    What is the best Virus Protection Products?
    [FOR THE COMPUTER YOU PERVS! :D ;) ]

    Free Download?

    Store Bought?

    I don't like Norton cause I had a few friends that were locked out of
    the internet until it was removed.

    I use Symantec Corporate 10.1.I gett it from work, and don't think it's affordable for most folks. It really works well, and even watches out for adware.

    AVG Free is great.

    If you want to pay for something NOD32 is good too.

    Both of them have other ways of detecting files that can harm your PC other than just a definition file. One being Heurisitcs, which i like.

    I used to use Norton, but got frustrated that every update, every new version sucked up more and more system resources while missing the occasional Trojan or virus.

    I've been using eTrust ezAntiVirus for a year now, and have been very pleased with it's low-profile and high-protection.

    Just like sex, it's abstinence. Don't go to unknown sites.
