What's your security software?

[discomobiledj]

I am selling my Samsung NC 10 as everytime it logs on it tells me "I am at risk, shock horror" "go and buy some expensive software and give us money on something we should have sorted decades ago"

That sounds like you have a virus!

Avast for me BTW

Eset Nod 32 I use and its the best one ive used to date. I have used Avast and AVG in the past they were ok. But im with Chrisj on this.

AVG Paid on my Main home machine with my accounts on.
Avg Free on all my Mobile Toughbooks i take to gigs
The paid Does seem to work faster/ better / more efficiently though!

cheers

USe KlamAv - but then again im on Linux - but not picked up anything in the year since I dumped microsoft products

Another vote for NOD32, haven't been infected with anything for years now (and I do remember what an annoyance it used to be)

I have the router firewall turned on, with AVG paid on the home lappy and nothing on my 00DJ as like Jack, it never goes online. I download my songs on the home lappy to a external HDD, check them and then transfer them over. I also run Spybot, Hijack This, CCleaner, Malwarebytes anti malware, registry mechanic and as a last resort Combofix.

Only ever had 4 problems in 5 years. In fact if you're worried about your security check this site, mine is in 'true stealth mode !' lol https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

Microsoft Sercurity Essentials on my main machine.
Clamwin portable on my DJ machine and scanned manually every so often. I know there are no viruses there because any hard drives plugged in are first scanned on my main machine. Dont like mixing DJ software with antivirus and firewalls.

Interesting how few poeple use Norton which is supposed to be the market leader according to the pc mags. I ended up with more viruses when I used Norton 360 than with the free one I use now Plus is hogs pretty much every resource on the machine going.

Norton and Mcafee I was told to steer well clear of

4 macs here, the oldest now 5 years and not one problem even though one belongs to the Mrs who is a facebook freak and happily clicks on anything.

Router and per-machine firewall is all we use.

I do have a windoze machine for testing websites but 99.99% of the time it only ever connects to my own server; however it does me off that every time I use the damn thing I have to endure the "8 billion security updates... your machine WILL reboot in 5 minutes" cycle

(Yes, I know I can turn it off but with around 50% of the updates plugging IE faults I can't afford to)
