    Question Spyware/Virus Protection?!

    What is the best one to use? I have Norton Anti-Virus on the laptop and I have SpyDefender Pro on the desktop. I'm not sure if I like either one... not to mention is costs $$$ to keep renewing it! I don't trust the free ones.

    I'm not a real techie, so any feedback would be great!!

    Thanks! I'm running out now, but I will look into AVG antivirus and Mozilla Web browser with ad-aware and registery cleaner when I get back tonight.

    So I guess there aren't many Norton or SpyDefender fans out there!

    How about McAfee?!

    I used to use the Adaware SE which is good for a free program but I have been using Webroot Spy Sweeper for about 18 months now and way better. I can do a sweep with Adaware and then with Spy Sweeper and Adaware always missed stuff.

    For personal computers, not a "real" network, I just use CA. I picked up a three user version of antivirus and anti-spyware for 49 dollars at Staples the other day for a client of mine and it has a 40 dollar rebate. Less overhead than Norton.

    I am not a fan of AVG due to several "cheap" clients having contracted virus problems while running it although it is certainly better than nothing.

    I'm cheap and am running F-secure from my ISP for free. Seems pretty good so far.

    I use the Trend Micro Virus for virus protection only. There spyware is not the best that's why I have the Webroot SpySweeper just for Spyware. Shit when my computer was new and I took Norton off and added Trend it was sooo much faster!
