Anti-Viruses

I use Avira Antivir because its FREE!! The capabilities are also nice. I have user AVG and Avast! but I still like Antivir better, and from my experience, AntiVir can detect viruses that was undetected in AVG and Avast!

Hi rina, I like using Norton 360! It's not free but it's a good product to use I think, it does virtually everything from monitoring spyware, catching all forms of viruses including worms, trojan horses, dialups and everything else. I also like the fact that when I'm surfing the net it tells me about the security of any particular website before I open that website, fantastic! There is one thing about antivirus products that is quite common! When you are carrying out scans they do tend to slow the system down a little when you want to do other things. I scan my system once a week and my system works perfectly. I would recommend you use this product if you are thinking of using something different. Good luck. Andrew

Hello Rina. Yes, we need to have an anti-virus system installed. The virus interferences are really very disturbing and annoying. I use the "Norton" system. That works quite well. There are options there in the system, which you can turn on or off as you prefer.

I've always used AVG. It's free, and fast. That, and I've never had a problem with it blocking any of the programs that aren't viruses. I once used Norton, but for some odd reason, it started blocking my router from connecting to my PC, and that annoyed the hell out of me for 3 days while I figured it out.
