What virus protection program do you recommend?
 

My Nortons seems to be having some kind of spazz attack in the last few days. It came up Wednesday evening with a message that the virus protection was turned off and that I needed to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Pain in the ass but I did that. Now this morning I turn on the computer and here it is again. Before I go through that I need to know if there is some other program I should be getting to use instead

Panda

They have a free online version that cleans things that makes Norton take a shit.

http://www.avast.com

it's free for personal use

What version of Norton are you running?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! I love AVG. :thumbsup

nortons 2004

nod 32.
norton is crap all the hackerz attack Norton proly as much as windows. and Panda belong to the scientologists....

http://kaspersky.com

Great antivirus, I've been using it for the past 5 years or so. They now also have a firewall as a separate product, I'm very satisfied with it too.

Funny, exact same thing happened on my laptop yesterday. I cannot reenable it. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but still cant get it to enable.

Maybe your subscription ended..you'll have to pay another 25 bucks or so for another year

Linux!

:thumbsup

norton :thumbsup

I use this and norton...

Its called get a mac. I dont even know what virus protection is cause I never get them. :1orglaugh

Panda - hands down the best.

1. Kaspersky
2. Panda
3. AVG - FREE :D http://free.grisoft.com

btw norton sucks, it's slow slow slow, and bloated

AVG by grisoft.com

Mine died earlier on today. I had to do a system restore, it fucked it up so much.

It's there, but it doesn't switch on for some reason. Gonna check out a few of those ones posted...

yes, you should use a subscription service that continually and automatically updates for new viruses.

anything else is outdated within a week.

Very strange as its happened to a few on here.

AVG is pretty good

the power cord, just put it out of the wall.

kaspersky is the best

Norton sucks, been using that program for years and I regret every minute of it
now i fully recommend TrendMicro PC-Cillin, doesn't consume too much of cpu

:smokin

I use http://avast.com/ - used to be on the AVG team but had some viruses that it couldn't remove. I got Avast and it blasted those viruses away - and it's 100% free and updated daily it seems :)

that's the one I'm having problems with :disgust

My subscription is still good for a few more months

Norton's comes with the live update that is supposed to update automatically all the time. Guess it missed something so I'm going to try something else that has been recommended here ,maybe in addtion to nortons hopefully that will catch just about everything cause this is a real pain, especially when I'm not much of a computer geek to really know what is going on :Oh crap

Check out Sophos:
