What Anti-Virus Protection Do You Use?

[David Jackson]

I used the paid version of Norton Anti-Virus for years, until recently. On a recommendation from one of my readers, I tried the free version of AVG 8.0.

Well, its been about 3 months since I switched and I'm ready to give you my analysis.

In my opinion, AVG 8.0 provides better overall protection than Norton. I especially like the new SafeSearch Link Scan feature where the software checks search results when you use one of the major search engines against AVG's database for known malicious sites and warns you of the potentially harmful link.

What about you? What anti-virus protection do you use? Are you happy with it?

McAfee is a nightmare. I switched to AVG two years ago, installed on a laptop & 2 pc's, and have had no problems since. Excellent antivirus software. Recently upgraded to version 8.0 - no problems.

Been using Bitdefender for 3-4 years on three pcs and had very good luck with it. they have several products - I use internet security. Many of my clients use it as well.

You didn't ask about this but in addition to antivirus I use adaware and tune-up utilities , run both every day and life is simpler with no problems. ON tune-up utilities I use the registry cleaner once a day.

Hope this helps someone,

AVG. Works well, keep up with updates. I did get some weird virus tho and had to install Prevx to get rid of it.
