Both (Norton Internet Security 2004). Can't live on cable without AV and can't live on cable (for me at least) without a firewall. Although my friends disagree with me, I'm waiting for that one moment.....:D

My computer is as wide open as a french whore's legs and all because mcaffe decided to keep me from my lan party. Damn AV and firewall programs.

I have a firewall built in to the cable router.

I'll run an antivirus program from time to time, and I also run adaware fairly often, but besides that nothing really.

No AV, no firewall. I do run Adaware and SpyBot every once in awhile.

I used to have Norton, but my subscription ran out and I got tired of the weekly reminders. Also, it would give me a pop-up once a day that told me to download updates. I got sick of it and deleted the program. No more protection from viruses.

I just have Norton AV 2003 right now. I'm not too concerned with not having a firewall though. Once I get on cable though, I'll definately get one.

I use:
Norton Antivirus
Firewall
Ad-aware
Firefox's built in pop up stopper

I would never own a computer without an antivirus. It's comparable to unprotected sex. lol. you just dont want to do that.

I keep hearing about people who have virusses and stuff... it sometimes makes me laugh about it, they should have gotten an anti-virus and they shouldn't be so naive!

I have to say that spam is getting trickier every day. Today I got a message that said that I needed to install a patch from www.windows-patch.com. :rolleyes: They made it look like it was straight from M$.

I often get mails that appear to be from ebay.com. :mad:
