Re: Good anti-virus programs?

If you've got a strong rig & don't play too many games, it might do alright...

I must admit, I am curious about what this topic turns up. I haven't been able to play online for almost a year, ever since a virus hit my computer hard. I have anti-virus now, Trend Micro Internet security which seems to do alright. I had Zone Alarm before the virus hit, which expired shortly before the attack. That did alright, it let my rig play Battlefields 2 & 2142 online, but as soon as it expired, it let the virus through & picked it up during a scan, deleting the Windows Start up file it was hiding in.

I think that's the most help I can be for now. I'm curious to see what else comes up...

Sorry to say, but Norton isn't worth it, from personal experience all of their "anit-virus" programs actually put viruses on your cpu or just let them go by without trying to stop them

Microsoft Security Essentials

i know M$ gets a bad rap, but i've used it for over 7 months, on vista, xp, and 7 even during beta, it rules. low on CPU, never noticable, and i downloaded 5 obviously virus-ridden things from limewire and it did catch them all immediately
