I clicked the common sense option, although I do have Sophos all it's doing is wasting space, it detects squat, needs set up again

awesome idea for a poll

i work in computer security field and personally think kaspersky internet security 2009 is the best

another relatively unknown but outstanding product is fsecure internet security 2009

I don't run an antivirus personally, but on the other PCs at home I have Kaspersky installed.

yeah i agree using antivirus can be pointless, the bottom line is just don't be dumb and most of them time u will be ok. in my entire life never had virus / spyware / malware


i list viruses in terms of ones that are your fault to get, and ones that exploit a vulnerability in your browser for remote execution , or java, adobe acrobat reader, word, etc

KIS 2009 has a vulnerability scanner to check for software with known exploits against it, i like having KIS just to check for vulnerable software. i consider that a greater risk that malware and viruses themselves

sometimes its better to just not use antivirus (depending on ur experience level), and then just regularly scan computer with malwarebytes anti malware, or do online virus scan like once a month

just my 2 cents=)

peace

Linux and before that, common sense.

The only time when common sense doesn't work occurs when you open a file whose handler has a security exploit.
