Drewdatrip Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 As far as i can tell AVG is a pretty good AV program. I use it on my 98 system, and its nice. But then again i dont really use my 98 system enough to tel you the ins and outs. Xperties(A Admin @ MSFN) uses it on XP, and i have heard him saying good things...and if he likes it, it must be atleast halfway decent.....-Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUrbanMyth Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THATS WHAT I SAY!Try it, then try Avast! You wont go back. And there are way to many reasons to type. You'll see, and it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahed26 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Esets NOD32 v.3.0 is the best one. Its not free but i think this as the best AV, and many other people say the same as well. Very low on system resource and top protectionhttp://www.eset.com/products/nod32.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganonluvesu Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 AVG isn't the best out there. Antivir (free-av.com) is the bomb. i have had clients come into my shop with avg 8 free (and pro) and ive scanend with it and found nothing. took it off, installed Antivir and the virus warnings came flooding in. i would not recomend avg to a soul.
