Laura Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) If you're downset on paying, then ESET is the way to go. However, Avira, even the free version, consistently scores higher overall on benchmarking tests than any of the choices you mentioned.

Sbrideau Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I agree with what laura said. Good thing you're getting off Norton, and also, never ever go for McAfee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The difference between Avira Free and Avira Premium is so marginal that I couldn't suggest paying for it, but yes, Avira would be my choice. It also happens to be half the cost compared to NOD32, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Also, having used NOD32 for almost a year, it's not as good as people say it is, it just sits there not doing anything unless you scan for viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Adam Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I agree with what laura said. Good thing you're getting off Norton, and also, never ever go for McAfee. Sorry to jack your thread, but what's so bad about McAfee? I have that, and my dad (who's job is essentially to prevent viruses at his workplace (hospital)) ensures that it's great :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 In my experience with McAfee I found that it hogs resources, often misses viruses, and puts up annoying pop up messages whenever you change settings, download something, remove something, use a program that connects to the internet, and pretty much anything and everything else. Except for when it gets rid of files that aren't actually viruses. It doesn't tell you about that.
