Bip 88 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hello angi from what i've read, because i have had no experiance with this application i would recommend reading what they are saying about it on the link below........If i was you i would remove it from your computer, sounds a bit dodgy to me. My anti virus which i find satisfactory is Avast which if you do a search you should be able to download for free......hope this helps BiP..XXX Castlecops web site--Forum Winantvirus...BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mick2me 3,033 Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Yes I agree. I am trying Avast, does seem very good. Another one is AVG, Excellent. Dont forget you can go back to a previous restore point as well. One good Microsoft Program is Windows Anti Spyware Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caz 25 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 We are using AVG too, seems good. Norton /Symantec was a pain in the fundaments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I paid for Both Norton Antivirus Firewall, and the other programs for maintaining your PC. It was a pain, took over your PC and difficult to get rid of. I now use avast and the FREE Firewall from www.zonelabs.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 You need Antivirus, AVG or Avast Firewall from www.zonelabs.com and Microsoft anti spyware All Free Quote Link to post Share on other sites
