I got the korean V3 pro anti-virus installed on my comp.

The damn thing is all in Korean. Is this better than AVG?

Im used to using AVG(english).


Also, anyone know what PC-Clean is? This was another korean program installed on my comp.

V3 is the most useless antivirus I've ever used. It might be better nowadays, but 5 years ago it was shit driven off of nationalism.

It might sound racist, but I refuse to use any Korean software...

For instance, I think VLC is way better multi-video player than whatever the Korean equivalent is, even though people keep raving about it (the non-VLC).

I've been using AVG for over 2 years now without any problems.
Avast is also supposed to be very good.
T-dot, don't forget that you should only ever have one AV program installed at a time; Just like video drivers and firewalls, having more than one can cause conflicts.

At an previous school our computers were not working properly and when it was suggested to management that we had a virus problem they said V3 was taking care of the problem.

I then proceeded to uninstall V3, without permission, and put on a pirated copy of Norton. I ran a scan and found over 30 viruses that V3 didn't catch despite being 100% up to date on definitions.

V3 bites.

Anyone notice that taskbar icon for V3 is very similar to Kaspersky's? I have wondered if they have some kind of relationship of if it's just a mere coincidence...

AVG free edition has been working great for me for 3 years.

Adaware failed recently but Spybot: search and destroy seems a good replacement.

This site is good for free software....
