we don't need no stinking anti-virus programs

a virus would be like an upgrade on my PC

I use Norton AV and Personal Firewall. They've never let me down.

I've used McAfee (Network Associates) for years. Catches ALL the viruses and, unlike Norton, has no interactions or interference with good software.

I used to use mcafee but have since moved to norton and have had zero problems. Never got a virus.

Norton is usually very cheap on amazon.com

McaFee how ever you spell it was the best for awhile but in the past couple years went down hill and Norton has taken over. At school we have Macafee and at work we have Norton. Both hit by the same Virus and Norton killed it and Macafee let it past. Norton 1 Macafee 0. Just my 2 cents.

I second this one. it is called AVG and works very well and conflicts with nothing, unlike McAfee.
Norton comes in a strong second, but AVG is free and all updates are free. Can't beat that.

Norton Internet Security- AV and Firewall and Ad blocking all in one. No problems running it with the other SW I use.

Another vote for Norton's.

I have heard much good about www.centralcommand.com and Sofo as well

Interesting, I've had exactly the opposite result (or at least some of my friends have); with McAfee catching viruses on my system, and Norton letting them slip through on theirs, and screwing up other programs, to boot.

So, based on our experiences, Norton and McAfee seem to be the best commercial virus catches out there....

Norton, with automatic update enabled - for those who forget that you actually have to update the virus signatures every now and then.

Norton and ZoneAlarm.....:thumbsup:

I recently set up Symantec (norton) Small Business Client security for a client

I definately like it. The anti-virus portion is nice because you can have a computer act as a controling "server" which you can use to configure the other clients remotely. They also get their AV-list updates from the server instead of each one going to the internet, which makes same time auto updates real nice on the bandwidth. It also has the firewall portion which is the same way, but right now I'm in the process of learning that

I have the same thing set up for 70+ pc's and 6 servers. It really is an amazing package.
