YnHDaRkMaN · Oct 3, 2008, 04:49 PM

been hearing lately that Avira's better than Nod32... anyone know something about this?

thanks in advance

PangingJr · Oct 11, 2008, 09:19 PM

been hearing from who and where? any links?

BlueMak · Oct 11, 2008, 09:33 PM

what, you think you are too good for avg? It must be nice to sit on your mighty throne on the Everest!

From the three, I would go with antivir.

I haven't heard anything about comparisons between Avira and Nod lately but been quite busy, but I have used nod for a good few years now, and still am and haven't had any problems at all with it. But that said, I have never tried Avira.

AV comparatives. Avira got one of the highest scores if not the highest. Also, the site is pretty reliable in my opinion.

I'm using NOD32 at the moment, but the licence will expire in a month, so I got me a 30 day trial of Avira. We'll see who'll get my money at the end of the month Avira or ESET

Neither.

avast! antivirus - high security and protection from malware with anti-spyware and anti-rootkit software built in

get the home version

Partizan · Oct 15, 2008, 07:22 AM

zaim can you provide any proof or review?

I never had good experience with Avast. The only good thing is, it's light on system resources.

Anyway this thread is called "Avira AntiVir or Nod32?"

BlueMak · Oct 15, 2008, 11:48 AM

I have heard good things about Nod32 from a couple of people online that I trust their opinion so it must be good. I would still go for antivir after reading that "benchmark" in the link provided above. You will probably be ok with either one.

YnHDaRkMaN · Oct 17, 2008, 09:11 PM

well, i'm now using the Personal (Free) version of AntiVir, and it seems ok (found like 34 threats!), thanks a lot for the help =D

Partizan · Oct 17, 2008, 09:13 PM

The only drawback of free avira is the lack of an email scanner.

kn00tcn · Oct 18, 2008, 05:52 AM

but that's only good for local email clients right?

i've got antivir on xp &... nothing on 2k & vista

cant stand avg's interface/bloat

Partizan · Oct 18, 2008, 06:20 AM

Yup, local email clients like thunderbird, outlook express, outlook...
