I switched to Ubuntu Linux OS so anti-virus software is not required.

I use Linux, so don’t use Anti-virus on my personal computers, although I do run a firewall, both software and hard.

However, when I fix peoples computers, I typically install ClamWin and Spybot, because ClamWin is really good on resources, unlike a lot of the other popular anti-virus programs. ClamWin is not a real time scanner though, which accounts for its better use of resources, so for those with limited computer experience, I like to install something more aggressive, like AVG.

I might have to give Kaspersky a try though, because it seems a lot of people like it.

I’ve used Avast now for quite a while & have absolutely nothing but good to say about it.I never liked Norton or McAfee..

I use Comodo, which is not only an Antivirus suit, but also a firewall solution. I also use Avast. I have to test many products, as a few manufacturers send me free licenses to test and review.

I am fortunate, and hope to test many more AV programs in the future that I can share with all of you.

Hey Frank, I use Kaspersky because smarter people than me say it’s the best solution. I know Kristi uses it but the real question is: what do you use and why? How’s that for a 180 on the survey?
