The Best Anti-Virus software for XP
As most of the others I have been using Norton till a friend of mine convinced to replace it with Kaspersky.I beleived that i got zero benefit with that one as well since i aware that there are still many viruses and trojans in my PC.Than the other came named Avast.Please share your knowledge and/or opinions which one is really suitable for XP.?
Thanks,
use MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIAL ., it is best and free version antivirus from Microsoft.

I am using Avast now. And it is doing fine. Can detect viruses easily especially for flash drives and some downloads with types of viruses.

AVG....best Free AV.....never had a problem with it
All the antivirus software’s are the same they all scan and delete Viruses, Trojans, and Worms etc. The important thing is knowing how to scan a pc! Viruses mostly uses startup programs to infect a computer therefore before performing full computer scan using any antivirus user should make sure that he/she logged in using safe mode. While in a safe mode user has to start the antivirus software manually then perform full scan. Safe mode kills all the unnecessary programs and allows only drivers any programs which need to run the OS as a result while scanning for viruses in safe mode your antivirus will normally scan more files and has more access to any programs loaded to your HDD.
Kaspersky is still most reliable antivirus software.
Bit Defender all the way...
AVG all the way for moi, have kept the scans for 3.00am :D keeps updating automatically from time to time and till now no system viruses..phew

" In my opinion only. . . nothing personal"
Nobody uses a computer 24 hours aday. So AVG is good. Schedule the scan for a time you are not awake and you won't notice the system resource intensive load. I agree with MissX.
nah.. if your pc still has autorun programs, delete them all. I seriously dislike Norton. Eset nod32 is a good one, so is Kaspersky. Kaspersky is the best so far that i have tried.
Mind your own business, then you will see the joy coming into your life.
In my opinion the most effective is AVG. Some people don't like it, as it is system intensive (meaning it slows your computer down while the scan is running), however in terms of the most up to date virus protection, and a very thorough daily computer check, it is one of the better ones.
