Nina, I downloaded the free AGV 7 last month, its very good and I'm glad I did, it dug out 2 viruses and 2 Trojan horses..........which nothing else had detected!!! Runs for between 3/4 hours. Lin

Thanks Linda Elaine

AVG Free http://www.grisoft(.)com/doc/40/lng/ww and ZoneAlarm http://www.download(.)com/3000-2092-10039884.html Lx

Can anybody tell me the website address for AVG? I've googled it and got allsorts!! Thanks Elaine

I dumped paid for Mcafee for the free AVG7 program - it is much better - updates itself on at least a daily basis - sometimes even more than once a day. When a virus ate all my hard drive, the Microsoft Mechanic said did you have anti virus and I said Id Mcafees and he shook his head and said get avg. I guess that a qualified MS mechanic must know! Dont forgedt to download a free fire wall aswell - I have zonealarm.

I would agree - I know some people are happy with Norton but it caused me no end of problems !! - I charnged it for Macafee and am happy. Anything other than Norton, in my humble opinion, is preferable. Dea x

Dump,Norton - Go to Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programmes and you should see Norton listed. Highlight it ansd click on Remove. Don't put on new virus prog till you have dumped Norton or there will be clash between Norton and the new one and will slow down yopur puter apart from other things that could happen. I had AVG for some time but found that on Broadband you need something bit more sophisticated - after all you know that you dont get much for nowt, so I paid out for Ezee - very good prog.

I dumped Norton and downloaded AVG Free. Haven't looked back.

thanks everyone - think i might try the avg

I use the pay version of AVG too, and I love it! Julia

Nina Use the pay version of AVG at work and our computer guru in the office wouldn't let us use anything else!!! Looby

Anyone got any opinions - my norton is due for renewal in the next few days don't know whether to pay out or download the free avg
