hi, i use trend micro. Its about $25 on e-bay. The 1 i got can be used on 3 comps and automaticalyy updates. It lasts for 12 months. If you need to format or re-install on another drive it lets you and you dont lose the licence.
I havent had any trouble since installing back in jan.
It doesnt do a scan of your comp everytime you start it like norton and doesnt use as much memory.

I use AVG (free edition) good program, if you pay for it then you get internet security, spryware. & AV in one package.

AVG by GRISOFT.

I run AVG free as well, also Ad-Aware and Spybot for spyware. I only tend to get a deluge of viruses when visiting sites that aren't recommended by legitimate software producers.

Zone Alarm Security Suite
it moniters EVERYTHING
every last bit of data going in or out it moniters and moniters the behaviour of programs to provide even more protection

AVAST for the win

AVG [free on the net] with spybot is the way to go

AVG make sure you get pro more secure than free version. Nortons is resource hungry and the latest mcafee has killed windows xp2 for me twice.

I run McAffee antivirus and it updates every few days and ti me it pretty good but can be a memory hog when you run a virus scan.
