Doctor Spyware 3.2

But it's not a Antivirus Protection Program

Avast it seems have been somewhere voted the Best antivirus program. It has a 1 year free home users registration...after that, i dont know how much it costs.

i use it and so far, it has been very good. it has real time protection and there are 6 real time protection (web, ftp, p2p, IM, Outlook shield, Network shield)... go to avast.com to download it and register it for free for home use.

also it combines well with web root spy sweeper which has a free trial (have to buy for full version!), Spybot (free), ad aware (free personal edition). Having all these will ensure maximum protection for ur pc.

I am using McAfee Internet Security 2005.

Norton Anti Virus easily. It is rated as the best because it can pick up most virus. I haven't been infected by any of the big virus.

I personally use Mcafee Security Center.Been good to me so far.

Lol i use crappy Trend Micro PC-cillin

Don't use McAfee. I knew someone who worked at McAfee, and at McAfee, they don't even use their own virus software on their computers. Should tell you something.

i used Panda Antivirus ! quite good though.

but i have uninstalled it lately as it used to slow down my computer which i cant tolerate

Panda what a funny name
Its worth spending the money to buy a good anti virus protector. Given if you get a virus you would have to spend 4 times the amount of an anti virus program to repair it. It just ain't worth it.

AVG free edition, alongside Microsoft AntiSpyware works a treat.
