How can we detect and delete virus in our system without any antivirus?virus



Article by lolita is very good, may be it will provide a good help.



Still I will add very small tips.



Look for tasks which are running from Task Manager, if you find tasks which are not initiated by you try to close this tasks.



Some tasks are critical and cannot be closed like svchost



If some task is closed and it reappears it means that this is sort of virus.



Viruses are very tricky they will keep lot of backups and disable your rights for accessing them.



msconfig32 is also one command which can be used from start -%26gt; to know what are the startup programs, you can judge by self by checking the details of these files by Right clicking properties and checking name etc in version tab. If you find reliable info, then keep the task else rename the file.



You can even check for services which are running in the background by Start-%26gt;Run-%26gt; Services.msc



Check for reliable services, else remove this services from registry.



It is really a cumbersome task, but not difficult, practice makes men (women also) perfect, after softwares are developed by human with some logics, above are the some logics, but what software does is, it check inside the file also, which can not be done by us, unless with some reverse engineering knowledge,

AVAST is free at Snapfiles freeware. Works great!
Comodo



The firewall and anti spy-ware are also worth while.

If you use the Free Anti-Virus provided by AT&T Yahoo, do you trust it?

My Norton Internet Security is expiring soon %26 I'm planning to get ZoneAlarm Pro for firewall. Have you have good or bad experiences with the CA Antivirus provided free by AT%26T Yahoo? If it's not good, I'll either get the ZoneAlarm suite or upgrade my Norton.



If you use the Free Anti-Virus provided by AT%26T Yahoo, do you trust it?vista



First of all you need to understand that the AT%26T Yahoo protection package is not free. You are paying for it as part of your DSL fees.



I use the package and am very happy with it. I recommend it highly. I have been infection free for almost a year. I use this package with two additional programs and get great protection. I use the Window Defender Beta 2 and SpywareBlaster with my package. The additional Anti-Spyware programs are necessary since no single AS program can protect against all the Spyware on the net.



Get WDB2 and use the learning sites to set it up and use it properly and you will get great protection from it.



http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security...



Get SpywareBlaster here:

I also recommend you read this site. You will learn a lot about malware and protecting your computer. It is well worth the investment (because you get a great return) of time.

  • Helpppppppppp! I don't want to spend money AGAIN, how do I get rid of Norton Antivirus AND viru

    I remembered that because I have Comcast internet, I can get McAfee AntiVirus for free, so I downloaded it. Yet, I cannot fully download it (I don't get the virus scan out of all things!) because I still have an old version of Norton AntiVirus on my computer. The Auto-Protect won't enable no matter how many times I try so I'm ready to get rid of it. The problem is, I need the original CD to get it off my computer. I don't have it! I really need to rid my computer of viruses, FAST! Is there any way I can do this without the CD? Please help!



    Also, if I can do that, I want to download McAfee again to run the scan but I'm afraid my system might be reinfected by System Restore. Apparently, I'm supposed to turn System Restore off, reboot in Safe Mode, run the scan, and then turn on the computer as well as System Restore, again. How do I do this? I need detailed answers, please help!



    Helpppppppppp! I don't want to spend money AGAIN, how do I get rid of Norton Antivirus AND viruses?!?windows



    I just had to uninstall Norton off my grandma's computer because it was blocking her new cable internet... *shakes head*



    Norton actually has a program you can download to uninstall it. I'm putting the link to the one I used for my grandma's computer as the source, so hopefully that will help you!



    Good luck, Norton's a silly little program.

    Antivirus dilemma..?

    i happen to like both the avg free edition and the mcafee internet security that i have right now. is there anything wrong in keeping both of them? if so.. which do you think should i keep? i cannot afford upgrading my avg to internet security so i have to install mcafee internet security that i got for free instead, with antivirus, firewall and all.



    and also, what do you think of norton internet security 2008? i got a full edition of it for free but is not installing it yet. i am thinking of just replacing both avg and mcafee with it.



    Antivirus dilemma..?



    mcafee is like a virus



    Use zonealarm Pro and AVG or sophos



    Antivirus dilemma..?antivirus downloads



    actually you should never install more than 1 anti virus, they both interfere with each other, norton is complete crap and dosent detect anything, mcafee uses alot of system resources, and avg is basicly like norton if you want a really good antivirus, download nod32, its been proven that its the best antivirus available, heres the link to get the full version for free, this is 100% legal



    http://www.mininova.org/tor/659732



    if you dont have a torrent downloader, get utorrent, it uses less system resources than any other program,



    http://www.utorrent.com/download.php
    I would boot McAfee and Norton, keep AVG free edition. If you are using Windows XP you can use that firewall, if you have a router it probably has a built in firewall. Take a look below for what i use on both my gaming pcs. All are freeware programs.

    Which anit virus program is better? Norton Anti Virus? or the virus progam that SBC provides you wit

    Which anit virus program is better? Norton Anti Virus? or the virus progam that SBC provides you with, free?abtuvurys 2005



    Nortorn鈥檚 Anti Virus is one of the top choices today that you can purchase.



    I am not a total Symantec (They own Nortorn鈥檚 Anti-virus) lover, I just give insight from experience and professional training.



    While Nortorn鈥檚 Anti-Virus has some issues with being a memory and cpu resource hog, it also uses that memory and cpu for a better scanning engine.



    What others don鈥檛 tell you because they think their 鈥淔REE鈥?anti virus are better because they have it and couldn鈥檛 figure out Nortorn鈥檚 Anti-Virus is:



    The top 4-6 Anti-Virus companies share the same database. These are companies that charge you for Anti-Virus and have some of the best think tanks in the world. One week McAfee might come up with risk assessment of a new virus and they get Props for finding it first and being the first company to find a cure for it. That doesn鈥檛 make them better; it鈥檚 just about who finds it first and bragging rights etc.



    The newest threats in the last few years have come from what they call 鈥淏lended threats.鈥?



    If you do some research on that term, you will find that is how most virus issues have found their way into the 鈥渇ree anti-virus鈥?programs. Those are some of the issues that I have fixed with users (former users of AVG etc..) on a monthly basis.

    Hello,



    AVG Free Edition is the best Anti-Virus for free.



    You have to update it every day.



    Antivirus Programs?antivirus protection



    http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/...
    PCTools antivirus is one of the best working free anti virus programs out there. It removed tools that wonderful paid for and updated Fsecure can't find. If he gets money pay for pctools spyware doctor and it upgrades the virus protection more. I would recommend installing it on safe mode (hit delete while booting)
    I have at home avast for home i am very satisfied with him
    Theres no really good FREE antivirus', simply because they don't get enough money to upgrade their product.



    I would suggest using Spybot - Search %26 Destroy and Ad-Aware as spyware removers, and avast! as an anti-virus.



    You might want to check out a NOD32 trial, I believe its the best antivirus so far.
    In my honest opinion.... use avast. It has 12 month free regristration, and you can keep re-registering it. I been using avast for the last couple years and it is amazing! I even loaded it on all the computers in my office. Great free antivirus, with real time scan, and it updates the virus database in it everyday. This is your best bet.

    Antivirus?????

    If free download of antivirus is any good, why pay good money out for the likes of Mcfee or Norton?



    Antivirus?????agv



    Very good question and I would like to see other people's answer to this one. I personally have AVG Free Edition because it is better than Norton or McAfee.



    When I first got my new laptop just before Christmas it came with a 60-day free trial of Norton 360 installed but I still dumped it and got AVG simply because AVG is better, faster and doesn't take up as much disc space as Norton. So that's my answer.



    Antivirus?????antivirus software



    You have seen the light
    because it is the assumption that the paid for item must be better than the free one.also with the paid you get support and probably do not with the free.alot of the free programs are bogus ! that said, i will never get Norton or mcafee, they = crap ! i did pay for cyberdefender, 30 $ for legit adware,spyware,antvirus,scam protection, e mail protection,safe site checker, all in one, with full support if there is a problem.
    Don't pay for anti-virus software,it's no better than the free

    Antivirus software question?

    Between avast home edition and avg free adition which antivirus software would be best i use the pc often and for gaming online.



    Antivirus software question?anti virus scan



    These days you need a whole lot more than just a virus protection. Only about 15% of all malware is viruses. The rest is worms, trojans, phishing schemes, spyware, etc.



    Here's some ideas to make Internet Security Suite (securitycenter) for free. Free is always the best.



    --------------------------------------...



    1. For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V...You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict...(did I mention that you MUST uninstall any old anti-virus products?)



    For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir庐 PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than many of ''paid-for'' anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. And did I mention that it's free!



    Download here:



    http://www.free-av.com/



    Avoid an anti-virus called AVG (free version). It is wildly popular but has poor virus detection rates.



    ----------------------------------



    2. For your Anti-Adware and Anti-Spyware needs...............(use at least 1 anti-spyware, but 2 is OK). Do a scan with it on a regular basis.

    If you want to download free softwares or any other thing that you might find on the internet like free antivirus, spyremover music e.t.c try this first download the free limewire download software from the net source is placed below:



    then configure it so that it can access the net share some of your stuff over the net.



    If the software is fully installed then you might find it quiet easy to download free stuff over the net I tell you this stuff is great Imajine I downloaded norton 2006 free of charge.



    This is how it works the lime wire installed in your computer shares the files you have selected that you may want to share over the net like many more people so that when one might be looking for any stuff and I mean any that can be transfered over the net. can be accesible to you. it like a new network that people share their stuff over the net so all you have to do is type the name of the material you want and wala it there. it even has its own anti spy,adwaer,virus installed so you cannot download any ''hot stuff''.

    Can you recommend another good antivirus and firewall other than avast and zonealarm?

    Centrally managed antivirus software?

    I do computer work for a local volunteer fire station. So far I've been able to piece together several workstations (10) and a server with file shares, database for their stats, printer.. etc



    The problem is, most of these workstations are aged, as they've been donated, and I've gotten lucky enough to get them running, well enough for a work computer anyways.



    I was hoping to find a free centrally managed antivirus solution, so the server could download the updates however often, and the workstations would get it from the server. I'm hoping it'll use less resources than each one having to go out on the internet every time, checking on their own, and then downloading the updates all the way back down.



    Low cost might be ok too, but this is a small place, with very limited funds... it took me 3 months of talking to get a backup solution for thier run database... and that was %26lt; $100...



    thanks for any advice



    Centrally managed antivirus software?antispyware



    I don't know of any free solution, but you can get the low priced Spyware Terminator Corporate Edition. Spyware Terminator is an antispyware, but you can embed the ClamAV antivirus into it to get effective virus protection. A 2 year license of Spyware Terminator Corporate Edition is available for free to non-profit organisations too.

    hey dear i think it's the best firstly u can download the a demo from : www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html



    If u like i can send the crack for it



    just enjoy
    There all the same really, I would stick with Norton as your used to it. If you want a good free anti-virues software go to iobit and download Advanced Windowscare V2 Personnel.
    Beter than Norton my computer works great and I dont pay a dime!
    Well, I think you should upgrade to Norton 360. And then after, if it expires, you can extend it for another year for a cheaper price. Norton 360 rocks, as it has all the functions that Symantec has except for the new ones like Norton Antibot.
    AVG is free but the detection rate is not as good as Avast. Last time I was infected by a virus which circulated from MSN, AVG did not prompt me anything but when I had Avast intalled, a windows pop up saying that there is a potential threat.



    From there on, I have been using Avast. So far so good. There is no pop up notification asking you to purchase the software. The answerer probably forgotten to register for a FREE activation key.

    Which would be the best Antivirus %26 Firewall soft ware for my Laptop ( Celeron 1.4 GHz 256 DDR 40 GB HDD)



    some softwares on my mind are:



    Bitdefender Pro 9 ( with firewall)



    PC - cillin internet security 2006 (with firewall)



    AVG free edition + Outpost pro firewall ver 3.0 or higher



    AVG free edition + Zone alarm



    I am looking at security (i do a lotta net all kinda sites!!!) plus minimal impact of system performance and speed...



    P.S: Also is there a problem if i use keygens to make the softwares work?



    Hoping fer some Pearls of wisdo frm fellow netiznz!



    Antivirus issues... Advice Wanted...?product key



    Bit Defender is high rated, Pc-Cillin has gone down in quality from what I've seen lately. With limited memory, your best bet might be the AVG/Zone Alarm combo...both are fairly light on memory usage...remember to keep everything updated no matter what you use...and to answer the other question, if you can find reliable, repeat RELIABLE sources for keygens and cracks (a large percentage, if not the majority, may be malware in and of themselves), they do often work...without details, I'll admit to having used a few myself, and they do work...good luck tracking them down, though

    Dumb antivirus/spyware question.....?

    can i run cox security suite antivirus and ad-adware at the same time? my computer is running extremely slow and has a lot of pop ups (all my pop up blockers are on!) so i did an antivirus scan w/ cox security suite and it found no infections, then i did a scan w/ ad-adware and it found 688 critical objects? why such a big difference? oh, and one of the pop ups i keep getting is critical notice i think from micrsoft or somewhere telling me personal info is being viewed from my computer, would I like a free scan or to download the program? also someone told me to try AVG, but can I do that w/ cox antivirus and ad-adware?



    Dumb antivirus/spyware question.....?security



    first of all, don't download that program you mentioned (or run its scan) sounds like it's a Trojan. Research the name that appears for the ''program'' for instructions to remove it or repost here.



    Download and run CCleaner (just run it with the default settings) then run the Ad-Aware scan again. You'll get a better idea what infections you have. http://www.ccleaner.com/



    You didn't mention Spybot,



    http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html



    After updating switch to advanced mode, to do so select 鈥渕ode鈥?from the toolbar and check 鈥淎dvanced Mode鈥? it will ask if you want to switch modes, say 鈥測es鈥? Now you have multiple tabs on the left of the screen, select the 鈥渟ettings鈥?tab then click on the 鈥淚gnore products鈥?icon. Under the first tab 鈥淎ll products鈥?right click your mouse in the main screen and select 鈥渄eselect all鈥? Now click on the 鈥渢ools鈥?tab and click on the 鈥淚E Tweaks鈥?icon. Make sure that you check 鈥淟ock Hosts file read-only as protection against hijackers鈥? After its updated select the 鈥淚mmunize鈥?icon, click on the green + to immunize your system. This will help prevent any new spyware/malware infestation by blocking new items. THIS MUST BE REDONE AFTER EVERY UPDATE SO THAT YOU ARE PROTECTED AGAINST THE LATEST THREATS.

    Should i switch to symantec antivirus?

    Hello everyone,



    i'm a developer and i have all kinds of servers running on my computer. so i need really powerful anti-virus and firewall to secure my system. i've been using norton internet security for years, but it's such huuuuuge pain in the butt. i've decided to abandon norton internet security from now on and use symantec antivirus instead. most of my friends told me that symantec antivirus is an awesome choice (and i can get it from school for free). but i've never used it before and uncertain if it's suitable for me.



    do you think this is the right move?



    what would be your recomandation?



    thanks!



    Should i switch to symantec antivirus?spyware removal



    Symantec and Norton are basically made by the same company but NIS and SAV are geared for different users. Norton products are more home/small office oriented and can be used standalone. They get updates off the web and are more ''user friendly'' for the average person. Symantec Antivirus requires a client and server setup to get updates from so you can't just install SAV on any PC by itself unless you have a server set up somewhere for it. Other than that, it's just as effective as Norton if you are otherwise happy with it.

    Stupid Norton AntiVirus Again...:(?

    Hey,



    I have recently seen a pop-up from Norton about an Invalid UDP destination port. It says the attack was from my computer and I am wondering what to do to keep me safe without buying another AntiVirus because I got no money right now.



    I am hoping I won't have to reformat my computer again. (I had Norton AntiVirus and I still got a bad virus) I just hope that I won't have to reformat my computer because Norton doesn't help remove viruses at all.



    Having Norton is the same as having no AntiVirus apparently except Norton just tells you that your computer has some virus.



    If there is any free way to get rid of this virus or w.e. it is, please help. I have confidental files on my compputer and I already konw any fix form the norton company.



    THANKS.



    Stupid Norton AntiVirus Again...:(?spyware remover



    If you are using a currently updated version of Norton, leave it and continue using it...until the subscription runs out. Then opt for using a free Anti-virus program, that's all I use and many others would agree.



    The warning popup issued, sounds like it was the Norton firewall, warning you of an outgoing connection originating from your computer and trying to gain a connection to the outside. Sounds to me as if it stopped that connection.



    Whenever you are in doubt, keep the infections in check by using one of these three 'Free' anti-spyware programs randomly. All three come highly recommended.

    should i change my antivirus?



    Should i change my antivirus?what does real-time protection means in anti-virus softwares?symantic



    As a security professional with over 17 years in the Information Technology industry my advice to you would be a resounding YES.



    Invest in a proper secuity suite that includes: (antivirus, firewall, antispyware, etc) that is preferably from one reliable vendor (like McAfee or Norton) and then ensure it is properly configured and kept completely up to date.



    When you manually hit ''scan'' you are initiating the virus scanner and this is a manual scan.



    Real-time scanning means that your scanner is ALWAYS scanning as you open files and download files... and you do not have to manually scan anything.



    You should never have to run a scan of your system manually if things are set up properly... and as long as you learn enough about your security program to know how to properly respond to an alert if and when you are presented with one and you use your suite with safe browsing habits and common sense.. you will be way ahead of the pack.



    Good Luck



    Should i change my antivirus?what does real-time protection means in anti-virus softwares?viruses



    real-time means its always scanning.



    if bitdefender is not real-time its of little use.



    try www.avast.com for a free one
    If you are surfing in a safe manner, I wouldn't even recommend security suite. More software on computer = more code to exploit. I would recommend to change the antivirus. NOD32 or Norton will be some nice choice.
    Try either AVAST or AVG Anti virus for free , both are good and

    Antivirus Reviews: Weakness?

    Hii all,



    I am kind of surveying on which virus cannot be recognized by which anti virus. As an example, my AVG free edition caant detect ssvichost.exe virus.

    I think it will help lot of us to choose our antivirus.



    Thanks.

    The most likely reason your anti-virus didn't detect this virus is because you didn't keep the virus definitions up to date.

    Antivirus for Linux, Installation Issues-please help!?

    Our class is installing antivirus for Linux, Fedora Core 3 on 2 clients and a server. I can download and install Avast-Home Edition (Free), but when I try to run it, the only way it will work is by scanning ONLY the home directory, standard scan. If I try to scan the entire system and/or do a thorough scan, the system freezes. It will lock up the entire computer and not recognize the keyboard or mouse so the only way to shutdown is to hold the power button. Every time I reboot, Avast makes me re-insert the registration key before allowing me access to the scanner. I have already uninstalled all previous versions/downloads of antivirus as well. Please help!



    Antivirus for Linux, Installation Issues-please help!?viruses



    Krypt is correct as you have 2 options and both will require that you have the root password for the machine. You probably do as you would have needed it to install Avast in the first place.



    1. Login as root and run avast



    2. Login as a normal user -%26gt; open up a terminal -%26gt; type ''su -'' and enter the root password. run avast from the terminal.



    Note that Krypt asked to run ''su'' as oppose to ''su -'' in step 2.



    ''su -'' will give you root's environment (path) and ''su'' will not.

    Avast antivirus has deleted my system32 files?

It is really a typical type of problem please help me out.



    Avast antivirus has deleted my system32 files?vista



    It may be too late now, but for future reference:



    ALWAYS, QUARANTINE FIRST, THEN DELETE LATTER!



    Malware removal is somewhat of an inexact science. Mistakes can and do happen. Often. False-positive detections happen more often then the anti-malware industry cares to admit. It's their dirty little secret.



    Needed system files can be mistakenly flagged as malware. Quarantining allows a way to undo any incorrect file deletions, easily, if it ever becomes necessary. When the anti-virus vendor finds their mistake and corrects their signature definitions, for you, the user, it is too late. The needed file has already been permanently deleted. And then it's, ''tough luck Charlie!''



    A file in quarantine is totally safe. It can do no harm.



    You should quarantine everything for a month or so, then if all is OK with your computer and all of your programs, then you can delete. Some anti-virus programs give their quarantine a cutsey name like ''Chest'' or ''Vault'' but it's one and the same.



    Good luck.

    Norton Antivirus - 450 licenses?

    Yes, I know Norton sucks and that there plenty of better of antiviruses, most of which are cheaper or free. I don't plan on getting it. I don't want to hear any comments about why I'm asking this question if I don't plan on buying or using it.



    The question is: What is the cheapest I can buy Norton Antivirus, about 450 licenses for? (for Windows not Mac or anything else)



    I want to know what is the lowest price for that LEGALLY.



    I don't want to hear about buying one copy and burning it onto a cd to put on other computers. I am talking about buy 450 licenses.



    Provide a website or I can't give you the 10 points(sorry, I can't just take your word)



    If you could, find the lowest price for 450 licenses to w/e Norton(it has to be Norton) has for spyware, adware, and firewall too. They probably have a package for those three and antivirus, so just put the link for that. (also just for Windows)



    Norton Antivirus - 450 licenses?windows



    I have no recent experience with it, but I remember that Norton Antivirus has a ''corporate'' version that is licensed per seat rather than per copy. The cost per license varies with the number of licenses. From their web site, it appears that 450 licenses would cost $32.30 each. See the links below.



    They also appear to offer other license options that they term ''cost-effective.'' However, they give only a phone number, rather than details. That number is 1-800-631-8118.

    Norton Antivirus Activation?

    I bought a computer that came with a 60 day trail of Norton Antivirus 2006 (NAV6) well, it expired. Now I went out and bought Norton Antivirus 2007 (NAV7) and tried installing it. First it told me to get rid of NAV6. So I tried, it wouldn't let me for some reason. It froze when it got towards the end, so I closed it out. When I tried to uninstall it again, it kept saying there was a problem and gave me a link. I clicked it and went to their website, right? Well they said I was able to get a free download of NAV7...so I took it seeing if I'd get any luck. Well, I did. This time NAV7 installed from the file they gave me, but now it wants an activation code. I tried putting the code in that I got from the one I bought at Walmart, but it keeps saying invalid code? What should I do?

    What's the best Linux Firewall and AntiVirus/Antispam Software?abtuvurys 2005



    Linux has a built in firewall called IPTables and viruses don't do much harm on most linuxes.



    Of course Redhad 7 is pretty old. You should have your web host install a web based admin tool such as Webmin or cPanel so you can manage stuff easily via the web.



    Or you should quit them and switch to a company that uses more current linux versions and offers web based management.



    The only case I would use A/V software on Linux is if I was running a mail server, or public FTP, then I would use ClamAV.



    I use Futurehosting and they rock. (Virtual Private Servers)



    Sounds to me like you need managed hosting though, or need to learn more about being a Linux admin.

    No, this is what you are using: Red Hat Linux version 2.4.7-10 OR Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98 or both. By the sounds of it, you lack the expertize to do this, no offense intended.

    Can I use more than one antivirus?

    I have Norton antivirus, but not sure I like it, sbc yahoo has an antivirus that comes with my service, but I have not downloaded it. I do not care if it is free or I have to pay, I just want one that works.Can I use more than one antivirus at the same time ? I use Super Antispy for spywear and it appears to work well, but I am concerned about antivirus.



    Can I use more than one antivirus?adware



    My computer came with Norton preinstalled. I used it for a couple of months until the free trial ended. I then download the SBC(now AT%26T) Yahoo Online Protection Package. It required me to completely remove the Norton program before it would function. This is because you cannot run two AV programs at the same time. They conflict and provide no protection at all. The two of them can also do physical damage to your computer. (Rare, but possible).



    I recommend the AT%26T package. The AV program is excellent and is not an attention whore like the Norton was. The only time I get bothered by it is when it runs a scan. I have mine set to run scans every three days.



    It automatically updates. You will see an update Icon in the SysTray when it is doing this. The Auto update feature allows for updates 24 hrs a day.



    You will hear negative opinions from people about the Protection package provided by AT%26T (SBC). Most of these opinions are from people who know nothing about the programs and have never used them. I have used it now for almost a year and am very happy with it.

    Can Norton SystemWorks (i.e, Norton Antivirus) 2005 work without Norton Personal Firewall?

    As you might well be aware, Norton Personal Firewall is an abysmal piece of software.....it hogs up my RAM, takes ages to load up or display an alert when it has blocked something, and always has conflicts with my LAN. I was wondering if I could delete the Firewall alone and try to make the AntiVirus suite work with ZoneAlarm? Would this work? The only reason I want to keep the AntiVirus is that I still have more than half a year on my subscription and the free AV programs out there arent rated as highly as Norton's (the opposite seems true of NPF compared to ZoneAlarm). Can I do this and run Norton AntiVirus 2005 with ZoneAlarm or is it not advisable?



    Can Norton SystemWorks (i.e, Norton Antivirus) 2005 work without Norton Personal Firewall?agv



    The best way is to try to unistal and do a manual install (not automatic) and dont click to install Nortron Firewall, another way is to see if you can uninstall it sepratley from the ADD/REMOVE programs panel. If you cant you can always Disable it from Running, Tho it May conflict with Systemworks and may end up being glitchy.



    To disable, Go to Start%26gt;RUN and type in MSCONFIG then here, click Selective Startup, Then go to startup tab, and disable anything thas says norton Firewall, becareful, since you are still running System works and may accdencitly disable a startup program from that.



    Also since your there, Go to Services and Click Hide Microsoft Services, and Try to find any Services that point directly to the firewall software, not Symantec itself. Uncheck those and Click apply, Restart and it should be disabled.

Personally I am not interested with such website. But thanks to AVG for helping such viewers.



    Does invention of virus and antivirus in computer is neccessarry ?anti virus scan



    And yet another idiotic answer from chrishdman. How about this: you try to hack my ***. Why don't you just find out my IP and then hack me? Oh wait...my PC has a firewall that's rated for Fortune 500 company servers! That might do something! (note there is no such rating, I mean my firewall is one used by very large companies).



    To the intelligent asker:



    The reason they put viruses is twofold:



    1) It's just plain damn amusing



    2) If the virus/hijacker keeps taking you to a porn site, look at the site for a while. Let everything sink in. See those ads everywhere? Every time someone sees those ads, the porn company gets paid. That's why they keep redirecting to their page so they get ad money.



    The virus itself was invented as a practical joke. However, back then, there were no laws to regulate something like that. So people go it into their heads that they could screw around.

    Ubuntu, Do you need antivirus,firewall software ?

    As you can probably tell I am a Windows user but Ive seen how good Ubuntu is and I decided to give it a go on a spare PC of mine.



    Ive got it all installed,which used up some of the old grey matter.



    I am however most impressed, especially seeing as its free.



    Now to get back to my question.



    I have heard you dont need antivirus software, firewall etc. with Linux. Is this true ?



    If I do need to install some kind of security, could someone be so kind to point me in the right direction.



    Many Thanks.



    Ubuntu, Do you need antivirus,firewall software ?anti virus



    You're highly unlikely to get a virus in linux. Here is a list of Linux viruses:



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lin...



    If you compare that to the amount of viruses targeted at windows, it's nothing.



    If you're paranoid, go to the add or remove programs thing. And search ''virus scanner''



    Also, don't log on as ROOT (administrator) when you don't have to. You're extremely unlikely to get a virus though



    Ubuntu, Do you need antivirus,firewall software ?auto protect



    Ubuntu, out of the box, is fairly secure. The root account isn麓t even activated and there isn麓t anything listening to the internet.



    You will find that you can easily add firewall software and antivirus scanners by searching for them in Synaptic (System -%26gt; Administration -%26gt; Synaptic Package Manager) but for the most part you won麓t need them to start.



    Firewalls in Linux are actually a small part of a much more powerful tool called iptables. With gui tools like Firestarter you don麓t have to know all the details to get set up but you might be surprised at what else it can do if you take the time to learn it.



    Kudos on a successful start!

    Just put my daughters computer on the internet. I thought it had antivirus, however had obviously expired. Yes i believe we got some viruses a worm and not shaw what else.

    Is it ok to run two antivirus software at once?

    Hi! I am a descent computer user, meaning I know how to mod computers, and I know how to remove spywares, I know how to fiddle with regestry etc. But I have to know this. I know that most antivirus programs confilict with each other when you are running them at the same time. (Meaning running real-time protection at the same time.) I know that they conflict, but one time, I installed two antivirus programs at once, and I had no touble with them. (Antivir and AVG free Edition.) I know that there should be a conflict between these two, (well theoradically...) but I know seen no problems at all. It is ok to run both of them at the same time? (Maybe more protection???)



    Is it ok to run two antivirus software at once?antispyware



    Avast and AVG run ok together. AVG and Antivir run ok together. Avast and Antivir have a small confliction however.



    Is it ok to run two antivirus software at once?best antivirus software



    It is said that if you try running two anti-virus softwares, damage could result for your computer. However, if you try installing one software system while another already exists on your computer, most programs wont allow you to. You have to pick one or the other. Choose Norton though, its what I like. Btw, anti-virus software is only highly effective when updated regularly, no matter how many ones you have.
    You already know, so, if you want to run two then go ahead. It's your computer.
    no only ur computer speed will be slow nothing more protection against virus with 2 antivirus at a same time
    It is possible that 2 AV programs running live scans at the same time can cause your computer to crash. They see each other as a threat, try to eliminate each other, and go into an endless loop. It doesn't always happen but it could. (Personal experience showed me this to be true.)

    Two Antivirus?

    I have the SBC antivirus but it doesn't really do much and doesn't delete my viruses so I downloaded a free one, but when I was installing it it said that having two antiviruses could create system problems. I don't really want to uninstall the sbcone, but is it safe to install the new one. The new one is called bitdefender antiviris if that helps. Also, do you think I'd be better off going to a store and getting one. The viruses that I have don't sem to be doing much, but I'd like to get rid of them anyway.



    Two Antivirus?antivirus downloads



    The use of 2 or more anti-virus programs at the same time can cause major conflicts. The 2 scanning engines will fight each other to scan every file that you read, write or execute which can cause a slowdown. For the same reason, using 2 A-Vs can cause you to have less protection from the various malware, not more.



    (Using an anti-spyware with an anti-virus is good, however and is recommended)



    You might consider choosing just one A-V and removing any others.



    The free version of BitDefender has no real-time resident protection, only the paid-for version does. The free version is an on-demand scanner only.



    There are much better free alternatives such as Avria Anti-Vir:



    http://www.free-av.com/



    and Avast:



    http://avast.com/eng/free_software.html



    Good luck.

    Free firewall?

    hi



    i use windows xp, have dsl net (2 mb/sec), i have avast antivirus, i want to know if a firewall is necessary, because everytime i activate zonealarm , free version ,it ends up blocking my internet connection, i cannot surf, it works for some time then againit gets blocked , inspite of my isp ip address being in trusted zone,in addition zonealarm is huge about 10 mb , and they remind me of updates which r 16 mb, also tried jetsico, can u recommend a good, free , low size, less irritating, firewall, it should be free and just do what a firewall does but silently, not block my net connections !!, i have avasti antivurus its free but still works so well !!



    Free firewall?antivirus protection



    You are correct. ZoneAlarm will slow down the connection you have to the net. Best free firewall to go with is comodo.



    Free firewall?computer repair



    sygate personal firewall but it is no longer updated.



    the most important thing to do is, anyway, learn the basic function of firewalls, since they all work the same way.



    your net connection is blocked probably because you told zone alarm somehow, somewhere to block it in certain cases.



    firewall are like every other computer programs: if you don't know them, they hardly do what they have to.
    i use AVG and its free
    You should try Comodo Firewall. It has a learning mode thats easy to understand. The first time an app tries to connect to the internet it will ask you to allow or deny it. You can check a box before you allow or deny to make a rule to always use that answer when that app connects. It is the best firewall available and it's free:

    Kindly tell me the name and website from where i can download free firewall for my pc. please also tell me that whether i can use it with McAfee antivirus installed.



    isn't it interfere with antivirus software already installed



    Free firewall for pc?????????????antivirus scan



    Why don't you try Zone Alarm firewall. I guess this is the most popular firewall for home users. Just google for ZoneAlarm and then download their basic version (it's free).



    Free firewall for pc?????????????computer security



    http://www.iopus.com/guides/free-firewal...



    here is the link go and u will find list of free firewall and their download link. njoy
    I will recommend Comodo Personal Firewall. It's the best firewall one can possibly get, and it's free too. It does a great jodb protecting your computer.



    http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/
    fren, if you get free firewell, pls tell me also.
    Zone Alarm is Good



    http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm-Window...



    .But B4 U Install ZoneAlarm Disable the Windows Firewall first...
    u can use comodo firewall pro.
    Windows firewall is enough to protect you, if u want another firewall, u have to disable windows firewall first otherwise they will be conflicting each other and you will face another problem.



    You can search the whole web for a free software (like zonal alarm) but then if you are working on a office network then you have to configure your firewall to access on the office network, if your pc is used at home and not connected to any network u dont require any configuration.



    For antiviruses (Mcafee or norton or other), if they are not having inbuilt firewall, they will not be interfering with any other seperate firewall programs. But if they do have (like their internet security versions) they will be interfering anywith any other seperate firewall programs. In that case you dont even need other seperate firewall programs.

    Judging by the behaviour, I am sure your pc is infected already with a virus and that's what is preventing your antivirus from being installed.

    1. Open the registry editor. (Start%26gt;Run%26gt;regedit)

    I have an antivirus software...?

    I have an antivirus software that i didnt install. I dont even know where it came from. Nobody else uses this computer. I was just using my computer one day and then a program i didnt install started checking my computer. Just a few minutes ago, I let the scan run. It said I had Trojan! I knew it couldnt be true so i checked my computer with AVG(the one i had installed already). It found nothing that could even be related to Trojan. So my question is, is this program a virus? It is free and says that the stuff cant be removed by the free version. Is it trying to get me to buy it? Please help!



    I have an antivirus software...?aurora



    These things happen when you use an administrative account for browsing . In an administrative account, any software that enters in your computer can install itself, and then cause further trouble. If you use a limited user account, then the damage is contained to that account only, and can be easily detected and removed by logging into administrative account.



    -you need to disable system restore



    -boot in safe mode



    -run the av/aspy scan

    AOL Active Virus Shield powered by Kaspersky is currently the best free anti-virus (99.62% detection rate). The most popular free anti virus programs are AVG Free and Avast which are recommended above Norton and McAfee but have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans. If you want to pay for an anti-virus NOD32 is highly recommended. You can download AOL Active Virus Shield, AVG or Avast from the links below. There is absolutely no spyware and they are completely free but your system should only have one anti-virus program.

    BIT DEFENDER 10 IS GOOD
    Use AVG Free Edition



    Its free (no crack, it really is free) and every bit as good as any antivirus out there that you have to pay for.
    All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.After you install any of them,make sure you update them to get the full affect.
