Have just been ravaged by the VBS.Loveletter.CI worm - have reinstalled Nortons anti-virus 2002 which I had procrastinated about re-installing after upgrading to Windows XP - Have reinstalled it now, removed the worm and lost 8900 infected mp3, jpeg files in the process. A freeware antivirus program 'AVG' has been reccomended to me - can I run both programmes simaltaneously? or will this slow my PC too much? I am running a Celeron 500mhz cpu with a 30gb hard drove and 256mg Ram |

its not usually a good thing to run both at the same time. but you can have one running(autoprotect) and use the other as backup(run it manually not autoprotect) |

Nah, I'd definately stick with Norton Antivirus 2002. This should work in XP perfectly, it has the xp logo on the box too. If you use a pop server for your email (such as outlook for xtramsn) make sure email scanning is enabled too. If you use getright, you can automatically scan downloads, just go into configuration, click the 'when done' tab, and it will have a box titles virus scanner or something similar. Click the magnifying glass, and the box should be filled in for you. Tada! |
