AV Software
 

I need new anti virus software. What's the best one to get?

Using Norton at the mo but it's out of date now so want to upgrade rather than paying a new subscription fee!

What ya recommend?

Re: AV Software
 

AVG from Grisoft

Although I did go for the "paid for" version. Not sure if they still do the free version?!

Otherwise you might want to check out TrendMicro which does a free online scan for you.

Don't mind paying for it, just wanna make sure I get the best I can.

I've used Mcaffee for years never had a bit of trouble with it. I hate norton and I'd never install it. But I know alot of people who hate mcaffee and love norton.

I installed the free AVG on Liz's mums laptop a while ago and its crippled it it takes ages to update itself when its first logged on and its made the whole thing run like a bag o bolts. As did the Norton that was installed previously on it.

IMHO stick with Mcaffee

Avast! Free and very, very good! No spam, virus, trojan on my PC since I installed it! Updates automatically everytime you connect to the net. Sure people will second that!

I have the free AVG anti virus, it works pretty well. I also pair it up with ZoneAlarm firewall (free) and spyware blaster (free)

No attacks yet :D

My employers signed an agreement with McAffee that enables them to supply their software to all staff for home use. I now install this. In the past I used to use Avira Antivir free on my linux systems and avast as the AVG stuff and me just could not get on

AVG paid for version.
