Just removed over 150 thousand viruses...

Off of a customer's computer...



Yeaaa.

AntiVir does a good job. It found all that, Norton 360 found none. What antivirus do you like?

I don't think AntiVir kills cookies.

I guess, that's why av-comparatives gave Avira the overall best of 2008 in their report:http://www.av-comparatives.org/seite...ummary2008.pdf

It says nod32 won for the last two years,and it was close this year,so imo that makes nod32 the better bet.

Psh, NOD 32 came in second, and honestly that's an opinion based article (just like my opinion that ESET is better) in fact the fact that it takes so little system resources to run yet is still powerful enough to beat down your dad and rape your mother is the reason I say it's best.

Most virus are not made to destory but made to learn what you are looking at.


MOST


It's not like the old days when people in Russia sat back and did it for fun. All those people get paid these days to stop it! Or to make money by selling peoples habits.


I don't know a record but I have seen some VERY VERY VERY bad ones.

Couldn't say it better. Not a single virus on any PC I've had Nod32 on...I know because I've scanned each one with like 7-10 different AV's and even tried infecting them on purpose.

Buy? I can get the viruses free and I can remove them for free and block a large percentage for free.
