Dwayne, I use hardware Anti virus I pay $150 a year by Sonicwall. The hardware is about $500 it also has firewall built in. In my pc I do not have any anti virus software installed. Software is easy to mess with it but hardware is not. there are 7 pc's at home and my kids are downloading music no problem.
