I need to buy an anti virus program, but not sure which ones are good. Just wondering what everyone else uses

Norton Anitvirus combined with Norton Internet Security and Antispam. It's blocked a few attacks that were trying to get in and customizes rules for any new programs being added.
I've had McAfee before and that did NOTHING for me

On a tech-saavy forum I read, absolutely nobody recommends Norton or McAfee... There's another one out there that's actually free that is apparently superior to both of the big commercial products and has updates every few hours. I can't remember its name - I'm in class now, when I get home I'll find it and let you know Dan.

I use Symantec Antivirus corp edition. Its pretty good, haven't had any problems with it.
My personal opinion, TrendMicro's PC Cillin is the best thing out there. Just by doing an online scan on www.trendmicro.com (which is free btw, give it a try), it catches some stuff symantec doesnt. Great protection, and it doesnt eat up too much resources like Norton stuff does. McAfee is no good. I used it for a while, not too great.

I'm currently using eTrust EZ AntiVirus + EZ Firewall combo on my laptop. So far so good.
