I have run upon people who have said they have no virus concerns because they are very careful and don't feel they need any anti-virus software. Some have mentioned they got a virus scanner with their computer a couple of years ago. They have given no thought to updates. Naturally 5 Star members know better than to take chances.
There are so many choices when it comes to antivirus programs. Some are free and some are far from free. Some hog resources and others don't.
My favorite is actually available for free. It is AVG Anti-Virus. It has daily updates, live scanning and scanning of e-mail. The email scanning isn't just limited to Microsoft e-mail programs as some are.
Here is a link to AVG Anti-Virus Free
AVG Free Advisor - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
AVG also has a professional version which has more features.
Another free anti-virus program is Avast. They also have a professional program. This link is to their free antivirus program
