Saya lagi cari-cari anti virus yang top bgt buat laptop saya.
Awalnya sih saya install anti virus AVG free 8 tapi ketika saya mau update karena udah out of date koq ga bisa? Udah gitu lambat banget prosesnya, makan memory banyak bgt. Akhirnya saya putuskan untuk tidak pakai lagi saya uninstall itu AVG 8 trus install Kaspersky 2009.
Namun saya menemui kendala ketika mau install Kaspersky 2009, yaitu masih ditemukan anti virus AVG 8 sehingga Kaspersky meminta untuk menguninstall dulu karena tidak kompatible. Saya sudah pastikan bahwa sudah diuninstall dan folder AVG sudah saya hapus dari program files, saya cari-cari service AVG juga tidak ada namun ketika saya coba install lagi Kaspersky menolak dengan alasan yang sama. BT dah..
Akhirnya saya cari-cari solusinya di rumahnya om Google, namun masih belum ketemu juga. Yaudah saya coba cari-cari informasi tentang anti virus yang paling handal. Saya menemukan beberapa informasi perbandingan antar anti virus, diantaranya :

Pada website tersebut membandingkan antara Avira Antivir vs Avast vs AVG dan lagi-lagi Avira Antivir masih tetap menduduki peringkat atas.
Wah jadi kepincut hati ini rasanya setelah tahu Avira Antivir, saya memutuskan untuk install Avira Antivir saja sebagai pelindung laptop saya. Semoga saja tidak mengecewakan. Ya sudah saya download dulu yah heuheue..
Semoga informasi ini bermanfaat.
Matur Nuwun
