What antivirus software do you use?

I currently use Norton Anti Virus (I know, suicide) and whatever that Windows one is, as well as maybe Ad Aware. I previously used McAffee too.
 
Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials, or whatever it's called.

MSE may not be the greatest, but it seems to work well enough and never bothers me when i don't need it. MBytes is for when shit has already hit the fan and I need to try to clean my system without doing a restore or (god forbid) reformatting.

I use AVG and Malwarebytes. I've had AVG since McAffee failed and my computer died. Then when I had a virus that AVG couldn't do anything about, I got Malwarebytes.
 
I run Mac OS X. Seeing that the OS doesn't really have many viruses for it (and I have common browsing sense), I don't have antivirus.

That's what I've done ever since my friend said he used it as well and had no issues with MSE. All seems to be fine.

I've played with AVG, Avast and Trend Micro, and MSE has been the friendliest. Or had the least complaints. Not sure if that's good or bad, but it's good. Out of all the ones I've used, Trend Micro really shit me around.
 
i had McAfee trial before it expired. however since a VERY scary incident with a virus that almost broke my computer (McAfee completely destroyed the virus luckily), ive been a good boy and only downloaded trusted things and clicked trusted links
 
McAfee FTW

actually macs are much more prone to viruses. this was proven in like, 08 or something. and theres no anti-virus software for mac so your screwed if you get one

Macs? Much more prone to viruses? LEL.

I'm not saying they can't get viruses (they had this Flashback virus thing a while back, it's one of the few OS X viruses I've ever heard of), but OS X has a less market share than Windows and the people want to target the larger userbase. UNIX is also more secure.

For Mac antivirus, simply Google "mac anti-virus".
