My computer engineer does not install Norten’s anti virus. He says it makes the system very slow . Is he right? He installs AVG free/mcafee/ quick heel etc. Which are other best anti viruses at par with Norten?

Sir, i ve AVAST anti virus in my laptop and is doing well.
its home edition is free and is updated daily, there will not be any reduction in computer speed.
u can download it from www.download.com
make sure before downloading another anit virus software the previous ones are removed....otherwise two simultaneous anti virus may lock each other and that will cause damage to ur computer.

Mcafee and Quick heel are good options.

Thanks friends for swift reply.
Dear Kiran ji, can i download avast without solving the current problem i.e.
[When I am connecting the internet within few minutes following message is shown and internet explore stops functioning :
“Generic Host process for win 32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close.-------we are sorry for inconvenience----. Kindly tell Microsoft about this problem.”
Thereafter option is given as “send error report” “Don’t send”
The explorer works only when computer is turned off and restarted and within few minutes same problem occurs.]
Currently guardian anti virus is has been installed . Earlier I had better experience with avast; mcafee and quick heel.

Mr. Tripathi,
Yes, he is absolutely right! Please use a router, that way you don't need any antivirus software as much as possible. How it works is pretty simple: It is very difficult to detect the IP address of your computer through such device !

Mr. Tripathi,
No, simply installing an up to date anti virus software doesn't solve your current problem ! As I asked you in my previous thread, please provide the details of your computer configuration. Example:
You can find the above information: Go to Start -> My Computer (right click) -> Properties !
My gut feeling is that you need an appropriate Service Pack to get rid of this problem. Don't just go for complete reformat before simply trying to install proper SP !
Please not to hesitate to ask me if you have any questions related to any basic information about computer ! Please talk to your computer helper installing Service Pack (SP) as early as possible! If he did, and if you did have a genuine copy of Windows OS then contact MS help-desk directly!
Please remember, buying an anti virus software, you are giving privileges to that software company to peek into your computer ! It is all businees, hope you will understand !
Please use a router, that way you don't need any antivirus software as much as possible. How it works is pretty simple: It is very difficult to detect the IP address of your computer through such device for hackers!
FYI :- AVG & AVAST both are equally rated GOOD!

I have already used all of the above but norton is best of all
Unmatched quality & protection from net viruses

sir tripathi ji as i told u early morning so-"mapfeeor quickhell or garduain". is the best antivirous now a days.

Dear Raman,
It is windows xp professional;
version 2002;
servicepack 2

Dr. Tripathi, Sir, Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 is the best one and no other antivirus can challenge its utility. It has got antimalware software in it. It detects and removes viruses, trojans, malicious software, adwares and unwanted spy mails. You will never come across such problem any more. It costs just only Rs. 1,200 to 1,500/-. Regards.

Please, download these hotfixes from Microsoft:
Swami Sadashiva Brahmendra Sar (Nil) 27 September 2009
Dear Raman,
Today I restored the sestem to an earlier date (three weeks back -when system was reformated). Now it is working some how. Aforesaid message is not coming but another message came after sometime : "windows internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Please tell microsoft about this problem.
send error report/ do not send. "
after opting do not send, I am working on it. I think ,the main problem occured due to openning of multiple progams or functions simultaniously.
Kindly advise, whether updates sugested by you be down loaded directly from microsoft even when I am am not sure about gnuineness of current windows ?

Mr. Tripathi,
The cause of this error can be any number of things.
I would strongly recommend FireFox or Google Chrome browser, because Internet Explorer occupies lot of computer resources which are normally aimed at Servers. Since yours is personal desktop, need a light weight browser like the one I suggested above! Once you get used to this new browser(s), you wouldn't go back to IE any more !
