As for me, I have Norton Antivirus 2003. I doubt its the best, but its pretty good, the Website for looking up viruses that was made by the people who made the program really comes in handy. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/

We use AVG, and thanks to it, we found out that we have a Trojan Horse! Yay, we're screwed!

Symantec Anti-Virus Corp. Edition. Norton 2003, etc.

Norton SystemWorks 2005. t3h m00t. That's about it. And a combo of anti-adware/spyware stuff.

Norton Antivirus 2005.
Norton Personal Firewall.
The Firewall can be a tad annoying at times, it has annoying alerts. But it's probably my configuration. And the Norton system scan takes ages, but I'm sure it's well worth it.

AntiVir Guard
Kerio Personal Firewall 4

bitdefender 8
zone alarm as firewall

Err, whats that? Sounds like its from the same people who made the Antivirus program I have, but where can I download or try that?

Oh yeah, I also have Webroot Spy Sweeper for taking care of Spyware. Really good.

[My Best Wishes]

We, had Norton Anti-virius, but a viruis killed it.

Now we use:Ad-Aware, MYOB and some other little bits 'n' pieces.

[TobiasMar]

OMG! How did a virus do that?! Must be a real bad one! :ph34r:

[Golden Djinn13]

Thats wierd, aren't Anti-Virus softwares supposed to keep Viruses out!!!!! It's a sign of the Appocalypse!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.s. I use McAffe Virus-Scan ( It's called something like that)

System Works is Norton's PC protection package, which includes Antivirus, Utilities, One-Button Check-Up, CleanSweep, CleanUp, and GoBack. *Continues to resist the urge to rant about ignorance*

I use AntiVirusXP but i have no clue how good it is or anything - I don't have any viruses though. Usually i just go looking for files i dont recognise on the registry if i suspect a virus but i guess the programs are easier^^

[TobiasMar]

Well, yah, its good to have an exellent anti-virus and anti-spyware/adware program, but it's even better not to have any infections at all! I rarely get any viruses other than trojans though.

[Golden Djinn13]

It's like a curse for me to always get a virus on my computors. It's like they follow me around, but these days I don't get them anymore.

[TobiasMar]

Well, as for me, I recently did a scan on my Anti-Virus/Spyware programs, and I found out that there were no viruses on my computer (usual), but I also discovered that there were no potential Spyware cookies either (its like the 1st time it happened). W00t!

I have norton, I did a scan one day and I had nothing, then the next day i accidentaly clicked scan, but I was like "oh well, no harm, right?" and it found istbar on my computer :s

[TobiasMar]

WTF is Istbar? Never heard of it, but I imagine its pretty bad.

Once I found 3 Trojan Horses while scanning.

Hey dude, I looked it up on Google and found this really interesting site that you can remove Istbar: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...are.istbar.html
^^; I hope it works~

[TobiasMar]

Actually Kite, lightningstar (a.k.a. Icy) is a female.

Anyway, I read that article about Istbar, and it sounds pretty bad. Make sure you eliminate it ASAP, Icy.

Panda Antivirus Platinum 2005.

I had Norton before but decided to try Panda, so I tried Antivirus Titanium, switched to Internet Security, cause of more options, then to just Antivrus Platinum, sorta in the middle. It's also MUCH faster than Norton, and just as good, if not better.

[TobiasMar]

Recently, I threw Norton AntiVirus 2003 to the trash. Why? Because my mom bought the CD For Norton AntiVirus 2005! I installed it, and its really good, MUCH better than the 2003 version. It has more up-to-date virus protection and better ways to keep viruses/worms out of your computer.

[l3lueMage]

I use Mcafee, and I used to have a trial of Avast(got rated higher than norton and mcafee) it was good but sadly it ended :)
It would scan messenger programs, emails automatically, and it would be like WARNING VIRUS blah blah blah <_<

[Tachyon360]

Try setting your system clock back. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling it, cleaning the registry out, and installing it again.

I use AVG too. It finds the virus or whatever the problem is. But it doesn't do a single thing about the problem. Now that's a really good thing , right? *NOT* :angry:
