356111 2005-05-18 02:26:00 I would say go for Norton. I used to use it and loved it.

But if you are looking for a free basic alternative:

www.grisoft.com

I guess it depends on your budget and your exposure to threats. (IE: If you are using P2P I reccomend getting Norton)

356112 2005-05-18 02:54:00 Why buy one? Go with AVG 7 free :thumbs: Overdrive_5000 (4950)

356115 2005-05-18 07:32:00 Hmmm . . . Good question . I personally use McAfee, and i have never had ANY problems w/ virus' cept twice but the antivirus software caught it, cleaned, and reported it automatically! Isn't that great! I even had two hacker attempts and both were blocked and reported, i even was able to perform a trace with the software from McAfee and they both originated from Wash . D . C . ! I even have the Anti Spyware its great stuff especally if your in an office enviroment, i am personnaly a home user, but i personally recomend McAfee Internet Security 2005 w/ Anti-Spyware 2005 They are seperate Software purchases, but wow you'll be very satisfied! The online help is soooo easy aswell they can Chat Live w/ you and you only have to wait for about 2-3min or less! to get help . All around this is really powerful stuff w/ aoutomatic updates and scans! Have any Questions? ask me and i'll fill you in! Hope i helped :thumbs: Neo (8063)
