I don't feel secure with Avast anymore...

I feel there is better out there...

I need something that protects me from virus, spywares, adwares, trojans, "those littles virus that infects USB!", about averything!

What is the best for this?

Or what is the best combo (Maybe if I have to use more than 1 program)?

Avira or AVG

Eset NOD32 is another decent contender.

NOD32, if you're willing to pay for subscription services, Avira is a good free one, AVG is lacking in features, compared to other offerings, and tbh, Avast should protect you from pretty much everything. What makes you want to switch?

And for god's sake, DO NOT INSTALL MULTIPLE ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMS ON A SYSTEM.

Do that, and your computer undergoes ragnarok.

I plugged my USB memory on my pc and nothing happends... but then I plugged it on a friend's computer with Kaspersky and it detected some virus on my USB!... From that moment I felt Avast was lacking in protection

Don't worry about to paying once for an antivirus... I just need good protection....

a) It's essentially IMPOSSIBLE to be safe from anything. I'm deeply involved in cyber security; I know. Most consumer software is signature-based. Signatures are based on what's already out there and discovered. You can be infected by something undiscovered. It's that simple. Consumer malware protection is reactive, no proactive.

b) If you want a solid combo that will mitigate somewhat successfully, you need a trio of the following:
- BitDefender or Kaspersky 7 (not 8!) - these are the most comprehensive and least intrusive, as well as the least consuming on computer resources. Kaspersky 8 is simply terrible. Run quick scans whenever you want. Full scans weekly or monthly.
- a-squared Hijack Free - this is a great FREE program. It lists what's up with your computer, what it finds to be strange, and then you can look it up and verify if things are in fact wrong, then quarantine them.
- CCleaner - just a solid solid app to remove old temp files and potential malware that's poorly written. Run everyday before you shut down.

c) Ensure you're running the latest version of whichever web browser you use. I personally use Firefox.

FYI, that's the trio I use. I've been virus free for a LONG time. No issues here.

(I'm saying this is the most ultimate way to keep your virus safe in the entire universe. If the people can break into government computers that have layers upon layers of intrusion detection and malware detection systems, they can also break into yours. The trio I recommend is just to protect your machine from the daily, general crap out there.)

Hope that helps!

I love these threads. It doesnt really matter. If you catch something from a decent coder, youll never know it. Get a rootkit? (a real one, ring0) youre SOL.
