Which Anti-Virus to choose now?

[Lotussy]

Should i go for Mcafee or Norton?Or perhaps you gentlemen could recommend something else?Since i am going to pay for it,i hope to get a good one.Pls forgive me for asking too many questions because this is the first time i am buying a new pc.Thank u for your time and advice

How about AVG as shown on our Security Links page? It is free along with frequent updates and has been working well for me now for over a year.

[Lotussy]

Oh its free and its good?AVG....ok thanks Mr.Spock,i shall try this out

[Spock]

While you are on the PCTalk\Freeware\Security page listing, you may also want to visit some of the other sites indicated in that area. The ones in bold are what I consider a minimum to protect any computer.

As I've recently found, sometimes even that minimum isn't enough.

I will be updating my recommended minimum soon.

[Lotussy]

Ok thanks again Mr Spock

Lotussy, It seems you can't go wrong w/ either of the three. I have both of the original ones you mentioned, and the automatic updates work well in either one. I don't know if AVG offers auto, or any insurance that you hope you never need? Free sounds good and Spock gets around on the global HWY pretty good, so a year recommendation sounds good too.I appreciate your ?'s, because they have made me go back and learn and review some stuff. I hope I also have been of some help, it can be a daunting task but also a lot of fun! Keep on, Keeping on. Let me know how things turn out.

I use AVG Free and haven't had any large problems with it yet (fingers crossed).

Thanks gentlemen for the info. I have finally got Norton and its pretty good and safe so far i think....
