so would you recommend Avira or Avast? I know one will always be better than the other… I really like the interface of Avast but somehow i got a trojan on my machine. I a really paranoid user and am always very safe online.
@Cudgelwap1 i had comodo, it was a hellhole, i would be forced to click and let every single file to be installed if i would install a bought game… and as u said, it is very complicated, with comodo my computer crashed, couse i did not know what to do -.- but it’s fine now, as i have avast and a new pc
@cudgelwap1 Could you do a review for iolo system shield? I recently purchased system machanic to try and bring my computer back to life and it worked. System shield came with it for free, so curios to see how it would do in a test like this.
I have to agree with Dieselman. I see all people with these kind of comments:
“COMODO is the best & it’s free”
“Nothing can pass D+”
“Nothing can beat COMODO”
“av sucks! COMODO beats it”
Note: av is the name of the AV, they put it for everyone, depending on the video.
@Cudgelwap1 I don’t think so cudgelwap, comodo’s antivirus alone is good and its better then avast why don’t you review it again if you don’t mind and then we can compare them.
@Cudgelwap1 On my big HP pc my file insight from Norton 2011 keeps popping up & telling me that there is a file in my pc called audiodg.exe that has eaten 100% of cpu on 1 of my drives.When I locate the file,it says its empty.I dont know if I should delete it,or what to do.Alot of ppl are haveing this problem.Is this a virus?At start up,I become confused as to w/to check off in Msconfig.I cant go to classes cause I cant walk anymore,but I need help.Do you have a video on this reg start up thing?
@Cudgelwap1 Hi-I hope you’re doing well..I’ve come to you because the strangest thing is happening to my lil netbook.I have free microsoft security essentials & the program itself on my desktop has been disappearing after I run the scan.I went to the ms site to download it.It caught trojans & exploiters & nil since.It is acting very strange! I have to restart my netbook to totally erase it sometimes,or slide my curser over it.I ran malwarebytes.Nothing.Any advice?I also have ccleaner.
@Cudgelwap1 Well, they updated AVG so now the free version has “Identity Protection” which is basically heuristics like Threatfire because it actively scans what programs are doing and it doesn’t just check the code. I still like Avast though for it’s web shield because I hate downloading big files and then finding out it’s a virus or I can’t scan it with VirusTotal because it’s too big.
@Cudgelwap1 Hey I Am Just Going To Buy An Anti-Virus So Which One Do I Buy I Am Choosing Between Avast And Comodo
@Cudgelwap1 Which Is The Best Anti-Virus According To You
Which Is The Best Anti-Virus According To You Cudgelwap1

how do you record while it is restarting?
I don’t think that theme pack was dangerous. It brought up themexp which is not an unsafe site.
@Cudgelwap1 What do you think of Nod 32 or Kaspersky?
Hey, did you try pcmatic?
@Stranskii Try learning better English before you start an argument.
you clown really belive you 16 year old us kid know it better than AV Comparies for example. Avast and his greatz shields. Made for idiots like you .

this is what i like about avast it will block viruses before you have it, unlike AVG thats shit you get the virus then it tells you its blocked

Lol, do a review of Navashield.
Great review! Thanks a lot for your excellent job!
@mafioso4842 I am a youtube partner, so time limit for youtube is not a problem. It is more about the time I can allot to making videos.
@Cudgelwap1 As far as I know there is no time limit anymore (for most users)
@Cudgelwap1 Well, they updated AVG so now the free version has “Identity Protection” which is basically heuristics like Threatfire because it actively scans what programs are doing and it doesn’t just check the code.

@mafioso4842 There is only so much I can do in one video.
After Malwarebytes you should scan the computer with Hitman Pro and Norton PowerEraser.
People stop with all this Comodo crap. All of you are Languy99 brain washed freaks. Avast did good. Adware is ot dangerous. Just annoying.
