What anti-virus software do you use on your PC?
Describe the product you use, and why you chose it.
Provide a link to the manufacturer's web page.
Here is Wikipedia's comparison chart of the major brands of anti-virus software:
Comparison of antivirus software
Personally, I use the Sophos Unified Threat Management (UTM v9.2) firewall, which runs as a dedicated firewall and router on a common PC hardware box with two or more Ethernet cards installed.
I also use their Sophos End Point Protection Suite on my PCs.
The combination of those two products provide an enterprise class integrated and centrally managed anti-virus environment that can be configured to update hourly.
I picked Sophos because it was the natural progression for me from the Astaro Security Gateway that I have used various versions of for more than 10 years.
Sophos bought out Astaro in July 2011.
Sophos' price can't be beat, since they provide a free 3 year home use license for both their firewall and their desktop anti-virus software for up to 10 PCs.
