Before I have Norton Internet Security which was Pre installed when I bought my Laptop(Compaq C700) LAST FEB 2008. FYI the OS is Vista Home Premium. The performance was really disappointing.

 

Then I bought the ESET Smart Security and installed it on the machine. So far I have no complains with the performance and the laptop runs much better/faster.

i had just finished evaluating the following AV software last week as part of our IT security roll out project for one of our clients:

 

Trend Micro

Kaspersky

Sophos

Avast

Norton

 

my takes:

 

Trend Micro, medyo mababa detection rate.

Norton, high detection rate but consumes high system resources

Sophos, lower detection rate than Norton, but higher than Trend, but consumes the same resources as Norton

Avast, high detection rate, low resource consumption, but reportorial requirements are not complete.

Kaspersky, lower detection rate than Avast, low resource consumption, but more reportorial requirements.

 

Ranking:

 

a. Avast

b. Kaspersky

c. Norton

d. Sophos

e. Trend Micro

When I was working as an OJT in the world's number 2 IT brand (hahaha hulaan! ^_^ ), they were using Symantec AV and ZoneAlarm firewall for the corporate PCs. It was very effective but consumes too much memory. But because we always keep our laptops in good shape, walang kabagal-bagal. When I left that company, I still looked for both Symantec and ZoneAlarm. I'm still using it now and no problems whatsoever.

ive been with bitdefender, kaspersky and eset.

 

thus far eset is my choice, relatively small footprint and masipag sa AV definitions. i was led to believe that KAV and bitdefender are too, but in the past while trying out or exploring 0-day malwares i would get 2 or 3 infections from both.

contacted the vendors themselves to provide a 30 day POC license.

loaded it into an isolated network environment.

used our criterias for evaluation.

 

I also do IT work and other items to put into consideration are:

 

1). Number of users in your environment.

2). Hardware specs of your computers.

3). Applications loaded on your computers and servers.

4). Type of security needed on your environment. This depends cz some only need AV and others AV + firewall and other stuff like that.

 

If your on a corporate environment, I'd pick an effective AV (i like Symantec AV, not Norton) with a very good central administration console which will make the job easier.

If your on a personal desktop or laptop, pick something effective and free...there are tons out there but make sure they're valid ones. AVG is ok i guess but I'm using ESET NOD32 AV

which does the job and leaves a very small memory footprint on your systems (it's not free though). Try Spybot too to clean spyware and adware...they're good too.

 

Hope this helps! :D

para sakin there is no One-All solution pag dating sa ganyan. Pwede naman magtago ka lang nang copies nang magagandang anti-virus sa isang separate CD.

 

Meron akong ginawa na SD card (write protected). Laman Procexp, Spybot S&D, Hijackthis, Symantec AV (hindi yung norton), AVG at AdAware, etc. Kapag meron inaayusan na virus ang problem. Yun lang ang kelangan ko, pasadahan mo nun, at syempre kahit papaano dapat may alam ka sa registry.

 

Siguro suggest ko lang, install ka spybot (yung teatimer lang kelangan mo dito), at AVG or AdAware, yung ad aware lang ung active na scanner, tea timer para protection lang sa mga startup or registry inputs.
