My McAfee subscription is about to expire so I wondered if I should renew for 3 years or look for something else. What do you guys use?

You may select more than one choice.

I was using (and loved) AVG until I updated to FF version 3. For some reason, FF3 and AVG were not compatible, caused my browser to crash on a very regular basis.

I switched to Clamwin, another free anti virus. It runs very quietly in the back ground and is not a resource hog. So far, I’m very happy with it.

I use AVG Free. Excellent. Just don’t use one of these!

Me too, I use just AVG.

Used to have Norton and other Windows security programs running such as Windows Defender running and firewall all at once, things got blocked by that one and allowed by that one, then blocked by the other one.. Basically, too annoying!

So AVG Free it is!!

I don’t use anything 2 – 10.53%

I put this in as a joke. I’m sure that these two votes are also a joke right? I hope so anyway. I can’t imagine having a pc that is online not having anti-virus software.:Cry:

I’ve used Avira Free Anti-Virus and have for 2+ years now. It doesn’t use a whole lot of system resources and has been very good to me so far. I tried switching to other programs a couple of times, thinking they must be better than a FREE one. But switched back every time.

If you are careful on what files you open up, you really don’t need to have a anti-virus program in my opinion. To be on the safe side, AVG Free is good to use and it’s free. If you have folks like me that open up every email file that ANYONE emails them <span title=” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />, then I would recommend Trend Micro. I have tested it on XP and Vista and it works great.

NOD32. Great product, sometimes a bit over zealous. Uses a lot less resources than most other products.

I’ve been using NOD32 for several years. I HIGHLY recommend NOD32 :hattip:

After using McAfee for years I decided to try something different based on my research which showed that that were other products that were better.

I tried NOD32 for approx 3 months and it seemed ok but didnt seem to catch anything even though my puter was acting funny. Kaspersky had some of the best reviews so I wanted to try it unfortunately I could not install it as it still thought I had McAfee installed (I didnt) and there wasnt an easy enough fix so I couldn’t test it.

I recently installed Bit Defender and it found viruses that were missed by NOD32 and it seems to be an excellent choice at this point.
