I use Avast because I like how it stops infections before they get to your computer.

So Avast stops the files before they even reach my sandbox so I don't have to do anything else to remove it. If by some chance one does get to my sandbox I can just clean the sandbox and that's that.

I use Avira, because when you program a virus in VB.NET it's always detected by Avira.

Using Avira premium 2010, really good one, always ask me if an application wanna go on the internet and dont have to keep writing netstat to cmd Big Grin

also avira doesnt make the pc slow.


Also using Key Scrambler premium newest version, encrypts every single letter.

I still waiting for a key to malwarebytes, but cant wait to finally get one and try out flash scan Big Grin

Why isn't bitdefender up there? It's a good anti-virus program. The GUI looks pretty decent and it's good at detecting viruses. I'm not to keen on the firewall it has, but I'd pick it above anthing else.

ESET nod32, It detects alot more than any other AV I've used, has a great online scanner and it's just easier to use for me.
