I use Norton Antivirus and havent had any problems. I think there is one called AVG? Which is free.

CrashOveride · Jul 23, 2004

AVG is great and free, but from what I have heard and used Nortron is still the best - the Corperate or Professional (whatever they'r called) versions are even better than the regular.

I use eTrust 7 and it catches everything out there. Dual scan engines and daily updates.

I prefer Norton, its never let me down, although it can be a bit pricey. I usually look for OEM's or upgrades. Systemsworks 2k3 OEM can be found for $20 online. What kind of computer is this? What purpose does it serve? Who has access to it? You might not need 'the best' antivirus if you just surf and play games. Especially if you rarely get a virus or trojan. (like me)

As for a free antivirus, I tried AVG, and was sorta dissapointed. Looked cheesy and found a trojan, but would never get rid of it. I finally switched to Avast Antivirus, and it's been good so far.

ivee been living off the norton and mcaffe trials for years...one every other month.

[AK]Zip · Jul 24, 2004

This is for a home computer but its for my server which stores a lot of important info but it still needs to be connected to the internet to function for what I need it. Once again. Price doesn't matter. I just need the best.

Mcafee is great its very easy to use and it doesnt use as much resources as norton does

Needitcooler · Jul 25, 2004

I used Norton for about 3 years and never had a problem until recently when I got a really nasty virus. Since then I have used the free version of AVG and I love it. Also, Norton always seemed to want to take over my computer. Boot up time was always super slow because of Norton. I am just not a Norton fan anymore.

Been an Avast Home edition user for 2 months now, perfectly happy...

norton sucks. it lets so many viri pass by. i use avg and it catches EVERYTHING.

DreamingWolf · Jul 27, 2004

Place my vote for Avast. I surf alot of 'fringe' sites and it's never let me down or let anything in - browser or email (and it's comfy with progs other than outlook :thup:

)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned BitDefender Professional. Awesome product...

I have used them all and still use the following:

Bit defender pro
avg
pccillian
and currently on my system is Panda antivisrus platinum or titanium
great products

NOD32 all the way! NAV would give me fits and is quite the resource hog...

Give the trial a spin and decide for yourself.

Norton pro is great, also allows loading on 2 computers.

annother vote for Avast

Ageeb · Jul 30, 2004

I cannot emphasize enough on a choice of BitDefender Pro

Andyman902042 · Jul 30, 2004
