O.P. Panda 0wns
i would recommend panda antivirus to anyone whos considering switching antiviruses or getting a new computer for these reasons

1. Nortan couldnt find a cold on a guy with a runny nose
2. Panda Runs as a service so it works as soon as windows boots up
3. The SOS virus feature, if you have an unkown virus you can send it to panda and they will send you a sig file in under 24hrs, that was a live saver for me
4. it costs under £10 (uk)(oem)
5. Its so easy to use
6. It runs in the background so you dont get popups about virus updates
7. it comes with a good firewall included in the price
8. comes on a bootable cd-rom :)
9. all the above
10. pick reason here

i have used nortan mcafee and panda, but i think panda rules :)

what antivirus do you like and why?

RE: Panda 0wns
I dislike Panda, I was working at a computer shop once and they had two broken computers that started working after uninstalling Panda, but ofc it might have been something else. Anyway, I use F-Secure. Th ecomputer shop where I buy my computers gives it away free with a one-year license so I don't need anything else.

I always use AVG, because its constant updating of Definitions, because its free, really good, and easy to use, I may start to use McAfee though, does anybody know if mcafee is any good?

Now to me, it being a process that cannot be ended is a definite problem, this sounds like a major downside to the piece of software, its just another reason not to use it...

I'm AVG all the way, free and just as good as the next for us more atuned to the ways of computer types (aka we don't download things from random email attachments or things that look like Trojan.exe or Look-at-this-cool-thingy.omg :P)
