Which Anti-Virus software are you running?

Which AV am I using?

On all systems here, I use a version of Norton AV. Three use Norton Internet Security, one uses AVG free, and the rest simply Norton AV.

Over the years, I have found Norton and Symantic to be the best, most reliable AV application around.

Have been using Kaspersky for the past couple of years but might try MS before I continue in 2011.

anti-virus program

I've been using MSE when I heard of it, and downloaded/installed it.
Never experienced any problems and recommended it to friends.

 

I use Avira on both XP setups and on Vista on this, as to what I use on Win9X, I don't know, and nothing right now on Win2K - that isn't set up to use the internet.

 

I used AVG until MSE came out, I now have 3 windows7 computers all using MSE, and have had no problems .

AVG free for years till updating it became impossible.

Avast for a while but updating it also became difficult.

Microsoft Security Essentials last several months. Computer seems to be faster, too.

 

Antivirus I use is

PrevX with Safe Online

 

I'm using nothing.

On my "big" computer, I'm using W98SE, and they don't write viruses for that anymore. Besides, I don't download anything that can contain viruses. I don't even open e-cards!

On my laptop, with W7HP, I suppose I should get something. One of these days I'll even try to connect it to the internet!

 

AVG on one computer [Vista :-( ] that uses only internet-based email as it appeared to interfere with Office 2003 email reception.
Avira on two computers (XP home & XP pro)--works very well; no virus issues, no performance issues (and I use OpenDNS).
From work (laptop with Win7) they gave me Symantec Endpoint Protection; no issue with it.

 

Used AVG for several years, but I have since replaced it with Avast. Machine runs better with the latter.

I have heard good things about MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials). I installed it on a friends laptop, but I have yet to use it myself because I like the ability to control what connects to the web, and I don't think that MSE will allow you to control outbound traffic like a firewall can.

 

Don't think the MSE has anything to do with a firewall. It is an AV program. It asks you during the install if you want to make sure your firewall is on. I am behind a router and use only the windows firewall and have been like that for years. Used to use Zone Alarm but quit after a couple of problems that I and others had with it. Still know a couple of people that have it installed on their PC and they don't complain.

 

From all the info I gathered at MS, MSE, in conjunction with Windows built-in firewall, acts as a two-way firewall. Tests were conducted at Shields Up using this combination, and it passed the stealth test.

MS MVPs said that a third party firewall is not needed, and it could possibly cause software conflicts.

 

Had AVG and moved to AVAST then to MSE. I like MSE. It does it's job well. I recommend it to all my clients and install it where I can.

 

avast! antivirus

 

I am currently using McAfee on both the desktop and laptop (I know, I know). I will be using that until the end of the current subscription (11/30/2011), and then I will switch to using Microsoft Security Essentials.

 

I am using Avira

 

Norton Internet Security Suite 2011 (just updated). This is a very sharp-looking and responsive program.

 

Don't be too hard on yourself, I'm far from a McAfee fan (nor Symantec for that matter) but it's a better choice than a couple of others have made.
