I use Norton. I guess it's good since I haven't got hacked yet . Every once in a while it says it's blocked a trojan attack, but I assume it was probably just some program trying to use a common trojan port.

i use Zone Alarm Security Suite, with Norton Antivirus 2004 Pro
dont like ZA's Antivirus, but its Firewall is really good!

I also use Norton antivirus as well on my main computer back at home, every time I get some sort of threat or virus it is quarantined and deleted promptly. Also as of right now I don't really need to worry about viruses, in fact I don't even need antivirus software because I have a Macbook. On a sidenote I recommend Macintosh's for all whom only browse the net and don't play video games etc.

Well I use the norton bundle, anti-virus and firewall. I guess it works, yet again I have no way of knowing that. The problem with norton is that it slows down too much the system.

3. Lightweight Free Anti Virus Software?

   (5)

   Hello, I was wondering if anybody knew of a good free lightweight antivirus program, as I just got
   an internet connection on my slower computer. The computer itself can hardly be called
   internet-ready, it's over 10 years old, but it still works fine, the problem is I'm worried
   that an antivirus program would slow it down too much. (I have Norton Antivirus and Firewall on my
   other computer, which is much faster, and it slows down the computer a lot, especially booting. I
   kinda want this computer to be usable online.) I know that there are some great programs out ....

    it has no point, but learn every day about alternatives that are free (open-source) and that can do
    for many people or even businesses and advocate those in front of my friends and acquaintances (hope

    Norton Anti-Virus Software. (4)

    Well I picked Norton 2006 last night since my subscription ran out so I thought I give a review on
    it and let you the members of trap get a good idea what it all before getting it. The First thing I
    notice what was different then most Norton software after it install it automatically does the first
    scan of the computer (13 warnings_adware). Also for the first time it checks programs that connect
    to the internet as well but just a bit better as well then that awful 2005 where the block programs

    Ok. I got rid of NAV(Norton Anti-Virus) and installed AntiVir. The only reason I did this is

    at it and threw it into the ocean. But anyways, AntiVir is just temporary while I'm away from
    home. But enough of that, so the first thing AntiVir did was tell me i had a trojan....I got a
    message about this a day or 2 ago and this is what it was: trojan.wn32.apropo.225280 pro files>auto

    Have your anti-virus failed? are you full of trojans? and now your computer has your settings all
    changed? it happened to me... but i found a program that completes my anti-virus, a kind of
    "Settings Firewall". every time anything is changed (desktop, internet conections, startup) it warns
    you and let you decide to allow or reset the change. It has a sort of usefull tools to keep your
    computer running well and it also block "web bugs". this is good because if your antivirus fails,
    GSH will catch all the changes a virus/trojan does to your computer and let you reset them.....

    Anyone got that W32.Bagel virus yet? Supposably its spreading through Canada and U.S. Its pretty
    vicous (smart setup tho). It makes files that sound like adult material and it puts them in folders
    containing "shar". What that does it it puts those files that have the worm in them and those
    folders containing "shar" like My Shared Folder, Shared Downloads, etc, the folders for programms
    like kazaa and limewire, people download those files thinking they are downloading adult material,
    but they just get the worm, and then it happens all over again.....
