I use Avast! Home Edition coupled with Spybot Search And Destroy. Seems to work pretty well.

Before this i used Mcafee software. But, It is not worked well. So, i changed to symantec its working well. But, sometimes not. Im updating it daily.I think all anti virus softwares are like this.

Tried AVG for about a year and a half, but it always took so long - slowing my laptop down in the process. Then I rebuilt a desktop and decided to go for a change - Avira. This AV program seems to run more quickly, although the 'updating' takes a little getting used to ... plus it'll pop up a window that notifies you of necessity of an update. AVG used to give error messages when program was 'out of date', and THAT was a little annoying. I like Avira so much better I threw it onto my laptop as well.

One Care is being abandoned by MS in sometime this Summer...you should start looking at some of the FREE alternatives mentioned here such as Avira Avast or AVG... Do NOT use more than one A/V app at the same time...they will bang heads. |

Your missing out the worlds most secure (and for that reason it is probably the worlds most annoying because of all the alerts you get) AV. Zome Alarm!

True. One day I was scanning (and I didn't do anything to do this) and it picked up something like 10700 Trojans. They weren't real though. I did have to do tonnes to get my computer working again. Aside from that, it is very secure. At least for me it is. |
