Computer Virus Protection by hammerdrill376 on 01 Jan, 2009 06:31

Hey fellow SBG's...Just wondering what type of anti-virus protection you use for your computer. I have been using Norton Anti-Virus and its ok but I have not used any others.
Any suggestions?

I tried the so-called big boys of virus protection and found that I got the same coverage from the freebies like Avast, it works just as good

I prefer and have had better results with McAfee rather than Norton.

Norton is just horrible. It's bloated and uses to many system resources. I use Kaspersky I've been using it for about 3 years and have yet to get a virus or even spyware for that matter. And at 40 bucks here in Canada it doesn't break the bank.

Hammer, I use the AVG "free" edition and have never had any problems. I think it works great.

None what so ever. My work and personal accounts work great, it does attach itself to my work account and keep it clean. -

Dam that would be one for one of our IT guys here. The IT guy at my work told us about avast and it has been no problems at all. What email are you using? -

Maybe the new version of Outlook Express would work better. Windows Live Mail.
