Hey guys, I have just fixed a "rouge anti-virus" problem (Which came from a torrent) by system restoring in safe mode on vista, now I'm on the hunt for "THE BEST" anti-virus software, whether it cost me $100 or not.

Please all I'm asking for is recommendations to the best AV around.

The 3 big ones are kaspersky, norton and mcafee but i prefer the free ones tbh ~ AVG etc etc

everything is free when u look hard enough...

malware anti bytes, run in safe mood on full scan, one of the very few free avs but is one of the best, i also got a umm "fell of a back of a truck" version of bit defender works pretty well!

Norton 2010 is good. I picked up a copy of NIS 2010 from ebay for $22.

A lot of people will flame Norton as their 2006-07-08 etc products were horrible resource hogs but the 09 and 2010 products really lifted their game, especially 2010. Installs in about 30 seconds and uses bugger all system resources.

Yeah I have malwarebytes and it is good, I'm looking at AVAST, so if any one has that, I know edge does, give me a quick review?

im using Bitdefender Gamesafe

Its created for gamer's. Worth a look imo

malware anti bytes + spybot SD on "dont allow any changes to this PC without coming through me first" mode picks up almost anything for me

Avast was installed on my computer a while ago, and it seems pretty decent too, its blocked a few nasties that might have come through.. My dad loves it, thinks its better then AVG Free, so it's worth looking in to. (oh, you asked about it lol!)

I would not get avg free, they limit it so they you buy the full version, i guess its ok for basic stuff but i found it useless

kaspersky is FTW bro. been running this for over 3 years and not a single problem

Kaspersky is the best....

been running trend micro pro for 2 years not one problem

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Ccleaner, it always picks up something

Kaspersky, without doubt the best anti-virus on the market. This is coming from a business point of view also.
