| 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. |

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...

Leaning more and more towards Avira at the moment. But like you said. It doesnt scan email. But the paid version does. Does the paid premium version have a 30 day trial? Id like to try it before buying. |
