Re: Anti Virus Software

wow - so i'm the only one that pays for anti-virus!! (only because i can charge it to my company...)

Using Kaspersky at the mo which i've found to be pretty good. Use mcafee at work which i think is pretty crap... and have used norton in the past which isn't too bad

Re: Anti Virus Software

Sorry to necro an old thread.

Have you guys tried any others since this was written? Or have you all stuck to the same AV?

Personally, I use MS Forefront. Like MS Security Essentials and better (and free for me woot).

Performance tip also: exclude your steam dir from the scanning list. Helps improve load time/game play (i think)

Re: Anti Virus Software

Yeah I've pretty much stuck to AVG, thanks for the tip about excluding the steam folder
