-   -   Which Anti-virus software do you use ? (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/gadgets-computers-software/1610-anti-virus-software-do-you-use-2.html)

I dont remember the last time i used an antivirus. Used to use mcafee though. Nowadays absolutely nothing. No idea how many viruses(or is it virii) there are on my comp.

earlier I used to use Norton 2003 which could notprotect me PC from mydoom virus even after installing patches. So i switched over to Network Associates/McAfee corporate edition 7 which could solve it with ease.

Symantec (Norton) Antivirus version 6.0. But by and large Macintosh machines are not affected with virus.

Symantec Antivirus Coporate Edition. However, its not effective against the trojans, spyware, etc. For those i am using a Zone Alarm firewall downloaded from download.com and it works beautifully.

What virus? What Spyware?

I am a Mac user!!

Suggest you keep a Norton parked inside your machine. More so if you're getting files from outside.
Which Mac (17 inch Powerbook??) by the way and what specs?

Hey,
Well,i use the AVG 6.0 as well as Norton.But less of Norton as at times it does'nt scan perfectly and has this problem of shutting down automatically in between scanning.
Do u guys suffer from the same prob???

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have Oct 2004 edition iBook. Specs: 12", 1.2 Ghz, 512MB, 30 GB, Built in Airport Extreme. Got it for $850 + $40 for extra RAM.
I use Contour Design's MiniPro Travel Mouse(one of best Mouse I ever used in last 15 years of computing)$22.

While at home , I connect my old 15" monitor and also use Apple Pro USB keyboard ($49) with macmice 2 botton scroll wheel USB mouse( gr8 Apple design made even better. Looks,feels and works exactly the same as Apple one button USB Mouse) $40.

I use Tucano (Itali) Second Skin Sleeve($21) to store my iBook.

Just last week I added Airport Express wireless base station (with Airtunes)for $129 (Fantastic!).

And of course almost addicted to iPod (mini) $249

Next additions would be:

1> D Link Bt120 Blue Tooth Dongle ($40)
2> 2.5" External Firewire/USB2.0 Hard disk ($75)
4> iMic ($35)
