Which Anti-Virus do you use?

[Lorand]

What about this scenario: your antivirus is eating up memory and CPU while a newly written virus arrives on your computer. What will the antivirus do? Nothing...

If you understand how viruses can get on your machine then there's no need for an AV.

I disagree, a virus can come from anywhere, it could be that your IP is chosen at complete random, just because you avoid most or even ALL dodgy sites doesnt mean that you will not encounter a virus of some variety, allbeit a relatively trivial worm.

say ure mate havs a virus and he e-mails you a legitmate file and the virus jumps on board, wa u do them, wa?

"Why waist the space?"

lol @ sister remark... I agree before I moved out my computer had a near death expeirence every week thanks to virus (she'd DL everything of Kazzar ect).

I use Norton it does the job.

I'm not saying I'm an expert here - but can't viruses occur with the corruption of data, on the hard disk for example? You wouldn't even need the Inet or a bad disk, if you files get messed up then who knows what will happen.

I think everyone knows now what everyone else uses, this has been covered before, this thread is closed.
