which antivirus do you use?

[Echbart]

I use avats and i have to say it is the best i have ever used!

[TechZ]

I use avast, Norton. Used to use AVG also, changed that one to avast.

As usual there is no perfect AV solution, just common sense, clean surfing, no p2p'ing, a good firewall and luck

eTrust EZ Antivirus

Used to use Fsecure. Now I'm using eTrust. It's pretty good. The best I've ever seen though was Kaspersky's. But eTrust is free for a year.

Nod32

One thing I like about eTrust is that the annual fee (after the first year free) covers version upgrades as well as virus definitions. Norton pisses me off no end in that they force you to buy a new product every year or two.

AVG 7 Free

What TechZ said - there is no perfect AV program.

I have, over the last decade or so, used versions of McAfee and Norton. But I resent paying for a piece of software that you never actually own, which has a very limited lifespan and which sucks computer resources for no apparent reason.

Tried Avast (didn't care for it, user-friendly-wise) and have run one version or another of AVG for the past year and a half. Combined with freeware a-squared (a program any AV user should include) I've not been troubled with anything extraordinary.

I was a Norton guy until 2004. Man that version sucked! Since then I have been using Grisoft AVG 7.0 and have no complaints. It has worked well.

The company I worked for used Norton exclusively. We had a couple of activation problems with it here and there. I didn't like it much because it would scan for viruses and report them to you but it wouldn't actually delete or quarantine some of them. It's an OK product for virus prevention but it blows when it comes to removal. I use Norton Corporate Edition now and it seems to work fine. I think it takes up less resources too since the interface isn't as fancy as the retail products.

eTrust and ZoneAlarm. Been happy ever since I kicked the Norton habit.

Been using Trend Micro PcCillin for some time and it works. My wife uses EZtrust. Both work. I generally don't like anything Symantic except Ghost.

Tried most AV and I have never been infected with NOD32. It reroutes all internet traffic through it, before my browser even gets to it. Also, I have nearly ZERO slow down with it scanning. Daily updates and never need to restart after any update.

Norton and Mcafee really slowed down my PC and did most AV progs I tested. I have notice minimal slow down my PC runs fast smooth and safe. 100% catch rate is unheard of from any AV, not NOD32.

[TechZ]

NOD32, I tried that a few times, and their standalone version, just for cleaning, its soooooo fast. Couldnt believe how fast it scans an entire drive.

[Sp0cK]

That's right, I forgot to mention that also.. It's very fast program that is also a very small program ... less than 8 megs....
