      Ever since McAfee turned my old computer to sludge, I've been a Norton user. Also use AVG.

        AVG pro, and I swear by it. I installed the free version on all of my family's P.C.'s. Never had a problem with any of them.

            No, I used to use Avast and it's pretty good. I just prefered AVG thats all. I tried Antivir as well and that seemed ok.

              Avast Home Edition for me. Norton and AVG let in to many viruses for me.

                    hey guys, I went today and found a file and nothing sees any harm in it,
                    but after you execute you get to watch an hourglass for a few seconds then it tells you it's not a valid format. I'll be glad to email to anyone that wants to test your AV protection. and it'll make a few hundred copies of itself in a common folder for you to share and av won't see them either. drops winlog.exe in the sys32 folder and an entry in msconfigm ctrl/alt/del quits working.

                        So of all these protections, which are the free ones?? I think AntiVir is free, but I do not know about the others.

                        Because Norton 06 Auto protect is a huge memory hog, which I hadn't noticed until I formatted and was running without for a bit.

                          well I was going to reload this computer in a few days, too many beta programs for the last year, kinda neat to see all the services this trojan starts.
                          remote control of the registry! gotta fix regedit next!
                          stopped the packets and locked down all firewall exceptions
                          very impressed with the new trojanhunter!

                              This I take it searches for viruses. Does it zap them or do you have to use something else. This is a hunter not ant-virus protection, is that right? I mean trojanhunter, sorry.

                                Nice, I'll change to Avast from AVG. Noticed it was free.
