| 416988 | 2006-01-01 22:05:00 | Recommend searching the PF1 forums, my first point of reference for most PC related questions . Wide range of views on many topics and an excellent place to start ones search . . . :cool: my vote: Avast And I will throw in Kerio for a free firewall . (requires XP) (Also try Outpost if you have an older machine around runing windows ME . ) Cheers :thumbs: |

| 416989 | 2006-01-02 00:18:00 | I vote avast because its realtime scanner is better, it picks up viruses as soon as they come in that AVG only picks up on the next full scan. but if your computer is fairly old I would use AVG on it as it doesn't scan as much stuff in realtime, so doesn't lag your computer up as much. |

I would suggest that A/V is one thing you don't get mean with. I strongly reccomend NOD32 |
