AVG 6.0 is free
www.grisoft.com
i have avg 7.0 which is MUCH better than 6.0
Firewall...www.sygate.com sygate personall firewall u can get a free edition but i have the full one and it is much betta than free......
Theese are both reli good, i trust avg more than norton because i used norton ...no viruses....then avg and had 8 viruses.....so u choose

May72alliance its hard to believe u used both norton and avg at the same time and one had 6 vireses... Norton is also more popular and is always awarded with best antivirus... so i dont understand how u got 0 in norton and 8 in avg... maybe n avg also looks for spyware or adaware....?
RE: Good Virus-Scan by Jimcando on 09-02-2004 at 12:13 AM
aiiii, well ive got AVG and Sygate and they kool so im keepin them
anyways, u ave to pay for norton dont u? and i never actually buy software

Warez is illegal and prohibited from these forums. However, Norton is well worth the money. Tbh, by stealing software, you're just making others buy more and eventually going to make the software go extinct because not enough ppl will be paying for it.

*deleted because not allowed*

I think its because you're not suppose to have two virus scanners (i read on a website about it) they interfere with each other, causing them to miss things i guess.

PC-Cillin 11.2 - THE best anti-virus ever. PERIOD.
RE: Good Virus-Scan by jmccarroll on 09-02-2004 at 05:02 AM
I'm using AVG here...The free version. I haven't got any complaints about it, so until I have a problem you can't beat free. Other than that, its the only anti virus program I've ever used so it's what I'm most comfortable with.
RE: Good Virus-Scan by .Roy on 09-02-2004 at 01:00 PM
u can download the norton trial 
so its free but its limited so i suggest use it... It tells u when u get vireses and then it removes it Sp 2 is also helpful it makes firewall and all that stuff easy to use
