| 1205599 | 2011-05-29 18:15:00 | Hey, just wondering how you guys rate this. I have a clients computer here with this on, definitions outdated.. and some interesting worms/trojans co-existing. Was only when I installed MalwareBytes and ran that (on 181 day outdated definitions) that these were even picked up. **(at this stage I am keeping this thing offline, will find updates and add with USB key when I get time after work today)** Is it worth updating this, or shall I just kill it and install something like AVG free? Cheers |

| 1205601 | 2011-05-29 22:52:00 | I'd add that NO AV + Antispyware will protect you from basic human stupidity thats the reason for most infections. Try telling people not to open joke emails & see what the response is. or not to click on popups, or try banning USB sticks brought in from home. AVG is getting quite bloated now. I wouldn't put it on an old or slow PC. BTW, dont put your USB stick into an infected PC. Burn you AV programs & updates etc to CD. You'd be surprised how many techs USB sticks have had virus infections & taken site to site. |
