Need a top of the line Anti-Virus Software
Ok, so I've ordered a new HP laptop and basically got it all decked out. I want to protect this thing and get a top of the line Anti Virus.
I've found a McAfee "Total Protection" 10-1 which sells for $123.87 before rebated on their website. I can get this same one for under 40 bux off ebay, brand new of course with everythin there. (UPS code, etc...)
Any suggestions? I don't mind paying for it, so nothing free download crap.

grisoft AVG. It's free and really really really good. I liked it so much I bought the enterprise version for my company. It's been less hassle than any of the big names (norton, mccrap, trend) and 100% effective. Updates are hella easy and fast too.
I'll post a link to the download in a second.

It's free to the home user for the LIFE OF THE PRODUCT.

I use AVG free as well...had norton on a different comp at one time and i thought it sucked. Caused more pain than anything. www.download.com search for avg free.
I didnt click on the link above though so that probably works too

I use a free anti spyware called avast... but i've heard from the computer nerds that trendmarco is the best...
and I had bad experience with both norton and macafee

First of all, nVidia Firewall is one of the biggest POS in the world.. It is easier to hack then the Windows Firewall..
Norton and McAfee are... well O.K. they slow EVERYTHING on your computer down..
TrendMicro PC-Cillin is a realllly good Program, I'd suggest that if you're looking for a new one.
If not Trend Micro, Get Windows Live One Care.. Im using it right now just kinda testing it out and it's pretty nice!

I use eTrust EZ Antivirus. The first year I had it was free and I just started the second year for 20 bucks. I've had great luck with it. I've accidentaly clicked on those viruses that get sent around AIM numerous times and had nothing happen to my computer while everyone else got all messed up.

I'm gonna try trendmicro I think. There's multiple 1-year subscriptions brand new with all software on ebay going for just under 20 bux.

It's a good piece of software, easy to use and very effective. There is other software available, but this is one of the best ive ever seen as far as ease of use and how well it works.
The free stuff works O.K. I used to use AVG Free and some of the others, but if you're looking for total protection and easy use this is the one.

Just received my anti-virus.
Got a 1 year subsription to Trend Micro PC-Cillin for $15. Loaded easily and out of the way when I run apps.
