I havnt gotten a responce in the other section of the forum.. so I was wondering if someone could tell me what they use for virus protection, I have norton but it bogges my stuff down to much.. how about AVG free?

Arctic388 · 03-21-2006, 08:36 PM

AVG is good, lite on resources and free.

norcodh · 03-21-2006, 09:15 PM

because I wasnt getting any reply in other sections

Cab00se · 03-21-2006, 09:16 PM

ah, I recommend AVG too, I put that on my mom's virus ridden computer and she hasn't had another bad one since, plus it's free and doesn't have a ridiculous amount of upgrades running constantly

AVG free FTW! you cant beat it, i would say it is just about as good as norton, mccafee etc.. but it doesnt come with all the extra crap you never use

norcodh · 03-21-2006, 09:23 PM

sooo AVG will do just as good as my norton? I mean I never have viruses anyway.. but as logn as im just as safe..

Dropkickmurphys · 03-21-2006, 09:26 PM

well, i think it is just about as good...but as it free you cant really expect it to be as good.....

Cab00se · 03-21-2006, 09:26 PM

or more so considering sometimes all that "free" upgrading and updating Norton does sometimes could potentially open you up for other stuff
