I am currently using AVG and so far I like the service it has given me. I use to have norton but since I had problems in updating it due to some problems I decided to remove it from my PC and it cause me a couple of months before I finally remove it so now I plan not to use norton anymore. How about you what antivirus did you use? Are you happy with the protection you are getting from it?

I am also using AVG Free Anti-Virus for years now. I have no problems with AVG and I also love the service. I still have 7.5 in one of my computers, but the other one, I already upgraded to verson 8.0. I still find the new version better although there are some programs I can't use now. It blocks most of my remote administration programs. KEEP SMILING = NEIL

Welcome to the club, ayessa! I've been using Norton too and then updating was a problem so I switched on to Avira Antivir and then finally I've settled down to AVG.

Currently i am using eset nod 32 antivrius which is working well for me.And i am happy with the protection that i am getting from this antivirus.Because the mai advanatage of this antivurs is it doesn't slows down the pcwhile doing multi taking for which i love this antivirus very much.I though of using avg but after using this antivirus i stoped using any other antivirus.

I am really getting curious with this nod 32 antivirus. I was hearing lots of good reviews about this one. Thanks for responding!

Even I had norton earlier but it made my PC very slow. Also, Norton was not free! So, I now use AVG, which is really very good anti virus for a home user like me and the best part is that its free!AVG has not affected my PC's performance too. It is good in all aspects. Along with AVG anti virus I also use Spybot to protect my PC from Trojans, adware etc. Thanks

I have been using AVG for years and I have not encountered any problem with it. My only issue with AVG is that it demands to get updated almost everyday. But that is more of a compliment rather than a complaint.

I was using the free AVAST anti virus and it is doing perfectly for my PC right now. Before I was using AVG but since it is not supported, I have upgraded it to their new version, however, I've got a problem for the new version since the updating of this is very low in my PC. So I decided to use AVAST and it is working fine right now. I was not using Norton since I have a bad experienced with this one as the important program I was using has been corrupted with Norton.

Oh that was something bad about norton. That's why I really not planning to use that one anymore. I have tried avast too but I have problem running it to my pc. It made my pc slow. That's why I shift to avg. What do you mean avg was not supported? Thanks for the response!
