    It is that time of the year again where I need to update my antivirus program. Having looked at various reviews none of which agree I am wondering if anybody has some opinions? It seems the best are (in no particular order): - Vipre - BitDefender - Kapersky :confused:

            My vote goes to MSE (which I've been happy with for about a year now) then Avast (used for the previous 5-ish years without any problem). Both are free.

                I have Symantec Endpoint (corporate package) from work, otherwise MSE is fine and doesn't get in the way.

                      I have used AVG and currently a paid McAfee. Liked AVG to start but it started missing things which may or may not be my fault. Switch to McAfee and it works okay. Just put Microsoft Essential on my mom's computer and it is doing well after all the updates. :) Since mom only uses a old copy of WordPerfect, Spider solitaire, and the occasional email, I had not been keeping up with the updates.

                          I answered this ages ago and Code Project lost my post. You Bastard Maunder. BitDefender, been using it for over 4 years, become a reseller, only use AntiVirus and not the Internet / Total Security crap. Reasonably priced and doesn't hog resources or get in my way.

                                        It's amazing what some people do to steal information from people:suss: However, I think the lack of network card may help ;P

                                          It is that time of the year again where I need to update my antivirus program. Having looked at various reviews none of which agree I am wondering if anybody has some opinions? It seems the best are (in no particular order): - Vipre - BitDefender - Kapersky :confused:

                                          I am the handsome one in the crowd.
