What is the best Anti-Virus For Vista?

[Bill Yanaire]

It's not your fault. As long as there's Usenet, there will be this
"nonsense".

And you are THEIR King !

 

[Bill Yanaire]

Usenet rules:

Rule #1. If you can't stand the heat, then get the H-e-l-l out of the
kitchen! And, Rule #2. If you can't take it, then don't try to dish it
out! Rule #3. Rule #s 1 & 2 apply to Everybody, and that means you too,
Fool!

Rule #1 - Don't listen to Alias
Rule #2 - Don't get anywhere near Ubuntu/Linux/Unix
Rule #3 - Don't listen to Alias
Rule #4 - Microsoft isn't perfect but it's workable (If not Vista, than XP)
Rule #5 - Don't listen to Alias

If any of the above rules don't apply, use the following rule:

Don't listen to Alias

We use Avast on our workstations and personal computers and Symantec
corporate on our server.

I use Avast on my computers. Works great

Usenet has only ONE rule... there are no rules. Those that try to
impose rules and worse enforce them look well, stupid. ;-)

Here's a definition that fits you perfectly:

But many non-Alt groups have charters and complaints with headers sent
to the posting company that is used by a troll or violator of the
charter can get their account suspended, another Usenet rule you didn't
seem to know.

I guess your job as the Ubuntu Marketing Department wasn't paying enough so
you decided to join the rest of the world and hitch to the Microsoft
bandwagon. Good choice. Ubuntu is so Yesterday!

Actually, having Vista has had the opposite effect: it's lead me to
appreciate Ubuntu more.

That statement alone proves you don't have Vista.

Which one, sport?

No more lying!
We're all sick and tired of your bs lies!

If I said your name was Frank, you'd call me a liar. You call everyone
that disagrees with you a liar.

Wrong! Only the liars.

NOD32 is very good....I am on year 3 with no problems. And my last renewal
was 40 bucks for 2 years.

Robert,

Perhaps you are not familiar with the entire Kaspersky line? They also have
small business and corporate versions as well that can be deployed over a
server. The version I referred to is admittedly their "Home" version. But
all of the Kaspersky line is top notch.

 

[KickinChicken]

What games you figure to be playing with a GeForce 7300? Not DX10 games.

 

[Adam Albright]

Wrong! Only the liars.

So what do you call yourself since you are by far the biggest liar
here.

 

[NotMe]

it depends on what YOU like.
I use AVG free from http://free.grisoft.com
Others swear by Avast free at http://www.avast.com
Others say Clamwin from www.clamwin.org
Then there are the ones that say Kapersky or NOD32 are better.
As long as you avoid Symantec or McAfee, you 'may' be OK.

 

[Frank]

And your proof that it's a lie is? Your twisted imagination?



Not a lie. I also bought an ASUS motherboard. Course, it's triple
booting with XP Pro and Ubuntu and Vista will only be used for the new
games that require DX10.

More lies and deception. DX10 games are a long ways off pal. Plus all
new games that will play on DX10 (haven't seen any as of yet)will also
play on DX9. Game developers aren't about to cut their own throats.
Try again.

OH YEAH!!! Good call...hehehe...I missed that one...ain't no DX10 on an
old GF 7300!!!
More proof of his lies!
Thanks for the heads up on that one!

When games come out for DX10, I'll get a new video card. At present, it
works just fine for the games we play using XP.

Oh, so you're saying DX10 will never be used? Are you saying that games
won't require Vista? Maybe I wasted my money then because I don't see
any advantage to Vista over XP or Ubuntu for anything else.

All AV software in general is crap, because they cannot guarantee a 100%
protection from malware, and worst of all, they give the PC user a false
sense of security. Remember, it suffices for only *one* computer virus
to cause havoc.

Therefore, the best, and by far most efficient protection from malware
is to *avoid* installing it on the PC.

Something to think about:

Except that the masses of ignorant users are unable to learn enough to
keep that from happening - and then there are the exploits in
applications that get taken advantage of by new malware before the
exploit is public....

AV, while not perfect, is a must for any computer not in a secured,
locked down, environment.
