    I am beta testing One Care and the new version is pretty good. (free virus scans and online backups are also good)

    I use the Symantec Anti-Virus program, however you spell it. It's pretty good. Whenever I run something it stops the program if viruses are detected on it, before it damages the system.

    You got just the anti-virus or the whole system works package that does backups and spyware too amongst other things?

    Hmmm BoP why you want to know what virus protection people use? Are you trying to learn what we use so you can find loop holes and hack into our computers?!

    Ok sorry I'm a little tired so my posts are a little... off right now. Any well I'm not sure what the name of mine is I use it but I can't remember right now I'll go check.

    I run Symantec AntiVirus. It works really well and stops me from opening files and websites that it thinks may have viruses before the virus has a chance to enter my computer.

    @BoP: Just the antivirus. I don't know if there's a whole system package you're talking about.

    There's Norton System Works. It has everything and the kitchen sink (most of it useless crap that slows down your computer)

    OMG ! ^^ U understand about antiviruses nothing... Norton? That housewives soft? McAfee? That antivirus looks like a banner. Live Care? Microsoft don't have antivirus making experience, it's fresh product, but not bad, because it should perfectly intergrate with Windows(theorically, bcos same manufacturer).

    Tell you what, guys. B'cos some of you are living in America, some in Asia, you are victims of antivirus companies marketing. Best antivirus solutions, according to many antivirus comparision tests are NOD 32 and Kaspersky Antivirus 7. I personally have installed Kaspersky Internet Security 7 now, and previous versions before, and never had the problems like system crash or random mouse jumping ^^ It works... just perfect. NOD 32 is good soft, but not my taste, because it's interface, but my friend have it installed on his old-crap PC, and says that it takes minimum resources with almost same security as Kaspersky. In many soft discussion forums there's always war between NOD 32 and Kaspersky users, who's the king antivirus etc. Norton, McAfee and Live Care are outsiders on these.

    I don't believe in Anti-Virus software. It doesn't work.

    I just use registry scanners and don't download random things.

    I use NOD32, and by use I mean it just sits there on taskbar and gives out an alert once in a while (rather rarely), but I guess it works :p
