What anti-virus do you use on your computer?

You can use ESET NOD. Its very good and easily updates everyday. There are many free ones but nothing gives best protection compared to paid ones.

McAfee is good i don't know y u r facing problem..go for antiavira

I've got one on each computer. I got AVG Anti-Virus Guard in my living room eMachines PC, but all it does is scan my files. Ever since then, I rarely run into viruses anymore except those that have already infected my hard drive files until I find some disinfectant programs to clean them off. I also got McAffee already installed on my newly-opened Acer Aspire Revo portable nettop. Speaking of my files that are infected in my hard drive, at least it doesn't delete them unless I decide to do that. It quarantines my infected files. Last weekend i've been trying to backup one of my older hard drives using ImgBurn and compressing them with IZArc, and it took ALL FRIGGIN' WEEKEND PLUS MONDAY! That includes stopping and quarantining the infected files in there even while I was asleep, and it STILL didn't turn out right! Instead of forming into an .ISO file, it split into different 4.7GB files and didn't join itself automatically! All that time wasted for nothing. Back to file synchronization with other hard drives to save my files instead.

I use AVG free on my laptop. It can be downloaded free from the cnet.com downloads page. AVG has provided protection to my lapotp eversince. Of course one has to surf the web safely to complement anti-virus programs as there is no program that protects 100%.

Happy new year to you first of all the Anti Virus is same like the goverment regulation , it will set up a rules and orders where you need to get stick with it and which will slow your work . as every thing requires stamps attistation approval ...etc the anti virus cant give you a % 100 grantee that you wont get infected with a virus ... same like the gov they will provide you with the police service ,, also they dont gaurantee you that you will be 100 percent secure . but you know the funny things these days that Mca & Ant even AVGI ..all of them are having a developer team ,,.. they will devlop a new virus and issue it then later on they will announce that they found the solution for it .. its like marketing to make sure all the people will always have to buy this medicine . and regarding your inquiry if their is any free software ... if you will make a good search .. you might find a pirated copy ( u can use torrent....etc ) which all people these days are doing . take care N

Well, currently i'm using Bitdefender as my anti-virus for my computer and it has many advantages than disadvantages. It is also rated as the number one most used anti-virus in the world. So i would recommend using it.

In the market,there is lot of anti virus software available and we can also download some free version from the net.I think it is better to purchase a licensed version of anti virus software,so that we can update it with out any problem.I am using NOD32 anti virus software in computer for the last three years and this software is working very finely for me with out any problem.I have also tried softwares like Norton and Kasper sky,but after the installation the system performance is very slow,so i uninstalled it.

I use Norton and it's been just great. The cost is $50.00 per year. I will renew the agreement this year again once it's due for renewal. I would highly recommend Norton.

as regards anti-virus you can check something about avg anti-virus and nod too!!So there are both such as free edition and fee ones so you can see which one it is suitable for your needs!! In addiction i think bitdefender can be also a good choice...so try them!!even if normally mcafee work as a normal anti-virus but surely if you don't like it you can check these other ones!!

My coputer came with MacAffee. I disabled it and downloaded AVG free. I don't like macAffee. It interfers with my web browsing sometimes shutting down my computer for no reason at all. When I got AT&T ISP again MacAffee came with it. Again I diabled it for the same reason and continued to use AVG free. When I started having trouble with files moving and disappearing and other weird things happening, a friend told me about Avast and Microsoft Security Essentials. Both are free and much better than AVG. I haven't had any trouble since I installed Microsoft Secruity Essentials. You can just put either name into a search engine to come up with a download site. I don't know if a paid anti virus is any better or not. Every paid one I've ever had has interfered in some way with my internet connection and sometimes even with programs on my hard drive. I'm not a computer expert, but that's been my experience.

I have used many of the antivirus software out there at one time or another over the course of many years. My previous one was AntiVir which is great, and free, even caught stuff other pay services missed. Right now I am evaluating the new Microsoft Security Essentials which is free as well. So far, no infections found, it even scans for spyware.

I would go with A.V.G. or Antivir, either one, they both work very well. I prefer the AVG trial version...it has everything you need. Also, for more added protection, you might want to download Microsoft's "Defender" as well. It's absolutely great and will scan your entire system for ANYTHING that may appear dangerous...will let you know...and will clear it for you....also free. There is absolutely NO need to pay for an anti-virus these days. Plenty of FREE good ones are available on the internet. The two above are about the best that's out there right now, but I'm sure there are others that are just as good. I like these ones. cd

ok personaly i use avast home and it is awesome it finds all viruses even on websites. it is totaly free. you just register and then you just need to reregister every year. it updates daily and did i mentioned it was free??

i think you can use avira free edition.it's good and you can update with free.i'm use avira for anti virus on my laptop and i can update every time.

I use Norton. It's not free but I have never had any problems at all.

Hi,writersedge,I use kaspersky and it is great.Have a nice day.

There's a few free ones, of course they won't give you the same protection as the ones you pay for, but it's better than nothing. I've heard that one of the best is Avira, if you go to their website, they have a free version which you could try. A few friends use it, so if you like it, you could buy it, I think it goes around the same price as Mcafee.

i use symantec on my two pc's it never give me problem just update regularly .

I would recommend you to go for Microsoft Security Essentials. It is a free antivirus solution provided by Microsoft for its genuine customers. The MSE can be downloaded free from Microsoft official website itself. As per my personal experience, it is a very very nice free anti-malware solution i had ever seen. We will never feel like an anti virus is installed on our machine. Because it uses less resources, and silently monitors the machine all times. No annoying popups or dialogs. If a virus is found, then you can choose appropriate action and cleaning is assured. It doesnt had on the fly catching in case of downloading files. After the file is donwloaded, it will alert you only if the file is infected by any viruses. Doing so will not affect your system or network performance and download speeds. Microsoft Security Essentials got the best free Antivirus solution just after 2 months of its release. Antimalware testing group AV-Comparitives.org not only gave Microsoft antivirus the top rating for malware removal, but they had given it their best ranking in performance as well. AV-Comparitive ran a series of tests like downloading, copying, extracting and encoding, installing of files, and find that MSE is one of the only 3 products which completely removes and prevents malwares and along with that very light in system resources. So, if you had an option of best antimalware software free of cost from the world's top and best manufacturer of softwares, why would you need to pay others for protection?

I am using Ubuntu which really don't need any anti-virus program because linux machine is consider very hard to get infect. However, for my other windows machine, I used AVG which I consider very good since it is FREE.
