about performance software messing up your computer.

So is it better to stay away from performance softwares?

Judging from "Dont install any performance software there just ****ware..." I say yes, you should stay away from performance softwares.

**lianne777** · 08-03-2007, 02:58 AM

AVG and avast has the same level as those 50+ dolar software.

eldiablov · 08-03-2007, 05:00 AM

the full version of AVG is 50 dollars though

**twelve** · 08-03-2007, 05:18 AM

I used to have Norton but when that expired I tried out a whole load of free software.

I've stuck with AVG free and comodo firewall. I haven't had a virus, trojan, spyware etc since I installed them. Which is better than Norton Internet Security.

Yup and it's free

. I also like the cool skinning features.

**Louu** · 08-04-2007, 02:03 PM

will Kaspersky take care of spyware, trojans and the other stuff?

_twopoint · 08-04-2007, 02:04 PM

No but avast will.

**Louu** · 08-04-2007, 02:10 PM

oh and are firewalls really necessary?
