keeping on top of viruses is hard work, and people who do that kinda work should get paid.
so, no.
however, zonealarm is a good free firewall program that will stop
funky stuff from hittin you machine.
after that, keeping your head on straight and not opening suspicious emails and generally just being careful are the best
defenses.
Try buying original s/w instead of trying to d/l warez. That should protect you.
Buy it! Norton is well worth it! It's saved my computer and sanity so many times!
Yo Vicki Babe :) :Thumbsup:
hey cariad *mwah* how are you? *cuddles*
I didn't download a warez version that's why I was asking for some free anti-virus software...Quote:

Vicki -clear some of your messages out:)
Norton :eek: Norton is a virus annoying P.O.S!
Mcafee or that freeone available from the web! Hmm whats it called!!!
Not always the case, downloading warez is far from the only way to get a virus!Quote:

I like Norton, dunno about you...never liked McAfee much..
I already have McAfee which came with my computer 2 years ago but I don't feel like using it (maybe the CD is all corrupt by now).
You dont FEEL like using a anti-virus package you already have instead you want to download illegal versions??Quote:

bah
sounds like he was looking for some decent freeware.
The point we're all making is that any virus software worth having is worth buying.
I like Norton too. But like Beacon, I know of a handful of people that have had nothing
but headaches with norton. I'm guessing Mcafee and Norton are the ones worth looking at.
Medic! I've been Hamstrung!
Ya, but is it any good?
grisoft's AVG is pretty good
heres a link to a review from PCPlus mag
I can't get to the link directly so this is Googles cached version
Thanks for the link, Parskie. I'll check it out.
Beacon, I never said I want an illegal version. Even I specifcally said that I want some free version.
