What was your first antivirus?

[Ana_Filiz]

On one PC I had McAfee, I`m still sad about the fact that this AV vendor is history.
On other PC I had AVG and got infected, then switched to Avast Pro and then to Eset.

KIS 2006 was first and my favorite antivirus , I was using Kaspersky product from 2006-2015 and now i'm using ESET

Either McAfee or Norton since they would always be preinstalled on retail PC's. I remember buying a one year Norton 360 license.

F Secure, got it from our ISP back in the days, hehe! did not use it much tho, used avast mostly then.

I used to like you, till you made me feel old as dirt, lol ha ha ha
I digress, my first was Norton, and no not Norton 2005, have to go back a bit further.
Dang you Spartacus lol

Wow how old is that, i have never seen anything like that before just out of curiosity.

Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2002.

I got it for 3 months free with my Soltek's motherboard.

My first antivirus was quick heal antivirus. My laptop guy recommended it & installed it. DNAScan!!....Ah! good times. Had it for 2 years, i think.

I think mine was a really old version of Norton or McAfee.. Probably the 2009 editions of the AV products.

Spoiler

I was really young at the time and of course no security product is full-proof and can protect a click-happy user and therefore I always ended up infected back then regardless of the AV products...

Is that your disk? If so I'm impressed

Norton Anti-Virus (2004)
....then McAfee, then MSE, then Avira, then Bitdefender, then Comodo, then Avast, then AVG, back to Norton, now Avira again.

This is counting 2 desktops and 2 laptops AV changes of 12 years, from 2004 to 2016.


I put Zone Alarm w/firewall on the old desktop but its not used regularly.

 

[Sundaram999]

Unfortinately not! Might have one somewhere in the attic but think i threw some really old stuff out a couple of years ago. Believe i saved Win 95 diskettes tho. Reason unclear. Interested?
Also got an old Hyundai 17" CRT monitor you can have for free if you come here and get it!

Thanks for the offer but I don't have a floppy drive anymore otherwise I'd be snapping your hand off As for the monitor, I'm still happy using with my 15" AOC. Apparently there's an new technology called LCD but I'm not convinced it will take off

Considering some hardcore CS gamers who actively are searching for SONY CRT flatscreen monitors and even go as far as importing them from the US (to Sweden) one might wonder....
