What antivirus do you use?

[DaMaGeLIVE]

I currently us pc tools, what antivirus software do you guys use?

AVG Free Edition and I always scan with Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware right after I scan with AVG.

Avira, only because its definitions appear to be more up to date than most others. Plus it's free, so bonus there.

Microsoft Security Essentials. Used the rest and stuck with the best.

Well I will not say they are the best but just as good or better than the rest. I use SE as well. The other free stuff is a bit heavy and can get annoying.

Kaspersky

 

[habbajabba]

Clamwin portable and I rarely open it and usually just to update it.

+1 for avira it has been giving good consistent performance for a free program http://www.av-comparatives.org/index.php

Mcafee Corporate at maximum security settings. It's kind of resource intensive, however, I've been really happy with it on this computer.

 

[merz.38]

I get mine free through school though.

 

[Jmtyra]

ESET NOD32 Business Edition
Have it on all of my systems and very satisfied with it.

 

[wingman99]

Microsoft Security Essentials.

.... on my personal comps.... no av..

They are pointless IMO, if you know where you are browsing and opening. Hell i have seen viruses get right past the most up to date av.

That said... on peoples comps i work on... Microsoft security essentials hands down.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I decided to try out mse. I did a quick scan and so far its seems to be very light weight and fast.

Microsoft Security Essentials. Install and forget. Definitions may not be the most up to date. But good enough for me.

 

[Cigarsmoker]

Microsoft Security Essentials

 

[terran2k]

for my personal PC, Kaspersky of course.

On my general use machine I use AVG Free but on my high performance machine I do not use any. I have image backups if it crashes and I never do any browsing on it so the likelihood of anything being compromised on it is nil.
For my configuration, it tends to slow my high performance machine down about 10-15%. Upgrading to an SSD may assist with that, but meh.
