AVG and Malwarebytes. My PC guy told me to get rid of Norton and McAfee - I had severe viral (trojan) as well as malwareinfection even when using those programs.

I use Avira Antivir. Its free and what my computer engineer cousin suggested. I used to use AVG and then Avast but I got viruses while using those and switched to Avira. Avira removed those viruses and now my computer has been great.

I also used to use norton but its gone downhill and isn't that great anymore. Definitely better antiviruses out there, especially for that price!

I also use Spybot-Search and Destroy for getting rid of spyware.

I use AVG for Anti-Virus and use Ad-Ware to get rid of the spyware if AVG doesn't catch it.

Kaspersky ...Bit Defender would be #2 choice

This from the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer sitting beside me.

The free version of AVG anti virus. Works pretty good, never had a big virus, could be luck though hehe.

The guys at work recommend Kaspersky also. You can get it in stores for about $80.00 for three computers, or get the same version at purplus.com as a download (no disk, but you get a password for the other computers) for about$30.00 with no shipping fee because it is a download. You just have to make sure you pick the 2010 version and the right number of users. I think the single user download is about $25.00. Make sure to get the Internet Security, not just the Anti-virus.

Hope that helps,

I use Trend Micro...which costs me $80 a year....

 

[mardigraskisses]

Avast! And it's free. Trust me, I need a good anti-virus software for my computer and this one has never failed me.

Anyone using Norton should immediately uninstall and get something different. You'll thank me.

I have McAfee - I got 18 months free with my laptop. I'll go back to AVG when it's finished.
