Does everyone use anti-virus?

[Mark TKO]

Yep - others just slowed my pc down so i swear by AVG now

AVG free edition has never let me down - anyone use the one that you pay for ? What extra does it give you ??

We've got AVG on the PC, but I'm stuck with Norton on the laptop.
How do I go about downloading AVG for the laptop?

AVG Free - Download antivirus and antispyware software for Windows XP and Vista

I always use a firewall and anti virus but I only use free ones.

Window's own firewall in Vista is fine for me and for anti virus I use Avast as it's free and autoupdates.

I was a longtime AVG user but switched to Avast when AV started misidentifying loads of files as viruses and it got on my tits.

The best thing about Avast is that it autoupdates about 10 times a day.

Every couple hours I'll hear some American bloke telling me 'your virus database has been updated'

Makes me think he clearly knows what he's doing so I can just browse away happily

AVG and Avast are not really that effective in detecting viruses. I like Kaspersky more.


If you don't want any anti virus and viruses at the same time, use LINUX, OpenBSD, Ubunto, etc.Am using Mandrake Linux for the 15 computers I am handling. Never encountered a virus this year.

I use Webroot. It blocks 2 to 3 unknown craps everyweek.

I got a computer for the first time this January and so got the best anti virus on the market Norton 360. I was scared

That would be more like "your data updated base update has been de-viruseded... uuuh, de-viresded.. virused..? *pause*

I don't know crap about computers, Danny has hooked me up with everything, he has me using NOD32 anti-virus, and Outpost firewall, and I haven't had any problems, and it hasn't slowed me down one bit.
