PC Tools or Cyberdefender?

Lately I’ve gotten a few viruses, even though I had Norton anti-virus on my system and Eset – both were installed on my system at work.

I am looking at a paid anti-virus program because the free ones aren’t working for me. Some forums I looked at talk a lot about PC Tools. A friend also recomended Cyberdefender.

I liked that Cyberdefender seems to be a more complete package, covering anti-virus, trojans, spyware, id theft protection. PC Tools, also had a nice user interface.

PC Tools doesn’t seem as good to me, but lots of people seemed to like it.

I checked CNET for reviews, and they rated AVG very high, but my experience was not so good so I don’t know how much to trust them...

PC-Tools review is here (Editor 4 stars -only 3 stars from users):

Cyberdefender is here (got 4 stars from users):

I am leaning toward Cyberdefender which is cheaper for the paid version.

I have heard of PC Tools all the time, and Cyberdefender is not mentioned much but seems better program.

Which should I get?

I think that these days Avast is one of the best

Or just use Linux Very Happy

You can try Linux using a live CD (you don't even need a hard drive) Very Happy

Just download an .iso of a live CD distro. like Ubuntu or whatever.
Then burn it and boot from that dics.

I like Cyberdefender - it's really a great program, not to mention the 24/7 help support, which is really great, I mean, I don't have to worry if I have any computer problems, I just call them - It's awesome.
