I use AVG-free.
It's free for non-business users, and very effective.
When the Norton subscription was drawing to a close on my daughter's laptop, I gleefully un-installed the hideous Norton bloatware and installed the trim and every-bit-as-effective AVG-free.
.
A client of mine purchased a new Dell a few months ago for his home... and the Norton that was installed on it was popping up reminders about renewing. He called me in to "fix" it because he's all thumbs where tech things are concerned (He's an optometrist). It also had McAfees installed on it... Dell installs both on the system before shipping and the new owner is supposed to select one... the good doctor selected both. It took me 40 minutes to remove Norton and all its pieces (Except, of course, for the stuff the uninstaller leaves behind) and about 7 minutes to uninstall the McAfee... which was much better behaved... and install AVG.
I suggest you take a look at Avast http://www.avast.com Again, this is an excellent antivirus program, daily updates and like AVG...it's a freebie also.
so do I but im thinking about actually purchasing the program so that the rest of the options are available.
ex. right now it will scan the complete system at a set time, if you buy it you can set the time of th scan and what drives it checks also i was wanting to take a look at that AVG internet security(would be nice to have an all-in-one again)
I use AVG too. A Freeper told me about it two years ago.
Maybe it was you.
" I use AVG-free."
Agreed. AVG is very good. I did have a trojan once and after I detected it, AVG cleaned it out real nice.
