    I don't use one but my brother has BitDefender and AVG on his.

    BitDefender has an evaluation version available here, and AVG has a free one here.

    I have used Norton Antivirus, McAfee, AVG, and Prevx.

    On one computer: nothing.
    On the other computer: Prevx beta testing version (no longer available)

    I've actually found prevx to be good, but maybe I think I've only had 1 virus affect my computer since I've had it. I installed it to get rid of a virus that was on my computer.

    I'm not sure if Norton stops protecting the system after u stop paying, b/c I got a few viruses that Norton couldn't get rid of (not sure if it was when I was or wasn't paying).

    I think I had AVG and it didn't do the job for me. I only get viruses like once every year and a half or 2 years.

    I use Avast. It seems to check/update the virus database every time I boot my PC. So I know its working.
