What is Your Antivirus?

What do you use for antivirus?

My wife and I use Zone Alarm Security Suite on our desktops, and I use Avira on my laptop. I'm considering switching my laptop to Kaspersky. I always liked it.

Norton Antivirus, 2008 version I believe.

Kaspersky Internet Security goes on any home & home customer PC's because of the Firewall, Parental, Virtual KB etc. options plus, options for 1,3,5,10 PC's to a household plus 1 & 2 yr options at good prices and it has an "idiot" mode so it works and only informs of real problems unlike the Norton/McAfee et-al

ZA was thrown out years ago when they played and messed up, it has always been the AV equivalent of Comic Sans - just for the under 10's as it's a shock/panic toy.

Work here is F-Secure but thats because it was free but again, works, no hassle but way expensive compared to Kaspersky.

So in order...
Kaspersky
F-Secure

Let me know what you need and the US costs as we buy trade here.

My anti virus is common sense 1.0

When things get slow or infested it becomes Bart PE and an image of my hard drive from right after it was configured to my likings.

linux

I use that.
My 2 largest customers do too - and I don't get a lot of calls about "virus" like I did when they were using Mcafee or norton.

Click it - buy it - I get $5!
