Hi guys
Just a query, I currently don’t have any Anti-virus software because AVG decided to cancel their free edition protection -_- So I was wondering what you would recommend?
I’m nearly clueless about find good software and usually screw it up so can you help?
Thanks

Humm you can still use AVG for free mate, I’m using it at the moment. But if you want a code that will work with the new version just pm me and I’ll supply you with one I think it has about another 9 months on the code before it runs out.
aye if I’m honest.. I’ve never had one as long as I can rememeber (well over 5 years).. I only recently put it on when G/F started using my PC 🙂
yea don’t really need it unless your into opening random .exe files or downloading dodgy stuff. Personally I’d rather not chance it though(coz I d/l dodgy stuff and can ‘right click scan’ it before I open it and it’s saved me a few times) had viruses in the past and they proper fk up your machine and bring it to it’s knees…never had it be unfixable but it eats into game time way too much.
I’ve got NOD32 which uses next to nothing in system resources and is very maintenance free, just not actually free (unless you know where to look…cough*rslinks.org*cough :)). Kapersky is pretty good too I hear just avoid anything Norton and McAfee as they are big fat system whores.Thanks guys, I checked those out but I’m not sure about them ^^; (Smite me if you will)
Can I ask for some links? It’ll make things a lot easier for me (Yeah, I’m that incompetant)
i use kaspersky and have done for the last 18 months as norton is a major resource monster. its not free but again its a case of what price for protecting my hobby.
i havent had any probelsm with it, its fairly simple effectivei use kaspersky and have done for the last 18 months as norton is a major resource monster. its not free but again its a case of what price for protecting my hobby.

Used to use Avast coz it was free, then changed to Kaspersky, never looked back! Think it only cost £7 or summat, then when me year was up i just bought another key from t’ebay (just a couple of quid, well i tried a few*cough* other keys but they just get blacklisted real quick) were talkin bout a tenner for 2 years!
But if you insist on being a tight wad 😉 i thought Avast was ok!
pfft.. tight.. its all about knowing how to use the internet, this knowledge results in not having to pay 🙂
Avast! is free and runs quietly in the bacground. i was quite happily using it till work insisted I install Symantec 🙁
