AVG is for the epic win in so many ways. It blocks twice the crap i had when paying for Norton. and AVG has a free version thats pro and i have to yet to get a virus while using AVG. It has blocked Trojan horses and worms. Found cookies that contained hazardousness material. All in all AVG is the way to be.

Or you could stop looking up porn all the time.Just Kidding man. Good luck man find one that works for you.

kaspersky is one of the top rated consumer anti virus, i load atleast 30-50 computers a day with it and havent seen that many back with virus problems. Avg and the norton trials mess alot of customers computers up aswell as being a pain in the ass to remove.

Alot of the symantec / kaspersky products are good just dont go too fancy with the identity / computer backup packages.
