I have Norton Antivirus 2K5. So far I've had no problems. Which is pretty strange considering its Norton..
McAfee 2005 is also really good. |

Only thing that works.
You can layer on as much AV and such as you want and eventually something's going to slip through anyway and trash your system. |

PC-Cillin is a great Windows AV program.
Otherwise, Linux. |

This is a myth that just refuses to die. There are fundamental differences in Linux and its communities which remove a lot of the root problems which exist in the Windows world. |
