What is the best anti virus program for your computer ?

I have always ran Norton Anti Virus and I also have webroot Spyware protection. I have had absolutely no trouble at all. Thank You for this post

I don't use any of that stuff, but if I do notice slower performance, I run HiJack This! and it works like a charm.

best antivirus so far for me is AVG, i like norton and mcafee but the problem is they eat up too much resources than what actually is needed. which the avg does, full protection whiout too much compromise on performace

I am using AVG but only the free edition, so far everything is doing fine i never had a problem about viruses spyware etc.

I use both AVG and AntiVir. I used to use spybot search and destroy for adwares and spyware but now I've changed to spyware terminator and spywareblaster. All are free and there are regular updates.

Choosing an antivirus depends on preferences, and on the other tools present in your security arsenal. NOD32 has some of the best heuristics of all antivirus products, but it takes technical savvy to customize. Kaspersky is one of the very fastest to release signature updates, although their antivirus is too popular to be particularly effective in terms of detecting zero-day threats. Although I've never had the pleasure of using it myself, I understand GData AVK uses an innovation no-one else has yet; it's called OutbreakShield. GData partners up with companies that monitor Internet traffic. Whenever significant traffic is detected from any one origin, the content of that traffic is instantly flagged by AVK, and endpoint clients are updated in seconds. Until the item in question is verified to be safe, OutbreakShield will not allow it onto a host machine. I also favor the new antivirus from PC Tools, which comes in a free version as well. I've found it proficient in its ability to protect the registry and system directories, and for this I highly recommend it. Personally, I rely on my firewall to prevent particularly dangerous malware from installing themselves on my machine. I find it a lot easier to block threats at the network level, before they ever have the chance to execute. My firewall is one of the more dependable at this, and I use a reactive antivirus/antispyware solution. CyberDefenderFREE does little to protect against initial infection, but it is one of the quickest and most thorough in terms of detecting and removing zero-day threats. Of course, all it ever finds on my machine is ordinary grayware, which are just as easily removed with CCleaner.:) I appreciate the abilities of ZoneAlarm Pro, but a couple reservations preclude my recommendation of Check Point's products. One being the fact that it requires too much user intervention. Novices cannot be expected to know anywhere near enough to make the correct decision every time, and this concept also makes it a poor choice for servers. ICSA requires self-management for PC firewall certification, a prestige Check Point will probably never enjoy. Another problem, and a much more serious one, is the fact that their free version leaves out IPS. Having been stripped down to bare bones while its commercial big brother has grown more and more bloated, ZoneAlarm Free is almost nothing more than a plain, old SPI firewall, which is completely useless against drive-by infection and application vulnerability exploits. I recently found a free firewall that uses the positive security model, such as that in Citrix. It's called FeeBe WebWall. While IPS solutions with the common negative security model work by detecting and blocking traffic that match algorithmic signatures or anomalies, those with the positive model work by admitting any traffic that matches whitelisted protocols and blocking everything else. The positive security model is seldom recommendable to corporations, as it produces more false positives than its negative counterpart, and may restrict activities they happen to use. However, most home users wouldn't run into such problems, and the positive model is as good as it gets where Internet security is paramount.

well mcafee is better than norton cause norton to heavy on system resources, and i found mcafee to work very well
