    Default Computer Antivirus Software

    I purchased a new Computer not to long ago, and I was wondering what the best protection would be for it. I usually use the free AVG but I do not know how good that really is, and this one was not cheap so I would like to get good antivirus software. Thanks for your input.

    AVG Free is fine as long as you aren't surfing eastern European free porn and the like.

    More and more antivirus is getting to be a joke. I probably run into 10 executables a day that are caught by ~2 vendors and I'm not even looking hard.

    Stick with AVG if you can. Works well and cheap. Don't use Norton360 or McRapee.

    Trend micro is pretty good too.

    I'd stick with the free AVG, what I use and I'm in the business.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    We used Webroot-seemed to work pretty well but when we switched to Comcrap theirs was free.
    So far so good but no Albainian porn

    Still using Avast on all my computers, out of a combination of laze and cheapness. Don't know how great it is, but it appears to be working so far.
    Math is tough. Let's go shopping!

    Default Thanks for the info

    Thanks Guys I am MARRIED I dont get to look at porn. I mainly just use it for surfing the web and my wife uses it for facebook, she is the one I am worried about she likes to research alot of stuff. Mostly useless info but it makes her happy and you guys know when the wife is not happy neither are we. I caught a virus one time just looking for a fuel pump relay location, I bought a manual after words.
