Hello people.

I'd like to know what do you think about the 'AntiVir Personal' anti-virus
program, is it good?

I have been using it and I liked it. What do you think about it?

I like it also. It found and repaired an infection AVG could only
find.

I have noted a certain instability with the last 10 days or so
updates. Sometimes it boots with the guard enabled as I set it.
Sometimes it doesn't and when I check it is not set to auto start the
guard. When I try to set it it locks up. Other times when the system
is running I see that it is not enabled and right clicking the icon in
the time tray I see that the Activate AntiVir Guard selection greyed
out.

I've scanned with the Win UBCD and I'm clean. I might give A² and a
few other programs a run to make sure no malware is on the system.

If the problem is in the AV I'm sure they'll fix it soon.

I use it. I have been using it or about 2 years our so. Only ONCE did
I have an issue and the next update (3 days later) fixed that. I have
turned several of my die-hard Norton using friends on to this and they
are STILL thanking me.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Installed AntiVir and it seems to be doing its work.
I haven't yet had any viruses so I don't have tested it 100%

We've chosen AntiVir for our ancient laptop.
The main reason was that AntiVir is using far less memory than the others.
Other strong points: Fast scanning and and frequent updates.
The negative factors are lacking proxy-functionality and the considerable
size of the updates. If that's not an issue, I will absolutely recommend
AntiVir.

I've been reading different tests on antivirus freeware frequently the
last three years, and installed different antivir freeware on several home
computers with W95, 98, 98SE, ME or XP Home.
The test results are varying quite a lot, but my overall impression is
that AntiVir, Avast!, AVG and F-Prot are all doing a good job. (I have no
personal experience with BitDefender, but that one seems good, too,
according to the tests.)
The programs have different strong and weak points, so a recommendation
should always take into account the specific needs of each user.

This isn't an issue. The PC is slow (a 150MHz Pentium with 32MB RAM and a SLOW
1.5GB hard drive). The updates download at a decent speed over dial-up.

I've installed it, it didn't slow down the system like Avast! and uses less mem
than AVG.
