Which anti virus??

PineRidge · Jun 4, 2006

I had the very same issues with Norton. Finally got fed up with the mess and went AVG. AVG has always done everything that Norton did including installing automatic updates. The only addition that we use is the firewall software that is included with our DSL router.

AVG is free.....

You won't be disappointed with the AVG anti virus. Best of all it is free. And the updates are a breeze. I also use ZoneAlarm free edition along with it and have no problems.

( OK, the question, primarily for those running AVG--do you also use Zone Alarm or anything else as a firewall? Anything at all along with AVG? Thank you. )

Oh yes.. AVG is just a antivirus, last time I looked at it. You also want a personal firewall, tools for spotting and removing spyware, etc.

Wayne,
For whatever reason, I could never get ZoneAlarm to install and run correctly. It's been so long since I tried, I can't remember what the issues were. It may be my OS too, I'm using WinMe. However I do use AVG as well and it seems to do a great job, so far. I have a firewall with the router and when I check the logs, it shows all kind of intrusion attempts.

Let me knnow how that works out for you. My Norton AV has insited that I uninstall it and re-install it three times in three years. I think I'm about done paying for software that doesn't work.........
