Hello fellow Think Tankers!

I am shopping for a new anti virus program for my computer.

You all are so knowledgeable regarding this subject, so I thought I would ask my friends here on TT2.

Any good suggestions for a Hillbilly?

I really appretiate it!!

I have always liked PC Security Shield and it's on sale, it includes The Shield Personal Firewall.

The mac losers should GTFO in advance... kthxbai.

Stay away from Norton. Even though popular, it's ineffective.

Spyware Doctor, Spy Sweeper, McAfee, and AVG are all good choices. If you are a casual PC user who downloads a lot and plays games every now and then, get one of those. Most have Real-time scanning, which is constantly looking through your drive and scanning things. If it finds anything it should alert you and ask if you want to fix it.

I just stick with Spybot Search and Destroy, and the whole Mcafee package. It comes bundled with comcast, so it's a pretty good deal...

Oh and you may want to take a look at BitDefender aswell.

I once had that. When I tried to install norton, it started giving me errors like a PC with no motherboard.

And DO NOT get Micro Trend PC-Cillin. It gives strange errors, freezes many of my programs (I have that one now)
