Title: Protection? Post by: nochee on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 14:39:18 I bought a new laptop a month or so ago and it came with Norton antivirus already installed with a free trial. Anyway that free trial is now coming to an end and i either need to pay to renew it for a year or i get something free from the web.
Any reccomendations? Title: Re: Protection? Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 14:40:16 avg

Title: Re: Protection? Post by: nochee on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 14:59:45 Is the free avg enough? I see there are 2 other versions with better specs.
All i use the net for is general web browsing and movie/music downloading. Thanks Title: Re: Protection? Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 15:11:20 http://thetownend.com/index.php/topic,33606.0.html
Title: Re: Protection? Post by: Batch on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 15:42:19 AVG slows down my computer because its so old. Other than that it works fine. Just be careful with the damned link (URL) checker setting.
If you are going for a commercial prog then Kaspersky internet security 2009 is about £13 for a 3 PC (year long license) at Amazon. Title: Re: Protection? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 15:50:31 And there's me thinking this was a thread about condoms.

is Avast! any good? my avg messed up a while ago so i got the mos t popular alternative. seems to work fine so far. Title: Re: Protection? Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 19, 2009, 01:56:51 I think so.
My AVG stopped auto updating but I manually downloaded the new version and it's been fine ever since. Happened on two computers. Title: Re: Protection? Post by: oxford_fan on Friday, June 19, 2009, 03:01:31 yeah same here, except when i got the new version it did the same again.
after a good few months running and speaking to me in american, avast has just kicked in and done something for the first time. i was told to get onto this site http://www.dialang.org/ to test my proficiency in german for some pgce stuff, but it seems there's malware or something associated with it? even if i ignore the warning google seem to block me. |
