I use Norton. But now they are charging a renewal after a 60 day trial. :( I remember when they didn't charge a renewal fee. But I put Mcafee antivirius. I always found them to be reliable.

Lol. I use free stuff also. I use Norton , but i am planning to use AVG.

McAffee is decent (and has a great reputation from past).

You do have two other free choices in AVG and Avast. Both offer regular updates and do a great job in my experience.

i use avg and it automatically updates every day so if sumfings getting through then its rubbish but i dont fink so

AVG Anti-virus is the best in my book. And the best part is that its FREE forever and forever unlike the timerwares from Symantec, McAfee, etc. that expire after a few months.

I had Norton and whenever i scanned my comp with it no virus, then i thought that i'd try AVG Pro 7(latest one) and there are like 15 viruses. For sure AVG is better than Norton.

The reality is, their are several good Antivirus products out there and the discussion of which one is better is becoming narrowly defined. As new versions come out most inevitable get better at detecting Viruses. The most important thing is that you keep it updated with the latest Viruses definitions and avoid known pitfalls that will expose you to a Virus.

I agree. But i did have my Norton up-to-date and the latest one.

I use AVG, the full version. Never yet had a virus.

Scans my e-mail, the lot.

The only thing I can fault it on, is that it keeps insisting that any prog, in my software storage folder, that goes on line, like my News Reader, or Neo Trace, has got a Trojan.

...And I would rather it did that, than mistake something dangerous, for a beguine routine

Updates are automatic, and almost daily.

A good prog

Paid Version and Free One.........
 
I use the Pro Version Of Zone Alarm, and it is remarkable, I have not had one false positive ( Like alot of others will throw at you ). And if you would like a killer free one, Avast Antivirus is the BEST of all Freebies... Devildog :icon_twisted:
