I've had great result with trend-micro. Primarily love it for its non-obtrusive nature.

a mac!

#463715

Hands down, McAfee Enterprise Edition.

It's never failed me and has stopped many nasty little viri in their tracks.

#463716

Zonelabs ZoneAlarm works for me...

#463719

a mac!

im on a mac dude but im not going to rebuy all my games just so i can play them in on OS X

im quiet content to boot into XP for my games and then back again for everything else

kaspersky is the best anti virus for security purposes. However if you use it all the time it'll make your machine (especially hard drives) cry as it'll want to scan everything (with its default settings).

i'm fine with that and i've never had a problem with it running, in fact its saved my skin a few times too.

google says it might harm my machine? never mind, i have kaspersky, away!

AVG + Adaware = :)

RealtimeProtection = :mad:

#463738

avira antivir... its free!

haha.. i've had good experience with Avast. i think its from the same company of AVG; not sure. but i don't think you'd encounter too many viruses if you'll just be gaming from bootcamp, Mac's defenses should be enough.

i think McAffee is the best, even though my computer has had some errors a virus has never infected it, but I think i'll give trend-micro a try, i've never recieved infected emails neither with trend micro...

you guys know the trend micro webpage? i'd like to download it...:)

None! Because I keep a lean system and I'm batshit crazy.

#464300

NOD32, wouldn't trust anything else. :)

#464311

None! Because I keep a lean system and I'm batshit crazy.

respect! when i grow up, i want to be batshit crazy :)

#464314

None too. A brain should be enough :P

#464315

...good experience with eScan, it uses kapersky, as far as I know. I cannot say that it slows my harddisk, but I never worked without it, so.....

#464320

Dam the Anti Virus market is over crowded 5 listed anti virus applications plus 10 others i didnt even know existed its a wonder anyone can pick one but the poll seems to point at AVG as being the most well known but does it live up to its name?...... sigh i guess

#464321

Nod32 and Kaspersky are the best antivirus softwares...

#464329

Antivir - No 1.

#464356

Definitely not norton, seeing as it always fails to fight viruses itself and i always end up deleting them myself...which lasted me 2 years.

Now i have avast which in my opinion isn't really the best one out there. It let a mbr virus sneak in and overthrow my whole god damn computer. I'm still using it because i don't have enough money to go with anything else.

I've heard good things about NOD32, should i save up enough for it or should i go with something else?

#464368

Kaspersky. Not had any trouble yet.

#464376

no Symantec Anti Virus? i don't have problems with it.

#464379

NOD32 and Kaspersky have the best detection rates, so I recommend either one of those.

I personally use NOD32 because it runs the lightest on my system.

#464393

come to think of it, i have a question about avast.

everytime i finish a scan i get a result that says msi.dll located in C:System Volume information is a corrupted CAB archive. When i try to right click repair, i get a repair success, but everytime it still says that msi.dll is still corrupted among other things.

sorry to hijack the thread, but i'm guessing it's better to discuss it here what with anti viruses and such.

#464396

Avast. It sometimes even stops you from downloading a lil' nasty.

However, even a little human error can render your system suddenly bloated with crap in a snap.
