Your anti-virus and anti-spyware of choice?

Antivirus : NOD32
Firewall : Outpost Firewall Pro 2009
Antispyware : Spybot

I use Avira and PcmAV+ClamAV (Dual Engine) local antivirus~
ahaha~ it's hard to combine these two~

Anti-virus: ZoneAlarm
Anti-spyware: ZoneAlarm
Firewall: ZoneAlarm and the external firewall of the cable modem

Other than that it's just common sense, and Firefox with Adblock Plus (I need to get NoScript too but the only time I remember it I'm busy or stopping for the night).

Haven't gotten a single virus in over 4 years and the only spyware I've gotten is tracking cookies, which are scanned for and deleted every couple days. Only downside to it is on my older computers if it updated while I was playing a game it was use too much of the CPU, which fortunately is no longer a problem with this computer but overall it's less of a resource hog than the last couple AV's we tried (can only remember the name of one of them, which pathetically enough was Norton's... we used it for 3-4 years and every year it used more resources and got more cluttered and useless, when we changed to ZoneAlarm there was a ridiculous amount of crap that was caught and deleted.)

AV: Avira
AS: CCleaner & Spybot Search and Destroy

For Anti Virus Hmmm
For Anti Virus AVG
For Anti Spyware C Cleaner

I allways wonder how people get to viruses... I only had one in my whole computer experience. (And I never had my computer "protected" by something...)

Anti Virus: Avira
Anti Spyware: Spybot Search and Destroy

Some friend give usb to you for storing data .. he/she said that usb is clean and no need to worry ..
voila, your computer infected tomorrow ..
just for advice .. better check your com's health daily or weekly .. no one know there are viruses or somewhat in it .. using antivirus won't hurt

OT :
I use Avira for my Antivirus ..
yep .. Free one .. but useful ..

Before used Avira, now i am using Microsoft Security Essentials.

Also used a bit Spybot Search and Destroy, but now i have Malwarebytes.

Same here. But I have Malware Anti-Bytes(?) for scans. Avast takes forever.

i use Microsoft security essentials, its been the only anti-virus software that seems to do something

Used Avira Anti-Vir and Spybot Search and Destroy with Adaware-SE sometimes. But after switching to Linux, I haven't had to use these... yet.

I have Norton 360 antivirus and firewall. I have used Norton products 4-5 years and works fine!

My fried used Avast but it messed up his computer because it deleted some important files.

Well. It does take time. And disc space. And cpu load. And nerves. Atleast if you use some of these paranoid AntiVirus tools which are running all the time, ask if something want to do something, etc. Every week some checks, thats ok. But more is paranoia I think.

If you're not protected by anti-virus and a firewall, you will never know if you are infected. Many viruses now a days only use your computer to spam others, so you may never know that you are infected.
In short, no matter how good you are doing, you wont know if you are infected if you do not run some anti-virus and monitor your out going connections.

That flaws can be repaired by maintain your comp's performance well ..
and using some low-memory usage antivirus of course ..

And like Jenslyn said ..



So better using it .. just an advice
sacrifice a bit of performance for comp's guard/health is okay enough ..

none, i dont have any. never got touched by any virus.
