Re: [Need] New Antivirus
said by C0deZer0  :Because every software AOL has touched has gone to $h*t soon after. And I refuse to do business with any company that will do business for AOL. I agree. 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.

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 too also highly recommend Avast Antivirus
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!

I would like to give another vote for Avast. I use the free version on my laptop and love it.

I don't see what mcafee has to do with AOL and you not wanting to use it because aol is giving it away for free and you having to pay for it? |

Well, for what it's worth, I managed to get BitDefender 8, which seems to also include a crapload of extra protection software, including a firewall and an anti-registry-changing thing (reminded me of spybot's system-settings protection).
So far it's proving to have a crapload of features and replacing a lot of the stuff I usually would have downloaded.  Me likey!

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. |

CZ try these out. I use them and they work great together, not too bad for free. I also run NAV and AVG usually catches things first.

PCC is just hard to get rid of if you ever plan to get rid of it. I also had a problem with the email scanner freezing from time to time. |

If you're worried more about Worms, and Trojans, why not us an AntiTrojan. BOClean, TDS, and TrojanHunter sell good AT's with lifetime updates. One License of BOClean allows you to use on all your PC's. TH and TDS is a per machine license. |

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.
