I don't use one, never had a problem.
oooooooooook. that clears it all up then thanks!
care to explain HOW?
the only secure way to stop spyware or anything intrusive is become a better user. do things outside of the scope of "better user" use and you probably need it. personally I never use antivirus, but I stick to reputable sites and never download on my gaming rig. I've only been infected a few times, but its been from lan use. avast seems quite good and free. mind you, if I only had 1G ram I'd turn it all off gaming. if its always running outside of gaming its pointless anywayoooooooooook. that clears it all up then thanks!

Just giving you an alternative...
Sure, it's common sense, don't go to questionable websites, don't open unexpected email, don't use internet explorer. Never had a virus, I've had spyware and browser hijackers but they are cake to get rid of
Symantec is horrible... I keep trying to get my father to stop using it. He went from a P3 500 to a AMD X2 3800+ system and his system ran the about the same in XP because of the crap Symantec was doing to his system. He didn't learn his lesson of course and spent another $80 on the latest version of Systemworks.
Edit: Link to NOD32 trial: http://www.eset.com/download/index.php
NOD32 is incredibly lightweight. It's a great scanner too and got an especially nasty infection off my PC with no damage. The price is up there, but it's worth it.
AVAST FTW, amazing program, very low key, virus database updates are free too, commercial use program fully featured and free completely
Nod32 is not like other anti-viruses, it by default scans every file when it is called by the system. so for instance if you open a picture, it will scan it. It is proactive. if a appication calls a graphic, it will scan it.
Now this certainly cant be good for games. as everything the game calls will need to be scanned right then and there, this will and does tremendously slow down gaming performance.
so Nod 32 is not recommended. even thogh it is probably the best anti virus you can get.
I would just recommend using nod32, sav10, or kaspersky, these are by far the best of the best and then just disable nod32 or kaspersky while gaming.
Norton anti virus is horrible, thogh Symantec anti-virus which is very different that Norton is not bad, it is actually one of the best and highest used anti-ciruses in the corporate world.
Disabling real-time scanning is just a click away in NOD32. (well, two clicks).
nope, but thanks for the tip. also depends on what the virus does. you're right thoEver been to ZALMAN's website? Their website tried to install a virus on my PC a couple of months ago, they are a reputable business. If I didn't have antivirus installed, it would have installed and I would have never known. No matter how careful you are, you're still open to attack.
