I personally don't bother at work or home.
I use regular spyware trawls, firewalls and the email server at work is virus protected.

At home any suspisious emails are just deleted.

Only ever got one virus and that was during a reinstall while getting zonealarm and it was that one which shut down the PC when you didn't want to. luckily I already knew about it and safe mode with hijackthis soon sorted it!!!!

I do an only scan every month or so!
Oh boy, thats not good  :o

How do you know you don't have a virus if you do not run AV software?

Remember, virus' (and they are not spyware, so won't be picked up by spyware tools) can be embedded in web pages, or even through direct port access (depending on how good your (hopefully hardware) firewall is).  Many popular sites have embedded virus' in at some point due to unpatched applications.

Hi Fin, I used AVG, (free version) have done for years, never had any problems with it. Free basic version can be downloaded from    http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1     :y

Only way you can stop them without AV software is disconnect PC from outside world.  O/G tcp 80 is enough ;)

For me it is AVG, I am so impressed with it I may well go to the full pro version.

I also use Ad Aware SE & Spybot S&D. Every so oftern I run Hijack this just to be doubly sure.
Oh and I have a hardware firewall on my router and windows firewall...  ::)
