Seeking Antivirus Software
« on: February 05, 2007, 07:51:23 PM » |
|
Home computer runs Windows XP Home and, currently, Norton Antivirus 2006. NAV2006 has run out its one-year Auto-Update subscription and pesters me to renew. Research shows that NAV2007 sucks hard.
Looking for something good and protective that doesn't require me to be a programmer to understand, install, and use.
Help me, Ho-bi-Wan, you're my only hope.

I'm looking at a free download of AVG, but I remember Aske talking about Kaspersky. Don't know which version, though.

aske will be back shortly. He's watching Heroes on TiVo.
FWIW, I use McAfee and have had good luck with it.
