I am useing McAfee,but am getting nowhere with their tech support. @@##! program stops in windows XP."Mc Shield.exe has encountered a problem" and all that crap.

AVG

I highly recommend Command Anti Virus. It is downloadable at Authentium.com.

I was directed there from a friend who does security on the systems of fire and police depts. I have never regretted getting it. Tech support is super, and it is extremely user friendly. Not as invasive as McAfee or Norton, but much more effective!

BitDefender—hassle free.

Kaspersky Internet Security

AVG

Definitely AVG Anti-Virus. Beats ‘em all.

[driftdiver]

I had load of problems with Bitdefender so I wouldn’t recommend that.

These days anti virus software is also anti spy ware software? Kapersky and Blacklight are supposed to be the best

W/ McAffee, turn off everything but the basic AV or be prepared to run w/ 4 gigs of RAM.

AVG is tough to beat for the price. Install Spybot too.

Use to get hammered by viruses on a regular basis. Have been using AVG (free, by the way) for several years now … nary a virus. Haven’t needed any “stinking” support … ;-)

Try AVAST. Excellent protection, free with annual renewals, not a memory hog.

New York and Prague – October 22, 2007 - For Immediate Release: ALWIL Software a.s. is pleased to announce the registration of the 40 millionth user of its multiple award-winning avast! Home Edition antivirus software.

"We are extremely proud of this landmark achievement," remarked Eduard Kucera, Joint President and CEO of ALWIL Software a.s. "The fact that 40 million home users have entrusted their internet security to our innovative and reliable antivirus technology – and that 20 million of them registered in the past year – demonstrates that our momentum is increasing, and that avast! has become a trusted brand for security protection, not only for avast!

The very first avast! antivirus Home Edition user registered in January 2002 and the 20 millionth, just a year ago in October 2006.

Great programs. I used to use McAfee and Norton. Both have become ever more troubelsome bloatware...

[Eccl 10:2]

Avast - available free

Good to know there are others as well

I also use Lavasoft Ad-Aware to remove spyware - also free

[TFMcGuire]

And Comodo free firewall.

Spybot S & D and Adaware free spyware removers.

Haven't had a problem with Kubuntu 7.04 Linux. Smaller target.

[editor-surveyor]

Use the uninstall button.

I have been running without on board AV software since 2003. Everything works way better. When I want to do a scan, I go to Trend Micro and run their “House Call” scan.
