Anti Viruses

What are your favourite AVs ?

I use Norton Anti-Virus, not the best, but its still good, i think that the leading AVs are BitDefender and PC-Cillin (make a google search) ..

Re: Anti Viruses

In my opinion, actually the Norton antivirus is the best, to be more specific the Norton SystemWorks 2003 or 2004, you can run the live update every week, so the pc would be always protected
...few years ago (1 or 2) the McAfee was great and before the Pc-Cillin...
For the McAfee update, you can login to the website and search in the download section for "superdat" files

Re: Anti Viruses

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Is The Best On The Market Right Now.
For Me I Use Zonealarm's Anti-Virus (Comes With ZoneAlarm Security Suite) Pretty Good And Use Minimum Resources To Run.

Re: Anti Viruses

Zone alarm is bad for lebanese connections, especially cable connections. I'm searching for a lite firewall that deosn't affect in any way my internet connection.
