1349129 2013-07-17 04:51:00 Yes dial up. Some people still use it. :badpc:
No, its not my PC. No they wont be going to broadband.

So what AV program to use with dial up. The updates will need to be small obviously .
Since they wont pay for broadband, they wont be paying for AV, so the AV will need to be freeware, liming the choices
AVAST, MSSE , Avira or ??
perhaps even clamwin ??

dialup, forget about Win updates & security patches I guess.. :banana:banana

Its a customers PC. They want AV on it .
I have to give them some options/advice, apart from allready telling them most AV programs arnt really going to work well on dial up.
He was really keen to put Mcafee Internet Security on it (free 1 year licence) . God knows what that McAfee firewall could do to DUN ,famous for being hard to remove as well, I told him its NOT a good option.

1349137 2013-07-17 05:58:00 I would go for Avast in this case in that case. :p wratterus (105)
