Ky Lane Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I use AVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneis Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) If you're going to use AVG, do the webmasters of the world a favour and don't install the AVG LinkScanner option as it's increased global traffic significantly http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/03/1411254. An alternative is McAffee's SiteAdvisor (for Firefox and I.E.) http://www.siteadvisor.com/ A good (and free) software firewall is Comodo http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/overview.html Edited July 9, 2008 by shaneis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billabong Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 BitDefender all the way There is also Nod32 and Kaspersky's. All 3 are the top rated antivirus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsm3d Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hi, With XP64 edition I found NOD 32 V.3 very fast and stable, a good web traffic control and compatible with internal XP Firewall (As I have Router with Firewall I only use XP firewall in addtion). The think i like NOD32 is, when surfoing if a website have a worms or somethings inside, NOD disable the worms and give me the hand to continue surf on in secure mode. You can also think to install Spy Bot search & Destroy, free and very good to protect your computer about Spyware and Rootkit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayrona Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Agree with Benoit... I was using AVG and after installing xp 64 bits, had troubles, active perfil changed, problems with kernel files.... after instaling nod 32...... I am flying... very nice!
