Antivirus protection?

  Kaspersky and NOD32 are the best anti-virus programs available. I use NOD32 because it’s lighter on my system than Kaspersky. Either of these programs are highly recommended. Recent tests prove Kaspersky and NOD32 are better than the best sellers Norton and McAfee.

  Norton is rubbish, it’s notoriously bloated and likes to take over your system. Trend Micro Antivirus is a viable alternative if you’re having a lot of trouble with software conflicts. Trend Micro rounds out the top three. BitDefender is very good as well, but gives a high number of false alarms.

  The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). If you want a free anti-virus Avira has higher detection rates than AVG or Avast! (94.26%).

  I use Norton Internet Security 2009. It has high detection, and low ram usage. Do I think it’s the best, yes for me it is. But there are some really good security programs out there. If your looking for one, try a few. All of them have free trails. I don’t really worry to much about trojans or spyware because I surf the Internet in a sandbox.

  I use the free package provided by AT&T. They used Norton when I first signed up and I never had a problem although many people say it uses too much of your computers resources. Not on mine.
  AT&T recently started offering McAfee instead of Norton. Basically the same protection and I have never had a problem.
