Paid vs Free Anti Virus

[RAF]

Which do you prefer?
I prefer paid anti virus, much more reliability. Symantec Endpoint is pretty good, reliable too.

 

[BlackRa1n]

i also prefer paid anti-virus , but do we really pay for them these days ? cracks and serials are every where .

 

[flAmingw0rm]

I prefer not having an antivirus, because all of them suck.

 

[Atrain]

I prefer paid.

Like stated above, no one pays anymore though.

 

[Lunagron]

I prefer paid, most free anti-virus don't give live/run-time protection.

 

[Zennywop]

I ususally use PAID ones but i like FREE ones because of the word FREE makes me more interested lol

But paid is better.

 

[mikej]

Paid becaus some free ones contains Viruses.

 

[Atrain]

Mikej, that is why you go and download the free versions from the official sites.

 

[mikej]

Yes Obviously but some still contain Viruses.

 

[Acid_Fall]

Licenses found on the Internet never last long, so I switched to Free antiviruses. If you try Avira AntiVir or security software from EmsiSoft, both free versions, you will never need a Paid Antivirus. In my opinion, Avira beat many known paid antiviruses for its detection rate. Besides that, does not exist an antivirus that can protect you 100%. I don't say to buy an antivirus is like throw out the money, but with Avira installed I don't feel the need to change. Enough said, I think.

Paid are better, in some cases.
However AVAST! free is quite good.

 

[champ_20]

prefer paid antivirus...................also use symantec.................

 

[d3Gr34t]

AVG is the only free I used, not going for free anyway

 

[Nicco]

I prefer paid as well. Avast anti-virus and firewall professional is nice and a lot more reliable than the free home version.

 

[LoveToHax]

Paid is definitely better lol...

 

[Techno]

Paid, Always has it's advantages. So there is nothing you can really compare.

 

[Some Random Skid]

I just go for paid. Kaspersky all the way.

 

[Techno]

Eset's Nod32 is amazing. I usually stay with that.

 

[Nicco]

I just go for paid. Kaspersky all the way.

Nothing personal, but is my opinion, Kaspersky is shit. Literally everything can go past it.
My shitty anti-virus that my ISP gives me for free that I never use even blocks viruses that a paid Kaspersky doesn't.
