Symantec Norton Antivirus & McAfee VirusScan

Symantec Norton Antivirus and McAfee VirusScan are the two most popular AntiVirus softwares available today and both can be easily obtained over the web at their websites or in most retail stores. Both of these applications are capable at cleaning and protecting computers from viruses along with a history going back to the mid 90's. We highly recommend either of these two products for use on your machine.
