What Virus protection recommending?

[Kitten Kong]

We've been using and recommending Comodo, looks good, installs quick, runs in the background, doesnt slow the machines down. to date, it hasn't let a single virus through.

MSE for free, Kaspersky for paid.

Yeah same for me here

 

[INIX]

+1 Kaspersky
Very nice

I'm currently using Noron .... GASP ... HORROR... though most of my reasoning is I get it for free (legally), sure i've heard plenty of stories about it, but i've never had a real problem... I have kaspersky on my other computer and i used to use it on my main pc, til it expired and i got norton for free... so i recommend both

wont recommend mcafee anymore

Okay, I win 4 interwebz, but what AV are you recommending?

I don't. I have yet to see a system that has been infected with a virus that MalwareBytes has intentionally left out of it's database because others have caught it. It's not worth the bog down on the system that most Anti-virus programs cause.

If I had a gun to my head, I'd go with MSE.

We only provide NOD 32 but always install MBAM as a precaution on every machine we sell or service.

Customers are very happy

I like Comodo. I use it and recommend it. I even signed up with their reseller program. 50% commission on sales. I'm going to recommend it to my customer's and direct them to my website to pay for it and download it. I absolutely love the sandbox.

I only use mse now. If the system doesn't have a valid copy of windows then it either will by the time I'm done or I don't work on it.

MSE for free, Kaspersky for paid.

Another vote for MSE and Kaspersky here

+ 3 Microsoft Security Essentials.

I USED to install Avast on people's computers but I got sick and tired of most people getting confused into PAYING for it after 3 months, or worse... people telling me their anti-virus software had EXPIRED because they couldn't figure out how to register it.

 

[Vakman]

I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials for free AV.
I recommend ESET NOD32/Smart Security for paid AV.
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for cleaning up problems with others tools but this is a good one.

Knowing no antivirus is perfect... I recommend MSE to my home clients or for a free solution and ESET Nod32 for my business clients and those who I feel need a better, more effective solution.

 

[1101doc]

Paid- Emsisoft AntiMalware (A-Squared)
Free- Avast or Avira
Plus Immunet in addition to whatever is chosen.

After an infection we set OpenDNS and recommend Web of Trust for all users.

WinPatrol for everyone!

I have been recommending Microsoft Security Essentials.

I will be starting up in business soon and I would recommend MSE too.

 

[tasaholic]

No longer advise using AVG..paid or free..too many issues and false positives.
For free AV's I use Avast and Avira..preference on Avast. For paid I use and recommend Sunbelt Vipre..use it on all my machines and find it better than anything else I've ever tried.
Malwarebytes is an essential addition to every machine imho.

I always recommend Avast for all customers. I have signed up to their affiliate program and get 35% commission on all sales, which are made by clicking on the banner on my site. It's a fairly easy sale, as it only costs £29.95 in the UK, and most UK customers have been forced into buying Norton (for £60+) when they bought their computer.

I've installed MSE on a number of machines for customers who want free AV, and found that it works well on Vista & 7, but can slow the system down on older XP machines. Especially for the ones with less than 1Gb of RAM.

Oh, and I always install Malware Bytes & CCleaner as well.
