Formerly I have used Antivir XP. But it annoyed me that it was slow a bit. AVG is the the way I go recently, nice prog, works hard.

I use mcafee firewall, virusscan, anispywear and everything else because i got it for free. I dowloaded it off Limewire and it said the previous sponseror already paid for it so i dont have to pay.

What Antivirus software, antispyware software, and firewall do you use?
I currently use AVG Free, Spybot: Search & Destroy, and Windows Firewall. [/color]

Like Ruben, I use Mac OS X. I have its firewall activated and am behind an Airport router which is tightened down. I do not worry about virsues--- Macs are well protected and I do not do much that is dangerous. I use F-protect on occasion to scan the shared drive for Windows viruses and I have used Clam-AV under Postfix to scan mail for viruses. I do not particularly want to pass viruses to Windows users that might not effect me.

I use NOD32 for my antivirus, it does a great job and uses very little resources, you don't even know it's running.I use my routers NAT protection as a first defence firewall, and I use zonealarm security suite with the antivirus disabled.I use zonealarm's antispyware function as my first defence against spyware/adware and I use spyware doctor as a scanner.A combination of these tools, in my opinion is a great defence.Of course you need to be careful what you download etc..-HellFire

I am currently using Norton Antivirus 2005 on my desktop computer along with Zonelabs Zone Alarm Firewall Pro which I did not purchase; I have a software for generating serials so it worked for me .It is working very fine but is using up most of my memory. Norton offers me live updates whenever I connect to the internet so I update virus definations and it is going on fine. If you are using Limewire there are high chances if viruses entering your system but never has my antivirus let me down though I use Limewire so much. Today it caught 3 Trojan Horses1 CyberWarrior.3172 Worms2 War32.system.CIf I did not have Antivirus my comp would be a breedind ground for viruses.Although I do not use any anti adware or spyware programs you can download Windows Defender which you can find on Google Search . For more queries on this topic you can mail me at rohanramanath@gmail.com ; Dean Solutions4u Enterprises.Hope You have a safe hosting and browsing.
