    I don't, and won't any more.
    I've removed Symantec antivirus software from three computers in the past month because I found a trojan on one. 3 to 6 viruses/trojans were spotted by Kaspersky v5 after installation on each.
    There isn't a bargepole long enough for me to work on [a Sony Viao] - clocker 2008

    I'v never had a virus in 10 years of playing with computers, Norton flavors is all I know . Symantec Corp . I recommend for most of my friends so I don' t have to worry about expire dates . Most have newer computers with 512 mb memory and high end cpu's . Can't say Ive every had a virus problem with most I'v set up .


    Trojans is a another matter but I usually set up GIANT and Symantic's client Firewall . Would be willing to try anouther program ......... but why ?

    As a firewall i heard Symantec's is good! However, i can't say the same about its AV! Even with a Strong pc you may still experience slowdowns on multitasking!
    Anw a VERY good option is NOD32! As for trojan's i Use Zone Alarm firewall!
    Trust me NOD and ZA are an excellent pair!

    AVG isnt that good (IMO). there are better ones like NOD32 or Kaspersky. As for Symantec and Norton, I never liked them.

    I use to use Norton a few years back and I got infected by a virus real bad. Lost everything. Then just last year my friend was using Norton and she got infected by a virus. It tried to spread itself via AIM and sent IMs to all her buddies.. Naturally, I got one and sent me a link to download some photos. Since she is my friend and I trust her, I clicked the link.. Luckily NOD32 came to the rescue before anything bad happened (to me).
    blah blah blah... whatever...
