Re: Comparison of antiVirus/antiSpyware/Firewall Software

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You may have missed my point.
I am sure your able to see the US
is always under attack on the web,
This sort of attack comes from out side the US.
that was my point, picking a virus scanner
with this in mind would be a vary smart move on my part
I live in the US and dont protect my network
with the basic rules of the US ( outside the box )
Again my point was to think outside the box.
TrendMico is from the Far East.
Any one asking you to use Norton
is going to take your money, lots of it.

Well, I'm not in the US, but if I want to have a good one that works then that's one to have. I don't think the US gov't owns that. If anyone knows about viruses it'll be them. I've heard about certain viruses having different names in different regions, in part due to language, at least. A freeware scanner with the large commercial scanner sounds like a good idea, and I used to do that on Mac, MS-DOS, BSD, Linux and Unix so I'm pretty sure it can be done on Vista, but maybe not. I haven't heard from anyone who's done it for any length of time yet. Maybe Avast or one of the others mentioned here. Avast got some good marks for freeware scanners. Different routers may be something I'll look into, too. Someone mentioned that here.

Always Pick a Virus scanner made outside of the Country your in.
Norton is all owned by the US government.

TrendMicro is vary good software.
I used it & built some vary long lasting PC's
with it a few years back, (post 9-11 stuff on the web)
The same Virus in the US is not called the same in the far east.
so if there are 1000 virus's then there is 2 or 3 times more names
for the same virus with each software.

you go and make a better virus scanner & I will buy it from you.

When asking many techs about antiVirus/antiSpyware/Firewall software, they
each said Norton and MacAfee, as well as MS Defender/Firewall, and everyone
says these are great and are the ultimate for the job. Each renown and top
of their game, of course. But when I asked them about Trend every single
tech, every one, said this was a purely terrible program with more holes than a
coffee filter and they ALL advised me to STRONGLY and IN NO WAY use Trend if
I knew what was good for me and had any sense. Anyone heard of or have any
experience with Trend? Thanks in advance.
