There ya go.. Try it I think you'll like it.

i prefer McAfee, i have tryed norton, it uses to many resourses and slows my PC down, and it finds way more stuff than AVG..

still its a personal choice.

McAfee 8 is out BTW

norton......

in my book pound for pound, its the best.....more features, tools, and pretty damn user friendly.....beeen using it since i started using pc's.....and ive never had a virus out of control....

...............or on my pc either...

.....and, if you uninstall it once a year and then reinstall and register, ya get a free years worth of virus updates.....ive also read that they dont try to keep peeps from NOT paying the yearly fee, as their philosophy is basicly, "if thats what it takes to beat the virus;s, then so be it...."

kind of a refreshing attitude in this capitolistic world, eh?

/just my two cents...

Doc Brass...

I've always used AVG, it got rid of a real bastard of a virus i had a month ago. But keep it updated always, say every 7 days, then it works good. Also it scans out going email, and puts a cool little footer saying so on them. And zonealarm free edition is also quality, and has so far 496 malicious intuders. Or so it says. I think some of these might just be servers pinging me.

AVG ?

You dont get viruses on linux, btw

I use BlackICE and in 90 days ive had 1009 atempted connections and of that lot only 23 are malicious.

I usualy get UDP or TCP probes but ocasionaly get a Sub7 probe and I get a hell of alot of probes from 207.44.240.23 I have no idea where and what it is (apart from a computer).
