Do you use antivirus software? - Page 2

Hi all,

I used MacAfee but got fed up by those constant messages. I now run Norton, it started off quite well but now it seems to drag my speed down a lot with the constant up-dating.
Since it is paid for I will stick with it until it runs out. Might try something different later.

Cheers Moxi

Switch to MSE, it is free and you will love it......no messages unless it stops something!

Grisoft AVG for me on all our computers. Hated Norton, could not get McAfee off fast enough.

Using Norton. Free with Comcast. Might give MSE a try because I think Norton is slowing things down.

Security Essentials on all machines for me now. It's the only one that doesn't drive me nuts--and it's free.
