| [Need] New Antivirus Well, that's it... I need some recommends for a new antivirus.
A year and a half ago I had found this one "antivirus" roundup that did scans with several antivirus programs, and among them, McAfee was one of the ones that seemed to be the most sensitive, being one of the ones to find the most real viruses on this test machine that I actually heard of.
Well, unfortunately I haven't seen anything like that since, and now I really need for something that can be very powerful for scanning viruses, without lagging my machine up too much.
Why do I want to switch from McAfee badly?
Because they're using it. I refuse to do business with any company that will do business with AOL. So I need your help guys... and I don't know where to begin looking.

| Re: [Need] New Antivirus But is it any good?
See, if there was another review like that one that did that "testPC/antivirus shootout", it wouldn't be this hard for me to decide... but I haven't seen anything like that since I already went to McAfee.

PC-cillin was voted in PCworld (last month) the best security suite out of Mcafee and Norton. I've used it before, and it is pretty comprehensive. Scans for spyware too.

| My favourite is Kaspersky5 . It is easy to configure and scans all POP e-mail as you download to your pc. You can set it for automatic system scans and automatic updates (as often as every three hours). Once set you can forget about it.
That's my 2cents.

| Re: [Need] New Antivirus Not necessarily virii, but every now and again, I end up finding a trojan or worm, that McAfee usually takes care of... but then again, now that they are with AOL, how can I trust them from blocking these things that AOLers usually use anyway?  :p
It might not be like a ton of bank records or something, but I consider my data important enough to at least want to have something to protect it.

| I used to use Mcafee (mc a fee) till I discovered that it didn't like windows (95 - 98) all the time.
I then switched to Norton 2003, which I like a lot.
But I do not like the newer version of Norton.
So I'll be going with AVG as soon as my norton expires. | |

| Re: [Need] New Antivirus said by NightLinks :you're like those that refuse to use microsoft products! Have you ever tried to support an AOL user? Have you?
Until you've had to deal with that kinda support call, I wouldn't talk. We're talking the same kinda people that can afford a $12k workstation and yet can't figure out the difference between clicking a program icon and clicking the text to rename the icon.
I've had to deal with AOL with version 5 when I was living in another person's home... it was their ISP, and they were paying for it, and I had no choice at the time. The highlight of my disgust with AOL came in the form of the fact that the thing purposely deleted critical system files not soon after spending nearly four hours reformatting the thing because it was just that slow.

I faithfully use Norton Antivirus. Used to be a Grisoft AntiVirus (Free Version) fan. I have also used BitDefender too. Norton does the virus scanning jobs for me, though I wouldn't mind trying another program.

It's completely free for home use, if it doesn't do the job you are looking for, you are not out of anything.
It updates on all of my pc's almost daily!
