which anti-virus/anti spyware program do you guys use?

[Baked]

None. I clear out my tracks after each session. All these spyware and viruses are just there to take up space and hog my resources. I do have zonealarm for sheds and giggles.

Yeah, but they're mostly used for cleaning mail on windows networks.

Edit: Trend

 

[TwiceOver]

I guess Clam AV and SpamAssassin? Whatever is in use with IPCOP and COPFILTER.

 

[Insane3D]

Just Kaspersky 6...never really had any problems with spyware...

As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised to see the multiple user Kaspersky I bought from Newegg for like $20 awhile back was eligible for a FREE upgrade to Kaspersky 6...try that with the Norton crap.

Horrible detection rates FTL

I use Kaspersky AV v6, Spy Sweeper v5, Spyware Blaster, and a NAT router on my 3 systems at home. Kaspersky is running but I disable real-time protection on all modules. I launch Spy Sweeper manually for scans once in a while and do not allow it to run in the background.

 

[Mem]

Bitdefender 9 Pro Plus(built-in AV/Firewall,Anti-spyware) with Ad-Aware,SpywareBlaster,Spybot and Netgear router.

 

[gsellis]

[Rottie]

Laptop
Anti Vir
CCleaner
Adware SE
Spybot

Desktop
Norton AV 2006
Windows Defender
Adware SE
ZoneAlarm Pro Suite
Spybot
CCleaner

 

[corkyg]

On this system:

Kaspersky 6
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm

On System #2

Viruscan 10
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm Pro

On Laptop:

AVG
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm Pro

On all systems as a monthly sweep/check - SpySweeper. So far it finds nothing - WinDefender does a good job of prevention.

All these are a second tier. 1st Iier AV and Anti-Spam is provided by my ISP using Nationwide, using Can-It. These are all like the Maytag repairman - nothing ever gets through the ISP tier.

This would have made a good poll.

 

[Pabster]

NOD32.

SpywareBlaster / Spybot S&D.

 

[JBT]

AntiVir

 

[snidy1]

I just use common sense, it's worked great for 10 years now.
