Almost everyone over here would be using an anti virus
Usually i downloaded anti virus software from internet from torrents and free sources where we get cracks along with it or some key generators
but after i used kaspersky i loved it , but then i tried all keys and cracks but could'nt
use kaspersky , i hesitated to buy it coz i saw on its official webpage its price was around 28 $
but i had to forcefully buy it , and to my surprise it was cheap in stores
it was only 8 $ and was a legal copy and am using it since 6 months for 3 computers
and all are working well , nowadays its cheap , unlike before the rates are not high
How many of u use a legal one / or a cracked one

i am using a legal Norton now.but before i used to using the ones that i downloaded from the internet . the download one can not work efficiently like the legal one. at the same time i always worry the performance.
if you have lots of important informations in your computer i suggest you buy a legal one

I have uninstalled all versions of any anti virus software off of both of my home computers... and I have had less problems then ever with them off. No viruses, no stupid pop ups telling me to do this or that and the other thing... I'm lovin' it!

ya even i have heard this
but when u have a anti virus it keeps blocking such viruses
so this makes the pc slow
now without an anti virus u dont have any protection and again there is no one to stop them copying them selves over every location , changing the registry
so u will not fell any difference even if ur PC is flooded with viruses
only thing is ur access over administrative tools will vanish

Actually I am not very afraid of the computer virus. I don't want to spend much in this aspect. There are many free anti-virus software and therefore I just choose to use one of them. My computer still works fine anyway:) The free anti-virus software works the same like other famous anti-virus software and it also provides me the computer virus database update. So why I have to use an illegal software?
I love China

For the moment, I am using a legal version of Rising.
I bought it at the cost of about 20 dollars 2 year ago. As a paid security software, Rising is developed by engineers from China, which is popular among people in China. Usually, tt is updated on time per day in order to strenghten its ability of deleting viruses.
From where I stand, it is worth buying if a software can help us make our computer safe.

Mine is legal and free, Avira Antivir. It's a home edition. I think it's great that they've come up with these home edition types because it's really unrealistic for someone to buy them with the prices they have. Not to mention that sooner or later these antivirus can no longer service your needs further, then what? throw away the big bucks you spent for them?

Well, I am using AVG free version so obviously it is legal, I have registered myself also. Though it has some limited features compared to the retail full version, but I am very much happy to use the free version till today. It is really wise to buy full legal versions but I should definitely find all places for the best offer available to buy it in store or Internet.
