What anti-virus do you use ?

I use AVG :)

[Luke Beale]

I also use AVG and I think "Other" would be a good option.

Well the maximum is 10...

So i removed Panda Security and added Other.

[Luke Beale]

Thats better.

Hopefully AVG will be mainly used.

How about a "None" option? I run Ubuntu 8.04, so I don't have an anti-virus. :)

I use Norton Internet Security, which includes Norton Anti-Virus.

I use McAfee VirusScan and I think it is good .But it sometimes is hard to update .

While I am a fan of Ubuntu and Linux in general myself, it's still a good idea to have a virus scanner installed.
Linux isn't bullet proof, though it's vastly more secure than Windows, even in it's Vista form.
Linux virus scanners do exist, and they can be useful for those that also use Windows as Linux won't automagically strip viruses from files, meaning you can end up as an unknowing carrier, spreading malicious code to other systems.

Under Windows, I use AVG, though it pretty much destroys performance when it starts and finishes working (scanning & updating), which is alarming as I'm not running a P4 with 512MiB of RAM or anything (Core 2 Duo Centrino (3.33Ghz combined), 2GiB DDR2 RAM, 250GiB HDD that Vista says scores 4.0 out of 5).
Under Linux I do \ did have one, but it's not always active.

Anti-virus is very important in the world of internet. That's why I use two anti-virus. NOD32 for my laptop and Norton anti-virus for my desktop. I'm very much satisfied of the features of both anti-virus because it really gives protection to my gadgets.

I tell no one the combination of security software than I use. This gives people information that they really don't need about you or your system. Do you give people the pin numbers on your debit or credit cards? I thought not.

I use the free edition of AVG. The 8th version has anti virus and anti spyware tools in it. After upgrading my pc to AVG 8.0, my pc never get infected with any viruses and spywares.

[grishamist]

I trust AVG Pro. It's a user-friendly anti-virus.

After re-formatting my pc almost a year ago, I have not had one virus since.. And Guess which one I use.. none :D only protection I have is windows firewall and i think i turn that off most of the time because i find it annoying.

p.s please can no-one send me a virus.. its not very nice you know :P

I use Avira and Avast anti viruses. But before that i was using Panda anti virus, but it used to take a lot of memory space. So i switched over to these viruses.
