459478 2006-05-31 21:31:00 Avast Free. Tried AVG Free. Good but it's update system was suspect. Gave up McAfee as a resource hog.. paulw (1826)

459480 2006-05-31 22:11:00 Which anti-virus do you use? Does anyone use Panda anti-virus? Is there any better than other anti-viruses?

I used to use panda but it's a recource hog and kept popping up unneeded messages, didn't get any viruses using it though. That guy has an annoying voice 'welcome to panda anti-virus'
I just use AVG now, NOD32 is pretty good though

459481 2006-05-31 22:47:00 Avast Pro .

I like how it scans incoming/outgoing email, scans files sent thru Mirc, and most of the IM programs available, and even scans files while they're downloading .

And it also scans websites, as they're loading . It doesnt slow the system down, from what I've seen so far, and it automatically updates .

I also noticed last week, it blocks things flying around the net (it blocked LSASS and DCOM attacks) .

I use it along with Comodo Personal Firewall, which is a good firewall for a freebie . And this firewall is definitely free .

No annoying nags to tell u its going to run out, and once u get the activation code, it and the updates are free for life .

I've used most of the other AV programs, most of them were either too big, full of bloatware, cut me off, or detected viruses that didn't exist .

459482 2006-05-31 22:56:00 I use Pc-Cillin and have not had any real problems

in the past i've used AVG (years ago now), which was hard to configure, but from what i hear it has improved heaps
And Panda - which i really liked, but couldn't find an NZ distributor at the time

459483 2006-05-31 23:09:00 The poll is flawed, it doesn't have NOD32 as an option.

Avast is also not there.

MT Lance, when you set up a poll, do try to make truly representative of the products available, rather than to rely on the "Others" section.
