I have mine setup to do it daily. I also do all my banking on my computer, so I will pay for what works the best.

You can get any anti-virus for free //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I used this one on the GF's pc.

Pretty nice for free.

Firefox 3 w adblock plus + common sense

I've had my laptop since June 07 and I ran 4 different spyware/adware/trojan programs without a single find of anything bad.

I don't have any anti-virus programs on this computer. Just downloaded the pro versions for a day to check my comp out...

Seems like AVG is pretty vulnerable to many of the newer hoax malware infections going around (i.e. Antivirus XP 2009, MS Antivirus, etc.) ... Seeing tons of computers running Norton and AVG coming in with those infections and, given the degree of infection, we end up reformatting them most of the time. Backup and restore at our store is $140 ... If you live in my area, BTW, I fully encourage you to use these //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I
Avast! is not as popular, but given the problems AVG has been having lately, I'd be inclined to recommend it over AVG.

Of course, if you really want to be safe, you're better off shelling out the dough for something like Kaspersky or NOD32 ...

rofl you guys blow away and restore machines with "antivirus xp"? Rouge remover will get rid of most infections, then some simple manual cleanup. Takes less time than backing up/formatting and reinstalling.

Download the new version of liveupdate.

I must say since I started using Avast vs. Mcafee my system runs a whole hell of a lot faster.

pretty much if you use common sense (don't just click yes), you should be fine with a free one. My friend was a dumbass and clicked on yes to some certificate, didn't read it, got antivirus XP 08 (I was paying attention, but he was all oxy'ed out and wouldn't listen), and that is a ***** to get rid of.

Where do you guys go to get viruses?

Just curious...
