[QUOTE="mac57, post: 554516, member: 17052"] How regular is regular? Probably not an appropriate question for me. I don't use my PC that much any more, so I don't do a full "sweep" of the machine more than once every few months. If I was using it full time, I would do it once a week or so, and again whenever anything "unusual" happened. AVG and ClamAV were put through their paces alongside Norton and several others in an "AV Shootout" I saw in a magazine a few months back. Unfortunately I don't remember which magazine it was. Likely MacFormat, but I am not sure. One of ClamAV or AVG came out on top, the other was number two. The bottom line is that they are both very good, and both caught more stuff than Norton did. I selected ClamAV vs. AVG simply because I used it on Linux for years. When I went looking for a good freeware antivirus, it was the easy choice for me. You won't go wrong with either one. [/QUOTE]
