Default Which anti-virus do you use?


Personally, I use symantecs. It takes care of most of the trouble. If it doesn't then I have to use Hijack, but I hate doing manual work for that.

I only check it now and then every 3 months, I usually don't get viruses unless I go to some LAN parties with kids full of viruses in their comps. Some dodgy downloads that I have to do for cracks gets me in trouble too sometimes.

I'm using McAfee Antivirus, coupled with McAfee Personal Firewall, and so far I've been protected from viruses and I've never had any major virus problems since installing it.
