    Does your computer have anti-virus software installed?
    If so, what are they and why you choose them?

    I am using avast anti-virus software, its good and it was installed by the shopkeeper only from whom I bought my computer. I asked him to install best software in this business and he installed this one, is it good? Or should I go for Mcafee? Any suggestions.

    Thanks

    Norton 2008, no problems so far, doesn't use so much system resources as the previous versions.

    I use Avira because it is free. I have never been happier with an Anti Virus.

    I'm using McAfee to which I initially subscribed based on their reputation. However, I may not renew if they can't fix the continual interruption in site protection that I've been experiencing.:mad:

    I use Norton 2008.

    But haven't there been about 5 different threads recently about this?
