    I use symantec Norton Antivirus 2006.

    I am quite okay with that but it is using more memory on my machine.

    What you guys use and recommand?

    Used to have Norton, then bought McAfee when they had a sale for $5 for the CD. ;)

    I use to use BitDefender but then bought OneCare and when I got Vista 64bit, neither of which support Vista 64bit so currently I have nothing. No viruses yet ;).

    Do you have a photographic memory or did you use the search button ;)

    What AntiVirus program do you use?

    Looking for good virus, spyware etc software, any suggestions?

    My 2.0 cents:
    * Norton has always been known as a resource hog.
    * If the program freaks out on you good luck trying to get it rectified.
    * They recently had a disgruntled employee unleash a worm specifically to attack NAV. FUN! It didn't affect the average user but I guess it hit some corporate sites, including CNN. It got into my wife's work too, she spent the better part of 2 days trying to patch and re-patch that sucker across her army of PC's (She tests process control software).

    I like AVG!!

    I will highly recommend NOD32. It is more effective than Norton or mcafee. It also utilizes less computer resources than norton or mcafee. It can be downloaded from here http://www.eset.com/

    I use Anti Vir, it's free and better than the free version of AVG as it picked up some stuff previously missed.
