i find avastv quite good

Haven't had any problems with Avast.

Why so many people still use Norton ?
Me, NOD32, of course...
Posted by: oo3
What are the advantages of Avast and NOD32? I've been using Mcafee for years. I've thought about trying something else, but I'm not too familiar with anti-virus software to make a switch.

used BitDefender for about a year, but i uses quite a lot of system resources, so i switched to Kaspersky

I used to like BitDefender kind of but new versions ain't my thing anymore

Previously symantec, now mcafee

VirtualPC. No anti-virus.
If you know you're going to be surfing for porn then why not use a browser that doesn't allow execution of code?
Of your highly legitimate concerns that you may download something with a virus in? As stated my personal preferrence is for virtualization software to check it with, no biggie if a virus runs there.

I recently switched from Norton to AVG and I'm very pleased with it. It took a while to completely flush all of Symantec's services (why do they need so many?) and registry entries, but it was worth it. My systems starts faster and runs better now.

i used norton, bitdefender, panda, nod32, zonealarm with antivirus...no i'm not using anything :D...i only have sygate firewall

AVG... free and perfectly adequate

Kaspersky - It's definitely the best engine out there. IMHO, of course :)

Try nod32 1st, and you will happy with nod32's heuristic technology. I think nod32 better than avast. So, don't wait to try.:D:D

Nod 32 seems to do a good job for me, but have to say it doesnt like cleaning. Just finds them..Good enough for me.
Posted by: cheshirecat
Symantec Corporate 10.1.4.4000
In the last two years i were using different antivirus programs Norton, KAV, Nod32, Panda and others. No one of them is as good as Symantec.
This program really protected me more than 2 times!
It's also fast and has no fancy buttons and other shit :)
Just pure good Antivirus Engine

I'm currently running Kaspersky, might give NOD32 a try.

AVG free appealed to me and together with windows xp firewall It gives ennough protection . Everything loads very fast so my boottime is ok. Other virusprograms boot not so fast
Posted by: peat moss
I'm an old Norton fan boy who has recently switched to F-Secure Internet Security , and can't believe the difference in speed , load times ,etc.
Funny how its in the top three according to this link :
http://anti-virus-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Also checks for updates hourly not like some . :dry:

i read an article on WINDOWS FIREWALL a couple of years back
it was kinda technical for my tastes but the overall review was clear ~ its crap and u should really get urself a better one (I recommend ZONEALARM which is free)

I use ClamWin. It is open source and free sofware. Open source has proved to be good option.

KAV v6 is the best in my opinion

yes, at one time it was the best and I would not live without it but in the last 5 years or so its just awful! It needs a lowfat diet!
on the other hand McAfee was a crash looking for a computer to happen now its my first choice.
Posted by: ZeD_FileZ

Its worth the download... could save you countless hours! (unless your time and data are useless) its not expensive and there are some great free versions!
whilst your at it get A firewall to complete the package!

Kapersky is the best

i've been using Symantec 9.0.0.338 for like 2 years now. no fancy looks but it quietly does its job.

While I use NOD32, I completely agree. I used norton until about 3 years ago. My computer crashed every 3-4 days on me because norton kept eating my ram. I switched to NOD32, after recommendations from nearly everyone I spoke to and have never had the crashing problem again. NOD32 has such a smaller footprint too. I've been very happy with it and never intend to return to norton.

I use norton. :P

Norton antivirus
Posted by: mbucari1
I used avast for over a year and used to recommend it to everybody, but it kept giving me too many false positives and I think it took a while for them to update their definitions. I now use Kaspersky. It can be a bit intrusive, but it makes me feel more secure.
I still recomend avast for those who need a free av

i've never had a problem using this combo.
Posted by: andybreene
Interesting to see NOD32 at the top - I'd never heard of that
Posted by: ed357911
Taking into consideration the overwhelming praise for NOD32, I've decided to give it a go; so far so good. Also, switching over wasn't as difficult as I thought it'd be.
I used the following site to help guide me with the settings. It should be helpful to anyone that decides to switch over.

On my win boxes I've always used Norton AV
During the last couple of months I gave a try to Avira (quite good the free edition) and McAfee Security Suite, which I have still to explore in all its features.
On my Linux box I don't use any AV:D
Posted by: shazzar
nod32 is probably the best, hardly uses any resources and works discretely in the background, that you forget you have it installed. How it should be

Norton Antivirus. If NOD32 is probably the best out there, I'll take a look into it.
Posted by: leland
I use F-Secure, but see it nowhere on your poll. It uses multiple engines including Kaspersky; with hourly updates. No support for Vista yet though. Hopefully that will come with time.

Kaspersky detects every other virus and is fast and light on system resources
