| No more AOL ACTIVE VIRUS SHIELD..... Now what? Currently have that running on my system. Been running it for quite awile with no issues. Now thats its gone. Should I keep it or go with something else? I had Norton Anti Virus 2005 before AVS. That Norton was a major resource hog. AVS is very lightweight and has always done me good. Currently running:
Comodo Personal Firewall
Comodo BOClean
Active Virus Shield by AOL
Linksys BEFSR41 4.0 wired router
Spywareblaster
I have had zero problems with the combo. I would love to keep it that way if you guys suggest changing over to a new anti virus program. Norton is out of the question. | |

1 edit | I for one think AOL for a change made a smart decision, and although I wouldn't use AOL-McAfee (I can't anyway, I have Win 2000Pro SP4), I sure as hell wouldn't use Kaspersky!
Go with Avast, I replaced KIS Paid version and it runs good for me...
