I have used AVG Free version for over four years now and have not been shut down or slowed down by a virus to date. It catches them warns of there presence and helps get rid of them. I get updates every other day, couldn't ask for anything more. I have repaired a lot of computers with Norton and McAfee on them that had viruses. It appears to me that these folks don't work as hard on getting the updates out as AVG does. I always recommend AVG to my friends, family and customers. I have never tried any of the other products so I know nothing about them at all.
Which antivirus utility protects your computer?
AVG Anti-Virus (love or hate it?)
Kaspersky Anti-Virus (love or hate it?)
McAfee VirusScan (love or hate it?)
Norton AntiVirus (love or hate it?)
Panda Titanium Antivirus (love or hate it?)
Trend Micro PC-cillin (love or hate it?)
Other (what is it?)
I don't need no stinkin' antivirus app. (really, why not?)
