Inspired by Kaos Creator's thread, I was wondering what virus scan program (if any) that you use on your PC.
 
We use Norton Utilities.
 

I learned the hard way. The laptop died when I had I don't know how many viruses in it. When I got this one, I put a new version of Norton's on it. :)
 
I use McAffee online scan and it notifies me when there are updates.
 
Norton Professional with automatic updates on everything.

It's wonderful!
 
Even though I have a Mac I still run Norton and have it set up to receive updates as they become available.
 
Norton. Both at home and at work with a corporate application
 
The place I worked for (software testing facility) didn't want to pay for Norton (it was more at the time) so we all used McAfee. I finally bought my own copy of Norton the 2nd time a virus brought almost the entire place to a screaming halt . . . and McAfee couldn't find it - updated or not! They continued to use McAfee & I'd notify people that someone was "sharing" a virus over the network that Norton found. After a couple years, they finally broke down & bought the corporate version. :rolleyes:

DF's PC came with McAfee, but when he bought a cheap no-name scanner the software wouldn't install with McAfee. He's now using Norton also.
 
WEll, I had Norton...and it did not pick up the virus........boy did I have problems...it took me 2 days to fix the problems...So, Now I am on McAfee.
 
I used to have McAffee until it caused so much trouble on my computer and it missed several viruses while I was in college. I am now on Norton and much happier.
 
I have used AVG for the last couple of years and loved it. This PC came w/ Norton's and 3 months of free updates and it's O.K. but I really like AVG better so when the 3 months is up I'm switching back.
