hey peeps and sheeps

just reinstalled windows and intead of installing norton internet security, i installed AVG to see if i got a system boost.

just wondering what was a good AV in your eyes as im not to sure about AVG as norton was tryed and tested. and without norton i can see the evil adverts that make me spend

i have windows defender and h/w firewall + common sence.

any advice?

ta lots

Norton is nothing but bloatware in my experience.
I happen to use AntiVir Guard and it's never let me down, but then I don't download the sort of stuff that's likely to be infected ;o

I use pc-cillin + hardware router/firewal and touch wood I dont have any issues.

I use Sophos + Zone Alarm (which is insanely annoying) but i haven't had a virus in longer than i can remember.

I use AGV & its good but I run the Web bases PC Cillin tool "House Call" every couple of weeks & it has over the past couple of years detected only two down loaders which had slipped past AGV . AGV did actually detect them or their clones in my restore directories but on each occasion it was a few days after they had been cleansed by PC-Cillin . I have down loaded the MS key scrambler guys which is FOC on the MS site to add another layer of security to Windows Defender ( I also use Spybot search & destroy on my stageing rig). I agree with Malis on Norton / Symantec in that they are both full of crap which simply hogs resources.

yes, thats why im trying AVG, good programs but slow he hell out of your PC

I'll lookinto this key scrambler, just need a ad blocker to get rid of the anoying smilie adds

Router (hardware firewall) > Kerio (software Firewall) > AVG Free edition > AdAware Free = no indidents

I use AVG and have done for years with no problems and I love how fast it is too.

Re0s just install firefox with adblock v.5 and you'll have no popups. It'll even keep itself updated to stop new ads

i dont like FF, and AVG can suck my digital balls, i got a virus the other day and AVG did dog all about it, the only reason i knew it was there was coz windows defender spoted it and a full system scan with AVG did not show it up!! instaled norton and it picked it up straight away :/

last time i try to get free porn

Stupidity + internet = die.

Hardware Router (with firewall) > Hardware Cisco Firewall (dads) > FireFox + Adaware 6 > Windows XP*

*OH SHIT I STILL GOT A VIRUS!!!!!!!
