Hi Guys,

At the moment i am using McAfee as my virus program. i used to have Norton, and it has to be said that i always felt far safer with Norton, so i have just bought their internet security suite to install.

I was just curious on what antivirus people use and how good they find them?

Well i was a user of Norton for years.A member and friend here,dear Insight suggests me Avast.
I run with it now and im very satisfied.Low power sources,everyday updated and simple to use.
Its a freeware so i have no option to vote.

I use AVG (www.grisoft.com) and am 100% happy with it.

I'm using Norton AV but will gladly switch when MS puts their new one into Windows-Vista.

NAV slows down the machine ( a real memory hog) and the entire suite is overkill.

I use System Mechanic Pro. I've used Norton but it was to invasive and consumed resources. Very happy with System Mechanic. Has great tools to help keep my computer running well. It has only one tool I won't use but most of the other work well.

I used to have Norton but found it was too much of a drain on system resources
I have also tried AVG,which was very good(but let one little nasty in,so it had to go Mad )

Now I use Avast,it updates daily,is only a small d/load and is very,very good 👍
Even better,its free Group Wave

And even better again,it has not let anything nasty get to me 😉

From what I have read Norton Antivirus is the worst that you can have. The best antivirus software is Zone Labs.

My most recent move has been from AVG to Avast.

Why use payware when freeware is better?
