anti virus is a must have, and there are amyn flavors and personal favorites.
I work for a major financial institute and we have some serious security demands on our machines. We can't have some virus or hacker run loose on our systems, one or two times of that happening and the bad publicity would be well spread across the world.
That all being said... we use pc cillin from trend micro, I figured it was good enuff for my employor so I have been running it for the last 4-5yrs with no issues. I think its great and does not seem to be the system hog borton and mcaffee are.
In junction with that I also use spybot S&D, it is a great tie in to my anti virus software. This keeps spyware/malware in check and off my system.
Those 2 applications behind a firewall and no virus'/spyware on my personal machines in around 5 yrs (knock on wood).
