I just need a big list.

*I would like a name of the prog

*A link to that website

*And 1 Good Thing About it (only applies if you have the prog ...eg. It uses only 52kb of memory!!!!1eleven)

*Is it free or money needed ? (not that it matters )


I would just look myself but I have just given up on security. And I don't want to fuck up this formatted computer by installing and uninstalling 40security progs then find out the uninstalation is corruped blah blah blah its bullshit

anyways thanks in Advance,
SonicSam

Antivirus
Nod32 - Must buy, excelent software, very fast and reliable, updates almost all days.
AVG - Free, very good program, reliable too, fast and easy, updates almost all days.
Kasersky - Buy, the best all-in-one program (firewall + antivirus...), easy configuration, very customizable.
Panda - Buy

AntiSpyware
Spyware Doctor (free): Highly reliable, detects more stuff than adaware.
AdAware (free): Very easy interface and fast, with two clicks buhbye, spyware/adware/malware personally use this as a second option/scan.

The program list below shows which ones stoped every worm.
Avast!
BitDefender
ClamAV
eSafe
eTrust-VET

microsoft antispyware beta, my favourite

http://www.microsft.com/spyware

To be honest, I run no AV or Firewall neither an antispyware, yet I never got any problems with viruses, never.

TBH, it's all about experience.  You know that you oopening some random file from a random person isn't the best thing to do.

Your right nvez...honestly I don't think I really need one. But anyways thanks all of you. If I ever have progs I am sure to try one of the best ones you all suggested

Avast is what im using atm and seems to be pretty good tbh
Well ... for the link .... im sure someone posted it already or you can easily google it ... tis a big software

Thegood thing is that they have a free home licence and the protection is pretty good at relatively lower memory

If you want an av with even lower mem usage then go for f-prot but you need to buy that

get Pest Patrol, or of the best out there

Eset's NOD32 is the most effecient antivirus in my opinion. You wouldnt notice you had it had you not been told.

It takes somewhat seven minutes using around 5% CPU to do a full system scan on my computer.

free.grisoft.com grisoft antivirus works good for me
