If you insist on paying for protection then ESET is IMO preferable to NORTON OR Mcafee.


I bought two PC's with Windows XP on the same day for my teenage boys. When the first one got infected I browsed for "the best free anti-virus program" and then decided to download AVG onto the uninfected one. Later, when the infected computer was back in operation, I installed the AVG software on that computer. So far everything is OK. The computer I use is an Apple G5 OSX 3.9 which has never had antivirus software installed and has never been attacked in the two years I have been using it.
