[quote name="JimBeam" post="19217" timestamp="1109056445"] Just like people buying Windows when they can just get their hands on a copy of a Linux OS for free. The reason everyone buys Windows is because of it's reputation and popularity in the market. Most people wouldn't even know there is an alternative to Windows if you didn't tell them. I wouldn't have known about it if I never browsed the internet. It's very much the same story with most other software. People are going to buy the products they have heard of because they know the name and can trust it's quality just based on it's popularity. Again, if I never browsed the internet I wouldn't know that these free programs are out there and available to me... I would have thought my only option is to go out and buy Norton or McAffee from the store. Anyway to get back on track with the topic... my favourite Antivirus scanner at the moment is definitely AVG. Does a great job, auto updates itself whenever it needs it and runs scheduled tests all behind the scene so I don't even know it's happening. All I need to see is the results from the scans, and that's exactly what it does for me, so I couldn't be happier. It also costs me nothing, so how can I go wrong?

No, he'd better not. Linux only gives a false feeling about safety, but it's as vulnerable as windows if it's configured bad.

It's really more safely than Windows systems but it's not for talking here about

Linux needs more capable user - better administrator, that can controll system and its' programms.

Returning to the topic: me and my friends were using Kaspersky Antivirus a long time... It's very popularly in the former USSR countries.
But system is so high loaded when KAV is working... normal user can't do anything - just wait, or buy more powerful PC.

Now the best Antivirus program is only DrWeb (www.drweb.com) for me.
Low system load - fast working, good and accurate interface, small distribution.
It has trial license method and of couse cheap for buing.

Have a look on it! You'll be glad!

I use Avast Anti-Virus. I'm not sure if it's the best or not, but it's free. It hasn't given me any problems and catches all the viruses that seem to be thrown at it. I'm satisfied with it, and as long as it's free I'll continue to use it.

@ShadowPool : From what I see at http://www.bransoft.com/clamav.html , it seems that clamav does not have a version directly for Microsoft Windows systems. it seems that you have to compile the distro using VC++.
Is it right, or did I miss something ?

I use ClamAV for windows. The virus scannner doesn't have on accsess scanning, but it hardly uses any resources at all. ClamAV tends to get 3 or 4 updates every day! It's also open source which makes it 10x cooler...

Hmm... I am logged into my admin acct right now! I guess i'm guilty of lazyness! You can still install things on user accts in linux though! So I won't be getting online on my root acct any time soon...

USE LINUX YOU DUMMIE!

Because none of you is logged as root on a Linux system. and /home is read-only for everybody including yourself. Huh ?

Quite not sure !
I'm convinced that people who log to Windows with administrator rights will log to Linux with root permissions. And they will have exactly the same viruses...

By the way you can get not only one year trial but 2 years trial.

One year trial is great, I was afraid of one month trial, which is absolutely useless if you have no money for buying the sortware. One year trial is great, I will give it a try.
Thanks
