Which Anti-Virus do You Use?

Thanks for the explanation Drew.

You're welcome.

I use Norton Internet Security 2012 for now and combined with Malwarebytes PRO.
great to use this combination.

There is no need or sense for paying for security. Especially when there is free security that is far, far better than Norton. Most IT Pros (& countless others) know this. We run around removing Norton & giving clients, better products & better performance.

that avg link just goes to thier main page, i used avg for years, tho, seen a few false positives that bothered me, noticed that it was a bit of a resource hog as well. i use mse and mbam. if i wanted to pay i would use nod.

You didn't add BitDefender - rated number 1 for the last 3 years... (I am a licensed PC repair service for the last 16 years)

Rated number 1? There's no definitive number 1 - ratings do differ between people/surveys.

Although BitDefender is #1 on AV-Comparatives so he does have a point.

I use Avast, spybot, malwarebytes, DRwebcureit, ESENET online scanner. The reason being that there is not one single antivirus that can catch everything. I stopped using MS security essentials as I ended up having a plethora of infections that managed to infect my system.
Avast has an excellent community that really helps you if you are in trouble. Spybot is basically useless but its immunisation option is very good. Malwarebytes has detected many infections but always use the FULL SCAN. Actually it is best to always use FULL SCAN with any AV software.
DRweb cureit is also very good.

I use Avira antivirus.
