What Anti Virus do you use on your home pc's?

[SimpleSi]

None on my machine - AVG on the rest of the family.

AVG here as my experiences with Symantec Corporate Security are not good. Same goes for Norton Internet Security too. I re-install every year or so too.

Mind you, I don't think i've had a virus on my computer for years (or even detected one)

[localzuk]

Nothing on Windows. A/V is a pain and techs really ought to know how to avoid running malware without it spoiling too much of their fun.

So what's wrong with ClamWin then?

Sorry but due to the way worms spread (most of the big ones from the last couple of years for example), you should really have some form of A/V checker. It doesn't have to be an active scan one though.

No matter how secure you think your computer is, virus/worm/malware writers will still manage to get through somehow, exploiting some deeply hidden bug in the Windows code or the code in your web browser.

none, they're linux. Occasional scan with RKHunter and set and MS file to default open with clam.

well i used to use avg then i had a problem and switched to mcafee (worst thing i ever did) and am just about to change over to kaspersky seems really good and does not slow pc down to a snale pace.

nod 32 on my home server and computers

[witch]

Did have remote Sophos via LEA - that's been stopped now and we will be going over to Nod32

So now I use AVG on all my home machines (8)

[Ben_Stanton]

NOD32 across the board at home. Can't fault it. Small footprint and not too resource hungry. Plus I get it free

[TechMonkey]

mixture of AVG, Sophos, and Avast. All free versions. Don't want to leave myself wide open but not wanting to pay for someones elses stupidity

[tom_newton]

AVG.

[phreak]

Used to use AVG but now I use Avast

[Pottsey]

Avast. Used to run XP 64-bit and for the longest time Avast was the only decent option.

[carnforthhigh]

AVG all the way

[stephenleak]

Norton AV 2007. I've used it since the Peter Norton days and you get to like what you get used to. Fortunately, my PC's have been powerful enough to cope with its demands and it looks after itself and does it job in the background. I always update each year, in case the core program has been improved, and it usually works out cheaper than just extending the update subscription.

Techs might, but rest of the family won't
