    Default What do you use to protect your computer?

    We have gotten a ton of viruses lately, since our free trial of McAffee ran out. The computer has really been acting up. We are trying to find something to protect the computer as well as get rid of the viruses we have developed. What does everyone else use?

    We have Verizon as our internet provider so we have Verizon Internet Security Suite. This provides us with anti-spyware and anti-virus protection.

    I just bought a new PC last week and it came with a 2 month free trial of Norton. When that's up, I'll be going back to McAffee.

    AVG free, Zone alarm free, Adaware & Spybot (both free). And I keep my updates to Windows current by being signed up on auto updates.

    I use CA Security Suite, it's great and even blocks ads on pages if I want them too!

    I use Symantec--I get it free from school. I also use Ad-Aware and Spybot, which are both free.

    I will never use McAffee or Norton. I have had nothing but problems with both of them on different computers. I use Avast, Ad-Aware, I also use Trend Micro for their online scan. I go to www.computerwisetv.com and get computer advice if I need it.
