You cannot have both running. They would get into each others hair. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-antivirus-and-antispyware-do-you-use#post-10895 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:50:43 +0000 InDiSent 10895@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I use Norton Corporate Anti virus and Zone Alarm Pro. I really like them both. I do notice that Zone Alarm causes programs to take longer to launch. But i guess that's because it is making sure that Firefox is allowed to access the internet? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-antivirus-and-antispyware-do-you-use#post-10884 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:19:06 +0000 whs 10884@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Here is some data:</p> <p><a href='http://www.av-comparatives.org/index.html?http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/overview.html'>http://www.av-comparatives.org/index.html?http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/overview.html</a></p> <p><a href='http://techhelpvideos.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/security-suite-comparison/'>http://techhelpvideos.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/security-suite-comparison/</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-antivirus-and-antispyware-do-you-use#post-10879 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:50:36 +0000 donjudy2003 10879@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>ManOman...

You can pretty much customize it to do anything you want. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-antivirus-and-antispyware-do-you-use#post-896 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 01:27:09 +0000 Barron 896@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I use Avast! anti-virus and I'm pretty happy with it. I also use Webroot Spy Sweeper, but only because I'm still a student and my school offers it for free. I guess it works fine, and it gets great reviews, but I don't think I'd shell out the money for it. There are plenty of good free options out there. And I use the built-in Vista firewall. No complaints. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-antivirus-and-antispyware-do-you-use#post-895 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 01:22:19 +0000 mysticgeek 895@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I posted my thoughts regarding what works on this thread:<br /> <a rel=nofollow href='http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/anti-spywareanti-virusanti-rootkit-freeware-utilities?replies=5'>http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/anti-spywareanti-virusanti-rootkit-freeware-utilities?replies=5</a></p> <p>Keep in mind that the final defense lies in the computer operators hands! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-antivirus-and-antispyware-do-you-use#post-893 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 00:41:26 +0000 supermansghost 893@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Personally, I'm not using anti-virus software, but I use Spybot for scanning, and I usually leave Windows Defender running although I'm not thrilled with it.</p> <p>I use the firewall built into Vista or XP, and I think it works pretty well. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/what-antivirus-and-antispyware-do-you-use#post-891 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 00:17:38 +0000 douchrti 891@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Hello all,<br /> Hope all is well.<br /> Im curious as to what AntiVirus and AntiSpyware you use.
