Rep Power: 0  | Question - Your Favorite AntiVirus
What is your favorite anti virus software? Mine is kaspersky. It doesn't take up a lot of resources, and it finds things that Norton & McAfee miss.

Currently I'm using Avast. I tried Commodo but DANG with all the pop ups, warnings and it really slowed down my computer. It lasted all of 48 hours.

Rep Power: 0 | I use Symantec Corporate Ed., you can config it to go as deep as you want, and it's not the resource hog Norton AV is.
It has never let me down.

Cy | the only problem with symantec corp is they only update definitions once week, on fridays.  I found that it missed things not only on my computer, but on many of my friends and families computers. I prefer AV that updates daily. The one I use updates sometimes two to three times in one day.

Rep Power: 0 | I really like to use Kaspersky, because it is updated almost weekly -- or monthly. Unfortunantely, the price per month is too expensive for my taste. Thus, I now use NOD32. Sure, it doesn't update as much. However, it still gets the job done. I normally don't get viruses/trojans anyway. | |

Rep Power: 1 | NOD 32 is best of 2008 as it is light weight(does not take more cpu/mem resources) and detects/cleans latest spywares/trojoans.
Problem is that in many cases it deleted the virus but not able to restore the setting to original if it's changed by the virus. I had to edit registry to do that.

Rep Power: 0 | I've been using kaspersky anti virus and webroot spy sweeper. A little pricey but none the less there great programs if you're looking to keep your computer virus free. Kapersky is definitely worth it though, I haven't had any issues as of yet. | |

Yeah, i hate it when :Antiviruses are very slow.
I really love Avast! as well, i think it is one of the best , and it's free.
A great one that i don't really see anymore that was free was AVS frm AOL
