I'll start ^^

I'm a McAfee devoted fan for years now... I love the active protection, if an .exe or any other kind of file contains a virus, it detects it as soon as I download it on my PC, before it can do any harm... System scan is done fast and good...

I once used Windows OneCare crap and my PC was infected with some shitty virus one day cos the OneCare antivirus had been frozen and couldn't act...

Well mcaffe is great, come free while ur with comcast cable, but it lags even the fastest comp.

I like their firewall security better then any other brands

I use AVG and NOd32, to me both are good, i havent got a problem with mcafee, but for the meantime 2 years with AVG and NOD32, its nice scans same a mcaffee wen a DL is finished, bad part, some trojans, can get thru any antivirus no matter which name brand it is

Well I use Avast Professional for about 3 years now, maybe more.. Im very satisfied with it. Tried AVG professional edition, but it deleted most of my cracks and patches, so i backed the Avast =.=
I dont use any firewall because of my Shoutcast / Radmin servers and shared files on the local network.. Too lazy to adopt the firewall from blocking them.

I use McAfee, it pwns :) Except, when you didn't update it in a long while it gives some problems to upload it again :P I use AVG now lol, it's free, and since I'm not allowed to play games on my mom's laptop it doesn't matter alot

I've used Nortons, Mcaffee, and others. Wound up with Avast free version. Cheap, easy, free.
I use Windows and Router Firewalls. I know it's not much, but the determined hacker can get by most anything anyway. I just deter the curious everyday joe.

So you're saying you got McAfee latest version with 100 months license? I guess im the #1 interested if that's true.

im using Shaw Secure: https://secure.shaw.ca/apps/shawsecure/default.aspx

it comes with my internet for free, have no clue if its actually any good. but ive got no viruses, so im not complaining, probably because my linksys network has a firewall? but yeah, i dont know much about anti-virus/firewalls because i dont like them just because they sap your physical memory.
