McAfee anti virus was my first anti virus software that came installed with my first PC a HP Pavilion 6506 back in 1999. Good old days.......

Mine were from the MS-Dos era. So either someone gave you a floppy with the software or you had a modem and downloaded it from the BBS.

Dr Solomon's Antivirus
F-Prot
Microsoft Antivirus

When we bought our first computer in the family back in 2001, there was Norton AV installed on it. After two years, I switched to AVG free. In 2007, I used panda AV for about 5 years, then Avast for some months, Panda again and then Norton 360 till now.

Loved Panda's Web AV scanner, when it was free. Made some good money fixing PC infections

Was a noobie about security, listened what people said, installed it, got infected, removed it , never used it anymore, start learning about security , and now here i am !

I honestly don't remember... It took me a while to start using an antivirus software...
If I am not mistaken first was Symantec and after that Kaspersky...

My first AV came pre-installed with my first laptop. It was Trend Micro, that time known as something Trend Micro "Penicillin" or something. It was 1 year free.
At that time I was completely novice. After TM expired I tried many but never paid for any AVs i.e free AVs
Over the time I learned a lot & never felt the need to get paid AVs.

Norton Antivirus 2004 with outdated signatures because of no connectivity available that time. I remember its scary notification about being unprotected and prone to risk.

Hi...
I started with the trail version of Norton that was included on my new PC and later paid for the up-grade. That was 3 years ago. Then I went to Panda Free for 5 or 6 months and I I've been using Avira Free ever since, an excellent alternative.

Kaspersky Internet Security 7
Great protection but slow pc

I still have it an external hard drive

First one was McAfee VirusScan Plus on my first-bought laptop pc. Didn't use AV in the good olden times of Win 95. It lasted 30 seconds before I uninstalled it
