Protecting your computer from digital nasties

It is almost impossible these days to use your computer, access the internet and share files without coming under the threat of digital nasties, be it virus, trojan horse or worm.
The great thing though is the fact that there are several very good protection software packages out there; the not so great news - there are several very good digital nasties out there as well.

So the question now is how do you go about choosing the antivirus program that is best for you?  Who should you give your money to and entrust with handling the security of your prized computer?

Which is the best you ask?  The simple answer: There is NO ONE BEST!

There is no one fix for all the digital nasties, malware and spyware out there.  They all work to a certain extent, so it's more about finding one that you can live with knowing fully well that no ONE would give you 100% protection.

So now you might be asking which package do I use?  First let me put this on record: you should NEVER have more than ONE antivirus program installed on your system at any given time. Now that this is out of the way we can continue:

I have used several of the more popular packages in recent times: AVG, ESET, Bitdefenter, Kaskersky, AVAST, Norton and so forth, but I always find myself coming back to ESET - it simply works for me, understanding that it is not perfect, but it works.

Do I recommend ESET?  Yes, I do, but then again I would also recommend AVG or Kaspersky.  What about Norton or McAfee you ask?  Well, what about them?

My personal systems are protected by either AVG or ESET so there you have it.
