      AVG Free has been excellent on both XP and Vista. Appears to update regularly and it has run trouble free for a considerable time. As good as the others may be it is difficult to argue the case when AVG Free is, well, free.

      I use AVG free, and will continue to do so, even if my home computer right now has got the m_hook/Bagle.GE Trojan/Rootkit. :( :mad: X| So I'm not too confident on AVG right now, but anyway, it runs smoothly and, well, is free...

        We all use anti virus software, especially those who value their data and tools. And also everybody has their own opinion on which anti virus software is the best. Google-ing it is pointless, as most surveys give totally different opinions on the so called "Top" anti virus software. I wanted to know you guys, which do you use and why? I use Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition v10.1.0.401, I love it mainly cause i know it works well and cause it really, really low on my computer's resources and in combination to that, windows firewall, regular updates and Firefox, i need no other protection.

          I have tried it (AVG), and maybe I'm paranoid when it comes to my computers resources but, AVG delays startup and consumes continuously, much like NOD32, it's active engine is really active.

          Price is definitely an issue, as free software is always used first. But honestly, and in a company environment, it's a small price to pay to protect data and equipment.

                    If you really want to try, I'll reformat my laptop and put WinXP with SP2 and all the latest updates, and you can try to get in, but I seriously doubt you will be able to reach/breach the system.

                        I don't use AV software either. I figure that if it is this damned hard for me to get out past the firewalls then good luck to the poor sod trying to get in.
