Honestly, the way I see it.....the majority of anti virus programmes are probably okay but as the saying goes "one mans meat is another mans poison"....we can only go on personal experiences.

I was genuinely shocked to see one poster reporting negative experiences with NOD32....no big deal you can say and rightly so.....but I know of one or two 'official entities' who have used it successfully and continue to do so.

just as well we all have choices I reckon :hmmm:

Information security is a big question here too, the coppers are very lax with stuff like tossing out files into the garbage cans that have sensitive info in them. Autopsy photos etc. have been found there. Who knows what happens to CPU's the cops use.

My question to you the more computer savy folks is, what if your virus software says that you have a file that might be a problem. It might be a genuine threat or not, sometimes different virus programs are just in conflict with each other and detect problems from each others virus libraries. Question is, what do you do with the infected file? Delete it? What if the file is in the rootkit? Can those files be deleted?

@OTH
Quarentine it.

ZoneAlarm has always served me well.
The firewall & Program Control suits my style well.

Just turn off the automated stuff, and it leaves YOU in control of IT.
Not the other way around.
