    I`ve been using AVG for a number of years and I`ve never had any problems whatsoever.

    There is no single antivirus programme in existence that will find and kill every type of malware. If that were the case, we`d all be running it. ;)

    Symantec/Norton is complete crap and I wouldn`t have it anywhere near my system. It`s a resource hog and is way to problematic.

    Regards Howard :)

    is there any else than AVG? because w32.rontokbro.U@mm, Trojan.Qhosts and w32.rajump are kinda running wild in my campus' pcs and i found out that AVG could not able to detect them... one of them is quite troublesome as they lock all those admin control with password, it happen to a few of my campus friends' pc who used either paid AVG or free AVG version....that's what is worrying me from switching NAV to AVG...

    P/S : few of my friend's pc was infected by mentioned trojan on above and after their HDD is cleaned, they could not able to open window task manager or use the "run" function....as msg will pop out saying "locked by admin" or something - is there anyway to cure this situation other than reformat them?

    As I said, no single antivirus programme can possibly remove everything and Symantec/Norton is just a pathetic piece of software in my opinion.

    If you don`t mind paying for antivirus protection, then Kaspersky or Nod32 are two of the very best.

    As for task manager being disabled by an infection, it`s usually fairly easy to solve.

    Get your friends to join Techspot and follow all the instructions HERE. Then, they should open a new thread in our Security and the Web forum and post the requested logfiles.
