I've have several friends with Kaspersky and AVG end up with viruses that they didnt detect.

I like NAV myself. I'm trying to move away from Norton Systemworks and just get NAV. Trend Micro free online virus scan picked up some virii that Norton missed.

I have been using Trend PCcillin for the last two years. It is a great program for overall security. It includes antivirus software that automatically updates. It also includes a detection system for unauthorized leeches on a Wireless Network, Firewall Protection, Instant Internet Activity Lock, and a few other features.

The program was actually free after rebate at Fry's a couple months ago.

McAfee VirusScan here....Its free because im in the USAF..

mechmike0034 · 03-22-2005, 05:21 PM

AVG 7 free, swear by it...

Norton was always my 1st choice, until I installed the MS Anti-spyware beta & it picked up a worm on my machine that Norton never saw. Now I may have to re-think that.

There are a lot of worms/trojans that various antivirus programs won't pick up that an anti-spyware app will. I'm sure that will change over time..

I've used NAV for years, but I'm not planning on renewing my subscription when it comes up in May. I've become too aware of how much NAV is slowing down my system (and some online reading on antivirus programs confirms that NAV is one of the worst for this). I picked up a copy of Panda Platinum from Fry's that was free after rebate. I'll be giving it a try. On several of the systems in my home I just install AVG. I've heard good things about Trend and NOD 32.

Norton AV here. Works for me.

Norton Corp version here. It doesn't have all the fat that the retail version has.
