Hi there, title says it all, running windows 7 if that even matters, i've got kids, and my fiance isnt very computer savvy either so i just need something to protect from them downloading silly things. I will be getting these from pirate bay unless you know a better site for it. Thanks!

Microsoft Security Essentials and MalwareBytes are the two best/highly recommended hands down.

Vouch for Microsoft Security Essentials. It's completely free and has yet to throw any false positive for me so far.

I won't recommend downloading a pirated antivirus, for all you know you may end up downloading a virus instead!

What about AVG? I heard that one is pretty and would appreciate any opinions on that.
I've used Norton on and off for the last 5 or 6 years, they seem to have improved it since I started using it again a couple of years ago. When I used it for the very first time it wasn't too good.
What do you guys think about Norton?

AVG detects simba as virus.
i.e. it's a complete liar, dont use it.

Isn't Norton paid? Unless you are downloading pirated version or using a trial/free version which i wouldn't recommend.

I don't recommend downloading any pirated antivirus software.
If you are going to put a virus into a program wouldn't someone downloading antivirus software just scream "Easy access I have no form of protection already"?

i use AVG and i just googled license key, and i use ccleaner, and a programm that follows with AVG but u need pay for it ( googled license key) AVG pc tuneup :P never had a single virus :P

I have the paid for version of Norton internet security. I got it quite cheap (around £20), and that was for 1 years subscription on 3 computers.
Even though AVG reports that simba is a virus, I thought there would be a way to set it to allow it.

Doesn't say that simba is a virus with me , never said b4 …. i never had any problems with AVG …

avast free version

Im down with Mcfee and Microsoft security essentials, the tow seem to pull a good job together

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, nothing to say badly about them

Not using it as an admin saves you from a lot of things.

I would strongly recommend downloading a pirated PRO version of Malwarebytes. It's the best one out there, hands down.

Kaspersky PURE. <3

Ok, malware bytes it is! thanks lads, xoxox

lot's of people recommend malwarebytes.

personally i don't see anything wrong with norton, it has worked perfectly for 2 years for me now, detects every virus and i download a lot of crap :p

VIPRE Antivirus ;)

Microsoft Security Essentials. Hands down best anti virus

Microsoft Security Essentials is the best.

I always use a combination of Microsoft security essentials, Malwarebytes Anti-malware, CCleaner, and common sense to secure and maintain my machines.

I got norton and avast on my alienware.

Norton is good but it tends to gunk up the pc with a lot of unnecessary lag and then blocks random stuff

I suggest you Quick Heal is very good antivirus. First month you can use trial version than after you can buy.
It is a best internet security software, now track your stolen laptop with laptop tracking software, best virus protection anti spam software, top antivirus software.
I am using this antivirus since last 2 months and i don't face any type of virus.

I use Kaspersky with a legal license but I recomment Avira AntiVir. That program picks up faster than U.Bolt runs 100 meters!

My advice would be malwarebytes but since you have other people using the computer make sure to run scans with other programs such as spybot every so often and various other removers/scanners.

I use AVG and it doesnt register Simba as a virus?

this, got it setup at a company with 400 computers with a monthly scan from like 30 other virus protectors.. and the only one that picks stuff up ever is malwarebytes & security essentials will catch stuff from web pages etc

i have vipre

I have had Norton for about 3 years now. I haven't really had any problems with it besides it thinking some things I download are viruses (some things I download aren't used by many people) , but that's easily fixable. I more recently got SpyBot. That's good at detecting adware, malware, spyware, and other privacy invading things. That's been working well for me so far too.

i have vipre

Really?!? :D <3

From personal experience I would have to recommend MBAM (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware( and if you want to run it alongside MS Security essentials i cant see any harm done :)

I would stay away from buying any as MBAM and MS Security Essentials are all you will need unless you're going crazy on the Japanese pr0n.
