Anti Virus Programs, What do you use?

[Xerogen]

So what does everyone use? I just got fedup with Norton AV, I think its crap, and the worst of all I find it slow... I just switched to ESET NOD32 AV. So far so good, fast, safe, better than Norton. Not a big performance impact while scanning, I can play crysis just fine with it running. Good UI with good advanced options.

AntiVir now known as Avira

Can be found at http://www.free-av.com

Use NOD32... and so does the hospital i work at... given the HIPPA violations with patient confidentiality..... i figured it must be decent.

spybot search and destroy (i dont think its antivirus, but its keeps me clean)


Now i got that song stuck in my head
"aint no body fresh like me, im just so fresh and clean, so fresh and so clean clean"

... What the hell have you been listening to? Zest commercials?

Anyway, I didn't really like Avira (AntiVir) too much. I had it installed on my PC and my g/f's, but it's pop-up thing seemed like adware to me, really annoying. I removed it from both machines and I've got Avast! back on 'em again and all is well again. I like Avast! better IMHO.

It is an ad

But it is an ad for their own product. I don't see any harm in that. Oh and the ad only shows up after an update.

For a free Anti Virus program it's one of the best... Not I said ONE, not THEE

wow didnt know only 1 ad can do so much mental damage to u guys lol

I have been using avast (free edition) for 3 months in vista 64 bit. I would recommend it to anyone. I used to use AVG but they didn't do 64-bit at that time. Still looking for a good low intrusive spyware. Adaware just didn't cut the mustard.

Ya'll bunch of n00bs.

Updated for Vista 64 too. Why run Vista 64 anyway?

Another thing I forgot to add, I used to use Norton, but I'll never put another Norton application on my PC again. I swear, Norton does more damage than most malware :/

They also like to take over your security settings in your browser at random and cause you to not be able to connect to the internet. I deal with this issue on a daily basis with both Norton and McCrapy.

I use a very old version of McAfee.

I use AVG Free Edition.

I use AVG Free Edition.

Only until May you do. Then AVG is forcing users of the free version to upgrade to 8.0 or face no more updates. I just uninstalled mine last night. I guess it's Avast for me from now on :(
