I use common sense 1.0 it works amazingly well in preventing viruses, keyloggers, etc. If more people would try it I think it would really catch on.

Avast on XP
Sweet damn all on Ubuntu boot, OS X.4 and my mobile phone.

You remind me of the people who always ask me to fix their computers. Now why is that?

Heh, that's what I use when everything else fails. Unfortunately it proves to be really time consuming :(
I remember this one time when I checked every byte of my PC just to find a winsys32.lol, and a whysoserious.exe(if I recall right). I still can't understand who come no antivirus found them. But anyway, that's not something I'll be redoing any time soon.

OT: I use Karsperky, because it come as a free supplement to one of my gaming magazines.

Mac. It works really well, actually; I've never gotten a virus. Epic win. :D

Avast! It be the best software out thar, me matey! And it be free!

Seriously, I have a friend who works in IT, he can't recommend Avast enough. I switched from Norton and couldn't be happier. Of course, I also have a linux netbook, so that has nothing on it.
No, they start charging you for the better software eventually. That's what they did to me.

That's when the problem started. They got me to buy something I didn't need, so I've reverted back to McAfee. This AVG seems promising though.

They do? Aw man! What a major letdown. :( Well, I've run both McAfee and Norton now, and I hate both. I'll try some of these others.

Home edition is still free. They only make you re-register every year.

I use AVG on my Vista Partition, but I use Avast! on my XP partition.
(I dual-boot XP and Vista)

Out of the two though, I definitely prefer AVG.

Arrr! Now that's what I likes to hear! Okay, I'm taking this pirate thing a bit too far.
