What kind of antivirus software do you use at work, school, or home? Do you feel that it does a good job?

I had to truncate my poll options list. It was too long. If you use a fairly unpopular package let me know.

I must say antivirus tools and antispyware tolls and all that garbage is one giant crap industry, heres why, on my Newer dell it came with Norton antivirus yadayada internet security yadayada....my old computer all i had was a freeware firewall. both coms r on the same network, my dell got plagued with a trojabn downloader and mad spyware, wihcih im sure u guys heard me btich about, below is a list of things that could not remove it:
Norton Antivirus (detect but not remove)
Norotn Internet Security
Ad-Aware
Spybot S&D (detected but not delete)
SpyCatcher1.5
CounterSpy
Mcafee Antivirus
Spyblaster
*NEW* Microsoft Antispyware BETA (detect but noy delete)
All of these guys were great for removing Numerous spywares, many found spywares that others didnt but the one spyware that plagued me was called ElitemBar and Trojan Downloader, these "viruses" plant themselves in your regisry files and after deletion will just regenerate(sometimes i swear the amount of energy put into spyware, if applied to cancer research we would save millions) Eventually i tried hijack this which also failed but there forums led me to more support sites to just do it manually which i finally succeeded(go me). What I found out wa show this spyware and its counterparts work, Spyware is basically an activeX control used by Internet Explorer (aka advanced cookies) disguised as an activeX, the spywares will download and isntall themselves into the registry as most virus blockers dont protect the registry just the ports.
My Advice
Avoid antispyware programs, download a freeware firewall, most of these track all system operations and executables, including activeX controls, whihc will give you a heads up and yes/no option to allow things to procede, in my odler computer this littel firewall works wonders and ive had no infections ever on the pc itself.
HOWEVER
If i were to recommend ANY program to anyone already infected, these guys are your best bet
1) Microsofts new Anti-SPyware BEta, scans, cleans, active protection.its free(no-Trial) and downloadable with authentic windows key at www.microsoft.com
It works pretty damn good
2) HI-Jack this, for the serious Guru ONLY!, this thing digs into the core dll files of the registry, if you screw up your fucked.
3) Spyware Blaster-Free(no trial) Scans, Cleans, Active protection Extermely useful, it is great in that it Monitors all ActiveX controls running and it has the most extensive database to scan against that i have ever seen.
Just a good tip from the sword (ha Pun intended)

I currently use Norton, but I am testing trial versions of NOD32 and Kaspersky on two other PCs. So far I like NOD32 the best. Does anyone use NOD32?
ZoneAlarm =firewall
AdAware = spyware detector
Grisofts AVG =antivirus
All are free! And work very well with low footprint. I get my buddies to use and no one ever complains. They update fast and automatically and generally have very very little problems. You also can't beat free.

Puppet said:Free to you because work gives you one of their volume licenses for home because you manage the servers remotely on weekends right? Must be right because the only thing "free" on your list is Spybot.
I didnt say ZoneAlarm Pro... LOL...
But yes to all your assumptions...

NOD32 antivirus
Spybot S&D
Pest Patrol
Spysweeper
Cisco Pix 501 Firewall
I used to use Norton, but it really sux. I recently purchased NOD32, but close contenders were BitDefender, Kaspersky, and AVG.
I use so many antispyware apps because some of them detect instances that the others seem to pass over.
