McAffee for me. Too many programs confilct with Norton, and AVG isn't going to be free for much longer.

I use McAfee too. It ain't free, but it's never let me down.
AOL are doing a free anti-virus program.
Its getting some excellent reviews.
It blocks just about all types of internet nasties, viruses, spyware, ads, malware, trojans, rootkits etc.
And it updates itself regularly (several times a day).
Apparently it is free for 12 months, then you have to re-register. Its not clear yet whether AOL will keep it free for the second year - but they may well.
But at least you will get it free for now.

Users of a free version of GRISoft's AVG anti-virus software have begun receiving pop-up messages this week warning that their package would no longer be supported from 15 January.
This prompted concerns among a number of Reg readers that GRISoft was ditching the free version of its security software. Actually, the firm is simply encouraging users to upgrade from AVG Free version 7.1 to AVG Free version 7.5, which boasts improved performance and compatibility with Windows Vista.
A spokesman for GRISoft confirmed that the firm had no plans to ditch its line of free software, while stressing users would enjoy improved support with the paid-for version of the software.
"Users should be presented with a dialogue which explains their options," a GRISoft spokesman said. He conceded that, judging by the handful of responses we've received, this dialogue box was perhaps not as clear as it might have been. ®

I use Sophos Antivirus and it has been fine for me.
If you are willing to pay for one, then Nod32 is winning awards all over the place (and has been for years).
Its regarded by many in the industry as the best there is.

Slightly off topic-ish. But can someone help me?
I think my Antivirus has vanished.
I had a little Sophos logo on the bottom right hand of my screen with all the other logos this morning. It's gone now.
Please help before my computer catches VD.
