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.

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 ?
