I need virus protection

poopstains · Post by **poopstains** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 6:56 pm

So I just got a new computer and it came pre-loaded with macafee virus protection. My free subscription is gonna be up in may. I was just wondering what people thought was a good virus/firewall protection product. I've used Norton in the past and it did okay I had one virus get in and mess some stuff up pretty bad though, and Norton didn't get rid of it some other product did.

Oh yeah I'm running Vista if that matters

Is the free version very effective or should I just buy the full package for 52 bucks

or run Linux

+1 more on the AVG. i used it with Winblow$ for years, and it managed to make that OS a little more manageable.
