| 1236119 | 2011-10-07 07:19:00 | I have been reading through some posts on here and it seem that the free Anti Virus programs available on the Net are not that great. So what should I look at getting that won't slow my PC down too much and try to scan every program I open and call it a Virus. Cost is of course a factor I have 2 Pc's 1 with XP the other Windows7 |

| 1236121 | 2011-10-07 07:54:00 | MSE broke for me. I'm currently using ESET (not free though). I've heard go things about avast. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1236122 | 2011-10-07 08:22:00 | MSE broke for me. I'm currently using ESET (not free though). I've heard go things about avast. You say that MSE broke for you. I had a similar problem recently when MSE stopped working for me. I needed an Anti Virus so I downloaded Avast to replace MSE in the meantime. I will go back to MSE eventually. |

| 1236123 | 2011-10-07 09:41:00 | MSSE for free and Nod 32 for paid. Just don't get Nortons. LL |

| 1236124 | 2011-10-07 09:49:00 | I would go for Avast! for free or NOD32 for paid. Definitely NOT Norton or McAffee |

| 1236125 | 2011-10-07 09:51:00 | MSE broke for me. I'm currently using ESET (not free though). I've heard go things about avast. When MSE broke for me, uninstalling and doing a full reinstallation didn't make any difference. It turned out to be objecting to the presence of a folder left by the ESET online AV scan. IIRC MSE refused to update and the firewall wouldn't load. Whatever the problems were, deleting that folder and rebooting produced an instant recovery. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
