I currently use PC-Cillin from Trend, and over the last 6 months it has been good, in that I have never had a virus (touch wood).

The auto updates have just ended today from their website, which was handy so should I upgrade, or is their better products out there?

Any ideas?

Personally, I use Sophos Anti-Virus. I manually update it, but would be keen to hear of something that is automatic . . . and free

Forgot to say, budget is no problem so dont mind paying big bucks if necessary.

Only on a single machine though.

Mcafee at home for me.

It rocks So simple and easy to use, auto updates, good tech support (if you need it). I bought my copy for £17 from ebay. Full boxed Home edition with 1 years updates/support etc. Bargin

Also comes with a built in firewall

Can't recommend Sophos strongly enough (in conjunction with Tiny Personal Firewall)

Another for either McAfee or Sophos - both excellent products.

McAfee - Firewall & Anti-Virus (both online subscription versions), so you don't have to buy a product that's replaced by something else as soon as you get it.

The updates and any new releases of software are all free for the subscription period (which when I bought for 2 years, was the same price for the software version, but 2 new versions have been brought out since and neither come with an auto-update for patches for that length of time - free).

I use Norton Pro and have used Norton for over 6 years without any problems. This though makes an interesting read:
