I use AVG. Used teh free version Very Good not a lot of resources. Healed any virus in got. Then i went for pro. works good as well. 5/5 for me.

Well im one of those ppl who just ignore everyone else who blaze on Symantec and use it anyway cuz it served me well, but after a recent format, i couldnt find me disc so i decided to try the full version of AVG which i acquired somewhere... So far its serving me well, but honestly i dont really have any virus probs anyway so its fine, duznt really matter to me once it works..its a bit annoying though until u create all the rules for all the applications that need clearance, but i guess its comprehensive. Check it out.

me likes it a lot........... free version, using it for a few years

Thanx for the advice...and please do not get me wrong, i am not going to be unfair and say symantec have not done wonders for me, indeed it has, but there is nothing i can do on my machine while it is activated and i deal with heavy graphics.

Dumped in 2005.....lame......
memory hog.....

AVG since and never looked back!

avg is good plus it free, updates itself everyday, so far i have not had a prob with it

From the days when Leo Laporte recommended it on Call For Help years ago, I haven't looked back since. Does the job for me without being a memory hog or taxing my system.

i just dumped norton this year too, was using AVG and i recommend it too... but my absolute favourite is bitdefender.
