Which antivirus software do you use?

by **ECE** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:24 pm

Which one?
Are you satisfied?
Did you pay for it or download it for free?

Right now I have none so I'd appreciate some suggestions! :oops:

I use avast! It's free and it does the job, at least I think it does.

avg

Free, works well...used by most of the geeky people I know.

I use Avira... I pay for it, not expensive and it's good.

So y'all Macbookers don't need antivirus at all? How come that?

I used to protect my laptop with F-Secure. IIRC I paid 40-50 Euros approximately for it. After a year or so it expired. Then I installed the 2012 trial version but it expired again few days ago.
Although it did do a great job I'm surely not willing to pay for any antivirus software anymore.
Some good recommendations I saw here, thanx!

...because he hasn't heard of flashback and probably won't until he discovers it on his Mac. In the meantime ignorance will be bliss.

AVG Anti-Virus :wink:

It's free and works perfectly for me!

I use Norton 360 too

It's great! I keep reading people saying it's crap, but I've been using it for like 4 years and I've never had a problem with it.

I've only had one virus since I got it, and Norton caught it in time and it did no damage.

And it's interesting cos when you buy it for the first time, you can put it on up to 4 computers! I'm on my Dad's one. But once the year subscription is up, you have to renew it and pay, but it's not that expensive.

This inspired me to check my subscription, but I still have 215 days left on it :lol:

Avast! for me, I used the free version for years, but paid to upgrade this year because it wasn't that expensive.

I have a strong dislike for Norton after being forced to use it for years and it severely slowed our computer down.

I attempted to go to a bad page (unbeknownst to me) several months ago and it stopped me, so it does do the job.

YES! You must, to be safe, any computer with an internet connection is at risk, some viruses can cause serious damage!

My computer had completely been destroyed twice from them and it finally gave up a little while ago and blew up! :lol:

I am highly satisfied with Avast.
