Title: Okay, so I'm getting a new laptop, and have questions [RESOLVED]
Post by: JAP on July 10, 2008, 07:00:39 AM
I need the BEST Anti virus ever.
My laptop is VAIO so it uses Vista as it's operating system.
Can anyone please reccomend any antivirus? With site.
Oh, and... I don't really care if it's free or paid.

BTW, I just realized that my laptop itself already has Norton Internet Security 2008.
Is that good?

Norton just lets you know you have a virus and that it cant do shit to help you.

For antispyware I recommend Spybot Search and Destroy

For antivirus I would go with AVG

Yeah AVG free 8.0 works best, i can find a cracked full version too if you want, but i use AVGAS for spyware, works well for me also.

Err, well, I can find the software, but maybe not the crack.. ^^
AVGAS is still under one flag with AVG, yes?
Hmm... This is pretty difficult.. ;__;

GET A MACBOOK :V

If you're not able to use CommonSense™ Internet Security, then AVG and spybot should do you ok =o

Why people still use a software firewall when every router on the planet has a hardware one built in still eludes me, but even windows' built in firewall should suffice =o

:D you should have a software one if your connection doesnt have a router within it though

commonsense also saves you alot of money

Go with AVG. Norton is the Electronic Arts of virus protection.

Hmm, the problem is, sometimes Avast can't scan encypted files... How about AVG?
