Have had a few over the years but sticking with Kapersky now. It finds what others do not.

Re: What flavour of antivirus software?
I've been using VIPRE from Sunbelt Software for a year now and have some issues with it - but then I think you get issues with any product.
I still have a copy of ZoneAlarm Security Suite but it's uninstalled so as not to interfere.
I had to uninstall the ZA firewall last week - it kept disappearing if I passed the mouse over the icon, leaving me unprotected.

A N Other - CA Antivirus on one. AVG on the other one. Zone Alarm is switched off but don't tell my husband.

Re: What flavour of antivirus software?
I have been doing a bit of research regarding antivirus software but I can visit a dozen top ten review sites and get different results.
I have, for many years, used AVG but to cut a long story short, it's no longer working with my pc.
What antivirus software are you currently using and what's it's best feature?

So I switched to Avast
Prefer AVG though.

Avira any good? Changed over from Avast just to see how it goes. Seems ok.

Re: What flavour of antivirus software?
Been using Avast for several years and never been hit. Mind you I am quite conservative in the places I visit.
Also run OSX "naked"!
On that topic, if you run Windows in VM Fusion (just starting to ply with this) is the liklihood and consequences of getting hit the same? I notice the lastest Fusion comes with soem free Av software

The advertising windows that pop up every day are a bit of a pain though.
Does Avast have them ?
