What type of virus protection/anti spyware do you use?

[pdchris]

This is what the IT guy at work is telling me, that Symantec isn't nearly good enough. Also, to listen to him, you should Never hardly go online, so many scary things out there! (as if I could stop DISing........ )

That's not really good advice. If you know what you're doing and practice good, sensible security (firewal, a/v, a/s, up to date with patches, etc), you should be safe. My job title is Network Administrator and one of my primary duties is protecting the organization so I keep up to date on what's going on. True, it can be frustrating when user's start to think the company internet access is THEIR internet access but it's a valuable tool for research, etc.

Thanks for all the responses, and good suggestions.

I just got a new computer last month here at home (my kids have my old one)

I do a lot of my work from home, and burn CD's to take the files to the office. DH thinks what we have now (Norton) is fine, and we haven't had any problems so far, but the guy in charge at work is always finding SOMETHING wrong. I know its his job to protect our work system, but sheesh, unless they're going to buy all this fancy protection stuff for me, I think I'm doing ok.
