that's due to having a more user friendly setup compared to NOD32, but if you want the best protection then NOD32 is your product, and it won't eat up all your harddrive space.

AVG is also a great free antivirus. When the McAfee sub that came with my computer ran out I switched over. Haven't had any problems.

I have Norton and when I let it expire I got a very bad virus. It wouldn't even let me go to my home page (Yahoo) and would send me to a site for Anti-virus solutions. I renewed my Norton and it took about three weeks for Norton to finally get rid of it. Haven't had any problems since. I don't know which of these programs is the best but Norton did eventually get rid of it. I'm surprised Norton let a virus that bad get through. I've never had problems with it until I let it expire. Just passing this along...I'm far from a "computer techie guy." When I have problems with my laptop I make my IT guy at work fix it.

Now that you know that norton sucks try some free downloads to get rid of it. Like housecall, bitdefender, avira or avast.

My kids got a virus on my son's computer and my laptop.....I used several different things to clear off all the crap that ended up on there.
But the clincher to cleaning out everything (virus and spyware) was Hijack This. Plus I got a little help from people here and a Techie friend of mine who reviewed everything to make sure it was clean. Now all my computers have AVG.... mmaddog ******* |

Oh sure. It's not as good as Kapersky which is ranked no.1 and it's not free. Are you an idiot? |

I have a problem as well...
AD/Mal/Spyware. Ran Spybot. Hasn't helped. It boots off my native home page and re-routes to it's spyware page. Any free solutions would be appreciated.
Yes I have tried antifreeze option. |

Don't know if it'll work, but it's worth a shot. I dumped Norton recently for it and [crossing fingers] haven't had any problems since.

Keep in mind clamwin is not a realtime scanner - ie - it doesn't scan your system when you open a file in your email, or while your browsing... from their site - "Please note that ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner. You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware." |
