AVG. I have problems with it, though. Whenever I do a full system scan, I get a bunch of threats and I can't heal/delete them. Is there any way to quarantine threats or adware? Right now my virus has taken away my desktop image privileges. ::(:

None, though if I need to -- OneCare looks like the best option.

AVG, until they force free users onto version 8. Then I'm switching to Avast.

This computer has Norton, which I don't quite understand.

I dont use anti-virus software. It will slow your system down and be a general pain in the ass. Never really had a need for it as the only way for me to get one is to be infected from a trusted source. If that happens, I'm boned anyways.

Zone Alarm.

Have done for years and I've never had a problem.

none. I do all my unsafe torrenting, limewire, and anything risky through my linux laptop, which can be reinstalled at no loss to me. Everything important is on my desktop.

NOD32 I started to use it a while ago, I find it the best AV software I have ever used. Before NOD32 I had the free version of avast.

AVG, sometimes Avast. Avast is bitchy though.

Kaspersky or NOD32, just luck of the draw when I install it.

AVG is a piece of shit.

My Windows machines all have Adaware SE (Personal or Professional, depends on the machine). I run clamav on my laptop and server every so often for shits and giggles.

They have AVG Free Version 8 as well, not just the non-free version. This is the version I have, and it also comes with an anti-spyware.

Does OSX count?

On my PC I have a business account license for McAfee... but I don't have it installed... my PC is pretty much just for modeling... nothing more.

I have AVG, but it's being annoying. It won't automatically update itself, even after I tell it to automatically update. Then windows complains at me for not setting it up to automatically update. :\

Eset NOD32. Never had any problems with it, and on both laptop and desktop it only affects performance a little bit when scannning.

Avast!

Mcafee for me. I don't understand why you guys don't seem to like it. I've never had any problems with it.

None. Just disabled all useless services, especially ones that open ports, and I download programs only from trusted sites.

Antiviruses spend too much cpu and ram.
