What antivirus software do you use?

SAV actually does a decent job against Spyware, but we do supplement with Spybot.

Just Adaware and Norton here.

- McAfee Enterprise 8.0 (and earlier versions in the past)
- Zone Alarm Pro

This combo works perfectly. 0 viruses, 0 intrusions, on many PC's for many years.

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).

I use Norton Because I have never had a problem with it. I tried other A.V. but always came back to norton.

This made my day

Guess we'll be keeping an eye on this one...

Not only that they figured out away to hack the software to. They make it so instead 1 yrs of service each time its 6 yrs. How they do it I don't know but I saw it on MSNBC.

I use Norton Anti-virus corporate edition and Zone alarm for the firewall

A good source to keep up with what AV software is doing is VB (Virus Bulletin). They test the various AV software on the various platforms and report regularly.

Still no guarantee that any of the software won't get cracked at some point in time.
