    Ive only ever used 2, Norton and AVG. Norton is a hungry application and will slow down your system. Ive never had a problem with AVG and will use it until I do.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    Norton is a curse!

    AVG is a good system

    Yep - others just slowed my pc down so i swear by AVG now

    AVG free edition has never let me down - anyone use the one that you pay for ? What extra does it give you ??

    We've got AVG on the PC, but I'm stuck with Norton on the laptop.
    How do I go about downloading AVG for the laptop?

    I always use a firewall and anti virus but I only use free ones.

    Window's own firewall in Vista is fine for me and for anti virus I use Avast as it's free and autoupdates.

    I was a longtime AVG user but switched to Avast when AV started misidentifying loads of files as viruses and it got on my tits.

    The best thing about Avast is that it autoupdates about 10 times a day.

    Every couple hours I'll hear some American bloke telling me 'your virus database has been updated'

    Makes me think he clearly knows what he's doing so I can just browse away happily

    AVG and Avast are not really that effective in detecting viruses. I like Kaspersky more.


    If you don't want any anti virus and viruses at the same time, use LINUX, OpenBSD, Ubunto, etc.Am using Mandrake Linux for the 15 computers I am handling. Never encountered a virus this year.
