What antivirus software do you guys use? I happen to use Norton. It seems to work okay, but I was just curious if anyone liked another program better?

I use the Norton Anti-virus 2003, and I know it works well, because it has destroyed a few viruses before they got to me. I also use Spybot, search and destroy, to clean up my files and to assist in destroying viruses. I usually run my anti-virus and my spybot on Friday nights.

McAfee for anti virus, anti "spam," and anti spyware.

They update easier and quite frequently.

Hey Keith, does Norton seem to slow your computer down any at the beginning. Seems like since adding Norton, when I first start up my computer, it takes forever to load. I tyhink Norton does a quick scan when you first start your computer, so that might account for the delay. After that though, the computer seems to run just fine.

Mcafee and Norton are excellent Antivirus programs. I currently use AVG and norton antivirus 2003. AVG is an free antivirus program that I have downloaded off of the net. Haven't had no complaints so far about this program.

The web address to find the AVG anti-virus is www.grisoft.com. Its a decent anti-virus program, but I guess you cant complain too much since the program is Free..lol
