Anti-Virus

Azureus is evil. Use U torrent

I use AVG Free, but if, as Azar says, that it won't be so free anymore then I don't know what I'll be using. Maybe I'll just have to pay for it because it seems to do a great job. I also run Spybot and Adware once in a while.

When Azureus was not working I used mu-torrent, though I switched back to Azureus as soon as I got it working again.

U torrent uses less then 10% the resources that Azuresu used on my computer, also it's not screwing my internet up like Az did.

AVG is going to be free, they just won't release updated definitions for 7.1, I think?

yeah avg free's what i got. i dont think they're gonna just drop the free thing? i really don't know, but it still keeps updating itself for me.

Whoever's spreading the rumours AVG will no longer be free needs to provide a source for their claim instead of being moronic :p As rubah said, try to learn to read :p

I had AVG 7.0 (the commercial version, I believe) until its license expired a month or two ago. Since then, I haven't had any antivirus, though I did run Spybot and Ad-Aware pretty often.

This thread has prompted me to get AVG 7.5 Free. It's funny because I thought I used to have AVG Free until I just checked. Then I remembered my dad gave it to me and it was probably from his corporation. :D We'll see how AVG 7.5 compares to my expensive, fancy, rich-people AVG. :o

I agree, I am anti virus also!!!

LOL

I don't use anti-virus. Just get a good hardware firewall or router and open only the ports you need. If you download malicious software and install it then it's your own fault.

I use Norton.

I didn't know Doppelganger could use Hammer Fall.

I use either McAfee, or Norton. I don't like either, but it's what my parents use.

I don't use any. You have to try pretty hard to install a virus on Linux.

I’d been using AVG Free for several years, but I recently upgraded to the Professional Edition, because having the word “Professional” in my software makes me feel like a Real Man.
