appalachian_fox January 24, 2005 Share appalachian_fox Member January 24, 2005 I like Norton, but haven't seen any of the recent engines (since 2k3) so if they're getting possessive I wouldn't know. I also used to like Mcaffee, but Norton was far cheaper for me so I haven't even looked at it in several years. I run F-Secure now...I don't like it very much, but it's free to me as a University student and I've gotten increasingly cheap. Now I take other security measures and couple it with F-Secure and I've been fine, even though I don't like it much. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has to pay for it.

dwEEziL January 24, 2005 Share dwEEziL Member January 24, 2005 I use the Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate Edition version 9 and love it. I have heard good things about AVG but the first time I saw it (fragfest 2004) it only scanned for like 45 virii/trojans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_Berge_00 January 25, 2005 Share Ice_Berge_00 GC Alumni January 25, 2005 Everything I've heard about AVG is good. The only annoyance I have is that it defaults to 1am nightly scanning unless you register it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless January 25, 2005 Share Clueless GC Alumni January 25, 2005 I use AVG, it is good. I also use Spybot S&D, and Adaware to run as needed. I also use Mozilla Firefox to browse with, so I rarely need any of it, lol. Any time i have ever used Norton products, i've always had weird lock up and freezing problems, and just random goofy errors, got rid of Norton and all my problems went away.

Primus January 25, 2005 Share Primus Member January 25, 2005 I use norton, i like it I also use Ad-Aware, i like it better than Spy Bot. Gonna try out Microsoft's new spy ware program they say it's pretty good. You have to have a registered version of windows xp in order to use it though.

((Shockwave)) January 29, 2005 Share ((Shockwave)) Member January 29, 2005 I use McAfee Virus Scan 7 along with Ad-Aware, SB: S&D, and Spyblaster (Sets up protection for IE and Mozilla from spyware, It blocks a lot of crap. And the good thing is, it doesn't run in the background. It's like the immunization tool from Spybot, but much much better.) Haven't had any problems with spyware or viruses.
