I'm a big fan of the new computer associates EZ Antivirus - it's not nearly the PIG that Norton is! We've been using it at work for a while now with no issues.
Yeah, Norton sucks.Moderator - Sexual Health and Open Chat

Sucks ass at actually deleting and finding viruses, I had to delete a lot of stuff by hand on multiple computers. Avast! also auto-updates.

Norton seems to be a little thick....
McAffee not so friendly, but fine...
I'm using the "System Mechanic 6" utility on my home PC right now
and like it... It has all kinds of neat features like automating
scans and defrags and has a friendly GUI
Have Problems?... Chances are its due to overpopulation

If you're worried about getting a zoo virus variant, the only app that has you covered is Sophos. If you don't give a fuck, then buy "insert popular brand name here." I like trend micro.

Ditto, the MS is very good. I had some stuff creep past my TeaTimer though, so I dont give it as much faith. Honestly though one spyware program is not enough anyway, I use several.
I also use Firefox 99% of the time.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

That's interesting, I think at this point Spyware is more of a threat than a virus would be for me.
I was once infected with winfixer just by entering a site.

I agree with several also, but not if you start with a clean slate. I also agree with Firefox. Originally Posted by Mudge

I agree completely, I saw much more in the way of spyware problems towards my last days as a sys admin. One girl would reach close to 500 detectable pieces about every 6 weeks, she would not listen to me tell her, or constantly email EVERYONE at the site, do not download free games and screensavers etc. She was, "one of those." It gets to the point where the machine will reboot, crash, slow down, email wont work, you name it - all because of spyware, not viruses. Originally Posted by min0 lee
That is also in my arsenal, however many still like to come back. Spyware, sucks ass. Originally Posted by BigDyl

Personally I'm quite fond of Mcafee.
I've never had any issues with it at all. We even use it at work and without issue.

You know I don't use any anti-virus or spyware removal/finder software I just know where the shit comes from and steer clear of it.
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
