Alienware m11x Antivirus
Well, I want to know what Antivirus are you using at the moment on your m11x and the Antivirus you consider is the best for the m11x.
Btw, i will get the McAfee, but i think i will change it for Norton.Alienware M11x R1

Eww on Mcaffe and Eww on norton. But that's just me, never liked those two companies and never will. I personally use AVG, not the free one but the most comprehensive. Works like a charm haven't gotten any viruses yet and I don't even notice it running. I also used Kaspersky for a while and that was a great anti-virus as well.

Symantec software is a bloat-ware crap. And Mcaffe some narrow-minded crap.
Use avira instead. Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir its free, light and easy to use. Never had problem with it

Avira. Used it on my Portege as it's low on memory requirements but still does a good job. So I've just stuck with it.

Re: Alienware m11x Antivirus
Avast! is the best AV I've come across, less bloated than anything else on the market according to many users.

Re: Alienware m11x Antivirus
avast all the way. the free version is great but has no firewall. the pro version is well worth the upgrade.
used norton,mcafee,avg free and avg pro and avast has been the best so far.>>>--- Everything you need to Monitor Temperatures & More ---<<<
