AVG, and for antispyware Spybot Search& Destroy.

I don't use antivirus.

Only waste memory and are unneceary. I have my PC in perfect state. If you know how to surf on the web, you should be fine without an antivirus.

I only use Spybot Search & Destroy, and the immunization option for the browser.



I have Windows XP, and I don't use an antivirus. I'm 100% confident if I loaded up AVG (which I normally use, but don't because Steam was acting up with it on), I wouldn't have any viruses.

A normal user should at least use AVG...there's no reason not to use a free, generally low-profile anti-virus.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I have a Mac. No clue, because a guy said viruses see Macs, laugh at it, shit themselves, then run away like pussies. Or, I could have thousands of viruses that I don't know about. Oh well.

I use Norton, because i like to throw away money like that lol. It came free when i bought my laptop for three months, i liked it, and it was less expensive if i went with my telephone companys anti virus. I also had a bad experience when my friend lend me FFVII the game for windows (ILLEGAL) and it gave me a virus at the time i had no protection, rendering my old computer useless. So from now on my computers will always have their electronic jimmy hats, so yeah Norton

A Mac is easier to program a virus for then PC... just nobody bothers too because it's so unpopular.

The main points of a virus are to

1) A make as many peoples lives a pain in the ass.

2) Steal info from as many people as possible.

It's like saying Pitsburgh is more prepared for terrorist attacks then NY because terrorists are afraid of Pitsburgh.

They aren't.  It's just Pitsburgh is so insignificant there is no point.
