AntiVirus; yes/no/which one

[plumber4578]

I used to use Norton for years untill about a year ago. So far I've been fine w/o one. I thought it hoged valuable resources from my puter. I'm building a new machine. Should I get one? Which pne do you recomend?

Anti virus - Symantec 10 Corporate or AVG or NOD32
Software Firewall - None or Zone alarm pro
Hardware Firewall - Router
Anti Spyware - Adware SE Personnel, Spybot Search and Destroy, spywareblaster.
Broswer - Opera or Firefox

 

[Apokalipse]

Antivir Personal Edition.

It's fast, it's free, and it's effective.

It uses a LOT less resources than Norton.

i'm kind of partial to AVG, it works quite nicely
