I swear by the free version of AVG, it has served me well for years. I would imagine the pro version is just as good and better.

I have worked with computers with McAfee and Norton before and found them both very irritating, but that was back in the ninties, I suppose it is possible that they made improvements since then. I always judge my virus software by whether or not I can tell it is running, if it makes itself obvious then I don't want it, if it is doing its job behind the scenes without bother me, then I am happy with it. So far AVG has done a good job of working for me and keeping quiet about it.


mcaffee and norton, you better buying a CD worth of spyware and installing it then using those two peices of garbage. They are both INSANE resourcehogs and in ways jsut as bad as the software your trying to prevent getting onto your computer. I personally use Sophos because UBC provides it for free and its so much nicer.


Dude, did you even read his whole post before frothing at the mouth about how bad McAfee and Norton are? He specifically said he uses AVG because Norton and McAfee both proved to be very irritating in the past.

Norton is worse than a virus.  It takes over your computer and slows it down incredibly. 

AVG Free is the best program I've used.

I'm using AVG on one of my computers, and Avast on another.  Am very happy with both.  McAfee at work isn't bad, but it's a bit of a hog.  Norton on my fiance's computer is a nightmare.  I would never choose it.  How it stays in business I have no idea.
