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Using Norton at the mo but it's out of date now so want to upgrade rather than paying a new subscription fee!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

Re: AV Software
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

Re: AV Software
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!

Re: AV Software
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
