    I use Avast! Antivirus. I once used Norton, and then I realised how much it sucked.

    Avast! 2011 Free for me as well.

    I used AVG on my old computer and I ended up with 48 viruses, but since I wasn't the only one using it, I know who to blame-not the antivirus. I chose Avast! over AVG for flexibility reasons, though.

    Oh, I also heard a lot of positive comments from my friends about an AV called Avira, but I never really bothered checking it out.

    I personally use NOD32 Smart Security 4. I go from trial to trial. ;)
    I've found that it's footprint and memory usage is tiny compared to AVG and Norton. It's a lot easier for gaming, since I don't need to disable it when I want to play. I'm also very confident in it's detection rate.
    I don't typically use any antiviruses I've never used; MSE, AVG, NOD32, Spybot, and Malwarebytes are the only AV/AMW that I'm comfortable with using.

  • I use Avast, and it's by far the best free antivirus I've ever us. I used to have a NOD32 license, and I still think that's my favorite antivirus overall, but I just couldn't justify paying to renew when there are plenty of free options that are plenty effective.

  • i use symantec in my laptop now. i had avast! in my previous desktop, though, and it was pretty hassle as i practically had to reaffirm my license of usage or something every 6 months or so (i can't really remember), but it was effective. the one i use now (symantec) is pretty okay, although i'm already more or less careful, so i haven't had any major virus problem so far.

  • I had McAfee but it now expired so I don't have anything now...
    Probably gonna download MSE since I have it elsewhere =)
    And what I hate is AVG, Avira and McAfee (yeah I know...), AVG is pretty bad and Avira with McAfee almost always consider normal programs as viruses.

    Had McAfee, it annoyed the life out of me. I had Norton, it annoyed the life out of me. I use the free version of AVG currently.

  • Spoiler:
    y linux need antivirus?

    i c lack of common sense

    -------------------------

    I use Malwarebytes because its not Norton or McAfee.

    Apparently it doesn't like TF2 sending server stats though. Yeah, Malwarebytes, I don't think hl2.exe is trying to hijack my computer...

    I use Avast, it's working ok. But I don't like the popups about the license. Well, we all know that it's not the virus which is dangerous. But the user :D

    I use Linux, so the threat level is almost zero, but I do have ClamTK, just because, even though I really don't need it.
