whats a good antivirus (spyware, adware, virus ) program? ( 1 that can detect viruses accurately , adware, spyware, etc... )
what antivirus program do you guys use

.
i use avast by alwil, itz free (
http://www.avast.com/index.html ).
i just wanted to know what antivirus you guys use, cuz avast is wierd and the look of it is kind a like a media player.

uhh i hate the looks of it, but i heard itz a good free antivirus, but i wanna move on to something professional so i wanna hear your word on and i also want to know what antivirus the majority of srf used

had norton before, but it ate alot of ram

NOD32, recently switched to it after all the positive reviews and after research. I must say it is a great anti virus

nice i use to use kaspersky once , real nice itz all manual u get to control everything what programs to allow in or out of the comp , great antivirus..
well me being a member of yahoo high speed internet i get offered norton 2008 for free but i cant use cuz of the ram it eats.
NOD32 heard good stuff about it ( when i read NOD32 i think of a virus, lmao the name of the antivirus sounds like a virus name

)

Oh damn. I just realized that I don't have an anti-virus yet after reformatting my computer.
Guess I'm using Vista's Windows Defender to keep me safe?

AVG for me, just cause of its low resource usage. Anything 'dodgey' that I'm doing that requires a proper anti-virus I go onto my desktop and use avast.

avg. works well.
i had some nasty shit on my pc, with my general pc knowledge and avgs help i was able to eliminate them. i totally trust avg. if im really super paranloid i just use several online scanners to scan files, like when dling a pserver and things like that.

-Symantec Corporate Edition ( very good virus protector and finder )
-SUPERAntiSpyware ( good for finding tracking cookies i find )
EDIT: you anti-virus looks weird?? i am pretty sure thats the "Vista" style, my norton360 2007 edition is like that too ( DON'T USE )
