What Anti Virus program do you use?

My norton security 2008 is about to expire.
Is there any better ones out there?
Or should I continue with norton?

Just wondering what you guys use.

You should definitely get another anti virus.

I'd recommend Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 or ESET NOD32.I have heard that Bit Defender is good but haven't tried it out yet.

Are you under the impression macs are immune to virus'?

Definitely get rid of Norton and get either Kaspersky or Nod32 (I think Kaspersky has better detection rate but its a resource hog similar to Norton, Nod32 uses next to nothing system resources). I have Eset Smart Security (nod32 + firewall + antispyware + antispam) and havn't had any problems with it yet.

I've always been wondering why do people dislike Norton. Could you explain why? Also I've heard that AVG is pretty decent and its free.

I said its a resource hog. I'm not too sure about newer Norton's but the older ones had way to many false positives, it wasn't user-friendly (for example it would block ports that other programs require and it wasn't clear or easy to resolve this), it wasnt compatible with lots of other security software and it would by default make a lot of choices for you and if you were computer illerate you wouldn't be able to figure out how to change it (back to the user-unfriendliness). AVG is alright if you want a free one, but most people here would rather pirate a copy of Kaspersky, Nod32, Bitdefender etc.
