I'm guessing that means "ITs don't use McAfee either", but in my experience its been better at stopping viruses and it uses less cpu cycles then norton (at least at the time I switched over), and since I get it free every black friday, I can't complain.

oops, I left the word "think" out.. what was I thinking?
I fixed it

Its been my limited experience that IT uses trendmicro office scan, but I have only had two corporate jobs. *shrug*
Personally, I'm flying without a parachute, but I think its important to have safe surfing habits. Stay off the kazaa and shareza and you'll be ahead of the game.
on another note regarding website saftey, McAfee has a plugin for IE and Firefox called Site Advisor. It'll tell you if the site you are visiting offers spyware, spams your email address or if the sites it links do the same.

We use a corporate version of Symantic Antivirus.
I don't think they call themselves "norton" anymore.
I remember the old school "norton" products being real hoggs.
The newer stuff is much better.
The Corp Version really acts like it's not even there...even when it's scanning.
anyways..., AVG, Avast and AntiVIR are pretty good free antivirus suites.
I used to use both Spybot and Adaware but I've mostly settled on adaware when needed.
I switched to symantic at home because I wanted to use ghost...I just get the pro version of systemworks. I never notice any slowdown. and Ghost is the best way to get rid of a virus. Get a virus...no prob...re-image...POOF! gone. Usually though this is a non issue caus' nothing ever comes through the AV.
