Siders77 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I use AVG Anti Virus. It's the best free one out in my opinion. Search Google for "AVG Anti Virus" :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I use spyware doctor, got it for free off the net! Seems proper good! Scanned first thing I got it and it picked up 190 infections, just stuff like adware but still crappy norton didnt pick it up!

Rob :S ← Well why would Norton pick up spyware, its not a spyware scanner. Theres a difference between spyware and a virus... AVG for virus scanning, an Ad-Aware for spyware scanning combo worked well for me when I used windows.<_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 It is dependant on your computer setup , If you speak to me on msn I can provide you with information. Main things are stuff like ensuring all windows updates are installed, What software you are running and how it is configured, and how your antivirus is setup. Alex speak to me on there if not get in contact and I'll help online and might drop you some update cd's. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I've not had any problems with AVG Free Edition - Grisoft. Plus it's free and legit :) Some people say AVast is better. But I've not tried it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Nod32 I have found to be very good, has found things that Norton AntiVirus 2005 and McAfee have both missed. May I also reccomend WinPatrol Its very useful for blocking spyware etc keeps and eye when something trys to change a registary and you get notified.
