What antivirus pragram do you use?

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

The main problem with Norton Anti-Virus and Internet Security is that it gets overzealous in its protection, usually preventing web pages from displaying properly (especially secure sites) and often blocks access to the mail server (a very common problem I deal with at work). There are workarounds but they're a nuisance.

To guys who use Zone Alarm only. It prevents from people to spy your PC and it's not antivirus program. You should get one of those as well.

Never heard of it until this thread, so no. I've only ever used VET and for the last three years Norton Internet Security.

I use Norton as an Anti-Virus.

I use Blackice as a firewall best you can get (Y)

Personal experience.

Which goes to show you didn't/don't know that ZoneAlarm is also an antivirus software. Sure, it is a standalone firewall, but it comes in an antivirus bundle aswell.

I jsust think that it doesn't do antivirus protection as well as classic antivirus programs. But as for firewall, there's no better thing as ZA.

That's not what came out of your initial post, you didn't know it had antivirus. Now you're implying you did, you just prefer other programs over ZA's antivirus.

I didn't know ZA came with anti-virus either, but as a firewall, maybe it was ages ago but I had problems with it crashing. Maybe I'll give it another try just to boost up my security.
