Anti-Virus
« on: November 27, 2010, 10:22:42 am »
Hello, I bought Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 a week ago, and I've been using Kaspersky Anti-Virus for a few years now.

However, I've heard about Microsoft Security Essentials being free and very good, anyone using it that recommends it?

I've never used Security Essentials, so I don't know about that.

But, from my experience, Trend Micro works pretty well.

Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

In the last few months, a huge variety of anti-virus came to the market, because before people only used from a range of 5 (Norton, MCAfee, Kaspersky, Panda, AVG). It's good to see more availability, though :)

Paid version? If yes, how much?

Paid version.
I have something slightly older than the Titanium stuff they're offering now, but it was the top one, so it would be similar to the Titanium Maximum Security. I think it was called Trend Micro Internet Security Pro, but I could be wrong as I don't have my laptop with me.

Think about it: the company that makes the software that has more holes than the Titantic wants you to download more software to fix the holes present in the original build.

 patches for software that has holes in it makes the stuff from that company look bad.

Microsoft makes Windows. The security of Windows is exploited by almost every computer virus known to mankind. Rather than just fixing the holes in the software they wrote, Microsoft instead produces an additional security program designed to fix the holes in the program they write and maintain. It takes up extra disk space and given how well Windows is written for virii...  ::)

That's exactly why Microsoft anti-virus might be good, the company that makes the Anti-Virus made the OS, so it must be good, even though it may not be good

Can you run that by me again? I'm not sure I understand how "it must be good, even though it may not be good."

It's probably just translation errors  :P

I mean, if we know that the Anti-virus makers are the OS makers we suppose the antivirus is good. However, it may not be code, even though I'm certain it is (in Microsoft's case)
