| What antivirus software do you use? Don't laugh at me... AVG is my buddy. I have the paid version on all of our computers at home and at work. I really like how they keep their database up to date and the fact it uses very little resources to run... it's not a puter hog like some others I've had. | ||||

| Re: What antivirus software do you use? F-Secure Internet Security for me, easy to use, very regular updates, tried Norman for a while as it came with my machine, as a result picked up the Lovsan virus and so switched to F-Secure. 1995 2007 | ||||

| Re: What antivirus software do you use? Agreed... no reason to bash it... especially if it works for you. I run AMD's and Pentiums. I've never been able to tell that much difference myself, but I'm not much of a gamer and don't do an extreme amount of multi-tasking either. Just your average everyday computer life. | ||||

| Re: What antivirus software do you use? Well I'm still using NAV. I used to use McAfee,but had a problem with them changing the engine, and obsoleting my subscription in the process. Symantec changes the engine too, but just downloads new one. I don't think Symantes is great, but the scanner seems to work. | ||||

| Re: What antivirus software do you use? AVG on 5 pc's, all running behind hardware firewall though, hate symantec, have to use them commercially as they have the best server/client solution, better than Trends | ||||

| Re: What antivirus software do you use? I have been using AVG on my machines for some time now and no problems. I have heard that Avast is better but have not really had a reason to change. I find spyware is a bigger problem than viruses these days. What are you all using for that? | ||||

| Re: What antivirus software do you use? As I mentioned in a different post, I got smited with a nasty virus by using IE. Norton found nothing. AVG found *one* after the dropper had put in serveral others (probably a week after the initial infection). Avast found 2 more. But, I had to run ethereal (a packet sniffer) to see that my PC was actually still trying to talk to some remote website. I then had to run some tools to track down IP port usage and I had to manually delete a fake windows service. Not cool. If you have any suspicion about something running on your PC (in my case, my router was going beserk) get a software firewall running, or run TcpMon from http://sysinternals.com (free). | ||||
