So what is your favorite virus scanner?
 

I prefer what Trend-Micro offers (their free Pc-cillin), but I was wondering what all of you use? I gave up on norton and mcaffee awhile ago due to their constant update expense and horrible phone support.

I use AVG, because it's free and it does a good job.

AVG all the way :thumbsup:

I use eTrust EZ Anti Virus. I used to use Norton, but I think their AV is too bloated. I tried AVG for a while and it was ok, but I did get a virus that it couldn;t handle. Switched to EZ, no problems since.

I started using AVG 7.0 yesterday and it found a virus that Norton hadn't found earlier in the day. I'll keep it so long as it continues to work.

Another vote for AVG. I use it on all of my systems.

I tend to stay away from the BS websites, so I'm not much of a test.

I put it on my wife's best friend's PC, who dowloads crap from Kazaa all day and it has caught a lot of stuff. She always complains to me how many notifications she gets from it. It doesn't stop her from downloading though.

I use TrendMicro Corporate. At work, I have the servers and network setup on the SMB antivirus from TrendMicro. For the linux servers and workstations, I use clamav.

For home computers, AVG is good.

Another vote for AVG. They recently had a bundled deal including kerio personal firewall - two things on my list for less than both separately.

I regularly use a free online scanner (trend micro one) as a cross check, but so far everything is sweet.

I use Norton

Panda Platinum

I use Kaspersky Anti-Virus (Personal Edition). The virus definitions get updated very regularly (usually once a day, at a minimum).

I've been very pleased with this program so far.

ClamWin
789

I use Kaspersky Anti Virus Control, dont know how well it works compared to others, but it seems to work ok, so im fine with it.

Does AVG have any spyware that comes along with it (since it is free)?

No, not as far as I can tell. AVG has been good to me for a while, I don't think I will be switching anytime soon. I have only had like 4 viruses ever though, so I guess I can't really make a great reccomendation.

I use Norton on all machines at work, I have the symantec corporate license with a central server to do all the updates and everything. But I installed AVG on my personal laptop cause it was free. Seems to work well enough.

I use NAV and have no trouble with it.

I use NAV+Internet Security, it seems to do the job. And best of all no pop-ups!

Hmm well I will have to give AVG a try then! Thanks guys.

I have AVK 2005 w/ the RAV engine and KAV engine on my laptop.

I use Mks_vir & Kaspersky AV on my desktop. It's a little overkill, but it works great.

Gamers running NAV - do you disable real time scanning before starting your games? I haven't in the past, I was curious if helped speed up load times and other stuff if you turn it off.

I run NAV and do not disable real time scanning. So I guess I am curious as well.
