I have used most, Norton's used to be regarded as one of the best but like all the others have gone down the gurgler since NAV 2000.

I use NOD32 which you pay about $40 per year although don't buy from the Aus people as they are rip offs, buy from the overseas place, free wise Avast although it can be a bit hungry for resources on slower machines.

Have only ever used AVG Free edition and will say you may as well run the computer without AV as it was next to useless not to mention also a bit of a resource hog on slower machines.

I use AVG Free Edition and Zone Alarm Pro. Covers everything.

Darrens right about the free one I've seen it happen.

 

[pow3rslave]

yup, AVG ftmfw

 

[S Pack]

I use AVG Anti virus and AVG Anti Spyware and their Virus Removal Tool. They are free and work better than some of the paid versions out there. Simple to use but chew up CPU like a mofo. I usually run them when im not using/at the computer.

Avast ftw!!

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.

Actually the anti virus part of AVG is exactly the same as the pro version, the pro version just offers more protection in the way of spyware and firewall.

Have only ever used AVG Free edition and will say you may as well run the computer without AV as it was next to useless not to mention also a bit of a resource hog on slower machines.

I don't agree with this as AVG has just won some award for being a 100% virus detection AV program.
