Would you use One Anti-Virus program that does it all ... as apposed to installing an infinite number of programs.
On today's Windows, even Vista, you need to install an AV program ... you also need to install other "protection" as most AV programs cannot effectively deal with Trojans & Worms. Not to mention Malware, Spyware, scams, spammers and other nasties. Oh, and not forgetting you need a Firewall as your first line of defence. Simple question ... yes or no. ![]() |

Another no here, I don't think that there is an all-in-one that can do the best job at the moment. There are a few around from Norton etc... but I don't really trust them as much. Better than nothing for the novice user I suppose though!

NO!
Symantec and McAfee are both getting close.. But - Separate Applications/Services seem, in my mind, to be easier to configure/manipulate. |

If it was any good and covered everything, I'd consider it, so my answer is yes.
It would have to be the right price though. Antivir Personal Premium edition offers virus protection, e-mail scanning and Adware protection for 20 Euros a year (£13.50) which, if the Adware side of it works well, isn't bad at all. Quote:

a) do not know b) think they are clever and do not use an AV with Windows c) just dumb enough to tick answer 4 anyway Your's is the sort of answer I am looking for ... you thought about the question, despite what you know, you would be interested in a "do-it-all" especially if it works. F-Secure Internet Security also has some impressive 'features' but, some annoyances also. ![]()
