Which AV do you use?

Which one?

I'm using NOD32 on the desktop and Kaspersky IS on the laptop

But I prefer Kaspersky, that's why I voted in it

When I was running Windows, a combination of Avira and F-Prot, both free.

Now with Linux, I'm using Clamav to discover any infection inside those powerpoints a friend of mine use to mail me. But he's using NOD32 (I recommended it) and it seems he's clean.

AVG

It's gotten much better in the last two years as more people started using it.

I think Norton and McAfee are overblown resource hogs. I was really unhappy with McAfee's performance on my girlfriend's computer. It wouldn't even update itself. I swapped them from it (it came with her lapto ) to AVG and haven't had a single complaint since.

Something I've noticed about Norton is that it has more false positives than any other antivirus. Some err on the side of caution and think this is great. I think it's as effective as the US Terror Alert System, just raising the level of fear so that you buy into what they're selling.

Best advice I could give is to stay ouf festering porn site vaginas. girls missing fingers blowing hairy guys with unibrows, fart porn, butthole stretching, peeing in public on mens chests, these things most people should be aware off, but most aren't.
