Post by: Josetann on September 30, 2006, 11:43:02 AM: Personally I use AVG. It's free for personal use (legally free I should say, not "found a torrent for it" kind of free), and works great.

Well, I use that on my Windows box, and nadda on my Linux boxes. Guess I like living dangerously!

Post by: b a l a n c e on November 02, 2006, 06:36:03 PM: I would have to say Norton Anti-Virus is the best seeing as i very very rarely have anything leak through this steel wall protection.....And if anything does leak through its something dumb life ''pop-up ware'' or something

Post by: guestolo on November 02, 2006, 10:10:13 PM: I have a few Operating systems
I don't recommend using more than one AV on any system, unless you use one for background scanning
I use one of all the following

AVG
AVAST
AntiVir
BitDefender

I like all, depending on what the users experience is, depends on what AV to get

For ease of use>>AVG
For something similiar to Nortons>>I guess I would say AVAST>>(Edit)Not GUI, but scanners incorporated
AntiVir>>Very good reputation, most users don't know this
BitDefender>>No realtime protection with the free version, keep this in mind, but a very good scanner

Post by: friedemann on December 25, 2006, 09:58:58 PM: I use AntiVir which seems to find alot of bugs....including one that AVG missed or itself(AVG) was causing color problems to my monitor. AntiVir saw it right away and asked me if it should fix that? I was considering getting either another video card or monitor because that is where I thought the problem was. Hey, that sold me right there,,,and it too is free.

Post by: kneemick on December 28, 2006, 11:15:52 AM: Currrently on different computers I am running Norton, Nod32, avast, AVG free and MacAfee. Of the 3 paid ones I find that Nod32 is the best as Norton is a resource hog, MacAfee is a bit clunky. Avast is excellent for free av (and registration process is painless), and AVG I think is also good however I have installed other av's on computers that have AVG and they have found viruses. Hope this helps.

Post by: kneemick on December 28, 2006, 02:17:18 PM: Forgot to say, in spite of wailing and gnashing of teeth from eg Symantec, avast also appears to integrate with Vista ok so if you are thinking of upgrading this may be the way to go
