So we are lossing McAfee because we are swithin internet prviders and we are going to have purchase our own.
McAfee did a good to great job. Should we just continue with them 80.00
Or can anyone lead me to a continuely updating program that we can trust. We run IE ( don't blame me the wife wanted to leave FireFox)
Windows Vista

I use Avast. Its pretty price at $free, but once you install it you'll see its worth every penny you didn't pay for it.

I agree with Edrex...use Avast or Avira Anti-Vir (free also). You may also want to look at AVG Anti-Virus Free. Both are good programs that provide on demand scans and constant monitoring along with email scanning. I have noted that these two pick up things Norton won't. I run both together without issues and it doesn't intefere with my firewall either.
If you need to run a scan and don't have a virus protection program currently installed, you may want to look at Trend-Micro House Call. It runs online and downloads and active X control and performs on the fly virus scans. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
AVG also has a built in scanner bar for IE if you decide to install it.
Good luck,

another vote for Avast. Avg is good, but I dont think its free anymore.
I had more problems with symantic then anything else, I even ran the corporate addition for a year or so, but still got sh!tty results

As said, Avast or AVG are both good. AVG some say are better than Norton.

AVG Free is still in fact free. Used in combo with SpyBot Search and Destroy makes a pc pretty damn healthy.
