my tools : spybot, ad-aware (I make one scan a month; they never find nothing...), pest patrol (shareware version), spyware blaster, hosts file, hijack this... I don't use Internet Explorer except for winupdate; I use Opera. I'm very careful with p2p tools. and of course firewall (sygate) and antivirus (EtrustEz). |
@Dialhot
I too have gotten on the band wagon using AVG Grisoft as my real-time anti-virus protection and AVAST for deep scans. The results with AVAST found 4 infections and since I removed them my PC runs much better. Thanks Phil :wink: -BP |
I was going to upgrade to AntiVir premier version as I thought €20 (Euros) a year was a very reasonalble price for the upgrade.
Would you guys suggest I use BitDefender as my real-time scanner and use Avast for deep scans instead? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. :) |

S what is the verdict here
Use avast as your everyday scanner and something else as a deep scan I'm a bit confused,currently i only use avg free but tried insatlling avast but had both as real time protection |

Use avast as your regular scanner + E-Mail scanner, and use BitDefender as deep scanner. -kwag |

Any special care? Edited: And what about Antivir http://www.free-av.com/ I installed it after read about in here. Are Avast and BD better than Antivir? |

(and not only you, but the system also. For instance, you read a video, the codec dll is scanned. This codec need a color parser ? It is scanned also... en so on. An other issue can be a mutual lock of the tools : each one detecting than something try to "hijack" an executable when you launched it, and deny the laucnh ! This happens few times only but it is painfull. Quote:
But during this time, perhaps antivir has becomed better, I can't tell. All I know if that for the moment, avast is well. |
Thank you guys for all your info, it is still slightly confusing which is the best as all Anti-Virii progs are constantly updated and bettered.
However I think I will install Avast for my deep scan and BitDefender for deeper scanner. I hope this works out. :D |
Thanx guys ,i will also try what Zyphon is doing :D

I downloaded both AVAST and BitDefender as well, and are now running in my computers. I have also scanned this computer with both programs, and fortunately do not have any viruses, however, according to BitDefender, I have 34 I/O errors.........no description of such errors other than the number of errors given in the report.........Now I have to hunt for this errors and correct them.any suggestions on how to do it? I would also like to thank everyone for their contribution to this topic. Regards Otto |
