Hi guys,

My current virus protection (Bit Defender) is about to expire and before parting with £29.99 for another year i thought id do some research. Does anybody recomend a good full protection system that is better value for money? Any help would be much appreciated.

:thumbsup:

Eset`s Nod32..Never had a problem with it..Very low resource usage...

Best of all ive never picked a virus up in the 3 year ive used it..

Out shoddy that i might have got its stopped it in its tracks before intrudin me pc :thumbsup:

Grab yaself a 30 day trial and test it.. http://www.eset.co.uk/

But make sure u have completely removed any other AV u have running :thumbsup:

Yea i found that to be the case..

When i used free AVG then went on paid version for some reason it found somethings on the 1st scan :S

But wasnt overly keen on AVG due to the high processing of it and all the false positives it would throw up :mad:

In my personal experience if found the free AV`s to be a fail in the end and honestly dont think id ever go back to free AV`s and due to the fantastic experience ive had with Nod32 i honestly cant see me using any other AV.

Eset NOD32 is the nads....as mentioned, never had a prob with it, works fine, auto update, low mem usage, been virus free for ages.

There is a 'Trial Version' knocking about somewhere, that runs out in over 1 million days, not bad for a trial :p

I gonna try running the trial version when my registration for bit defender runs out (14 days). Do i have to completely uninstall my current protection before i even run the trial though?? Thanks :)

AVG free is a bit bloated nowadays but AVAST is top notch. I know loads of PC administrators for large companies and they swear by AVAST for home use. I have never had a infection with AVAST.

Yea totally remove old AV as can cause serious probs which i had the misfortune of having ...

But its deffo worth it tho..

And no need to worry as the trial is fully functional and will run just as a fully paid version so no need to worry about it missing anything :thumbsup:
