What was your first AV?

Looking back, I've tried a lot of security apps and have found a great deal of knowledge from other users. For example, I first used CA antivirus and over the course of learning more and more about online security have been able to make use of far better (IMO) tools.
I was just wondering if you all were willing to go back (or could go back ) down memory lane and share what your first antivirus was.

My first AV was NAV but dumped it later because to many problems appear when using it

 

My first AV was back in 2001 and it was Norton Antivirus. Used it for several years until I got tired of paying the ever increasing annual fees and found Avast instead. Since then I have tried almost all of them, free and paid. But old NAV was the first...

 

My first was Norton Internet Security and what a beast that was.

 

Norton

 

I too like others started with Symantec in 1997, by 1999 was on Anti Vir, then Avast, now a combo of both in different machines.

 

Norton. Jeez so long ago.

 

NAV 2001 as part of SystemWorks 2001

No actually I think I first used McAfee v3. I just didnt use it much so its hard to remember.

Edit: Yes, it was mcafee. I remember the simplistic screen:

Obviously Symantec propoganda is working. Everyone seems to have used Norton. I can actually say that the first AV I used on my PC, that was not a family PC, was Dr Web. I liked it because it was not popular. But who knows how good it was then.

 

Norton

i think this has been discussed before, anyway

my first av >>>>> Mcafee internet security (Pre installed by dell)

 

Am I the only one who used ThunderByte?

 

Dr Solomon's HomeGuard.

 

Yes. But at least you have learned from your past mistakes.

 

Hello!

My first AV was Avast.

 

F-Prot for DOS was my first ever antivirus. Later on i moved to mcafee although i can't remember why...

 

My first was the preinstalled McAfee. Than Norton and now----->(surprisingly) KIS7

In between I tested all of them on one of my PC's

 

It was CA's eTrust Antivirus, back in 2001.

 

Well, i used Thunderbyte AV & f-prot for dos (which messed up the windows 95 kernel when attempting to remove a virus from dos mode). it was a much simpler time back then

 

dr solomans on like 20 3 1/2 inch floopy discs
last time i turned on my first pc it said something on the startup screen saying you havent updated the dr solomans for 300days.
if i turned it on now its like you havent updated for 3000 days doi you wish to update?=D
then later on it got brought out by mcaffe.
and then on my next pc i got norton 2003
then of course my current pc used to run f-secure and now kis7.0
