[rogermcgomry]

hi, i have been with norton for a cple of yr s but was wonderin if the free anti virus programmes u can get are as good ...i put free version of avast on me girlfriends and she seems to have no problem ....i like the form fillin and also password reminder on norton but it seems a lot ?40 a yr for these two extra s if the anti virus is as good free

Avast is great. I installed it for someone after finding a ton of malware on his computer. Apparently, its rated higher than AVG and Avira.

Be careful on which software you download for form fill-in. There was a popular spyware program years ago that did form fill-in while stealing private information.

avast is good and free

I use since many years Avira AntiVir Personal (free) and has found the viruses coming in mails/internet. Sometimes I check the HD in other computers with premium antivirus softwares, but they did not find anything yet.
So seems that the free version also makes its job.

for me avira have to many alerts but it a good antivirus

Avast is great.. The new AVG slows your PC down

Same reason why I switched back to AVast.

AVG tended to load slower on my laptop same with Norton.

In the past ,I use Nod 32 antivirus free and i have some problems.Now i use BitDefender Total Security 2010.Very good but not for free.It costs about 35 eur /year for 3 PC.

I've used AVG free for 3 or 4 years now. One of my PCs has had a couple of viruses in that time but the other has remained virus free.

Ive Used A Lot Of Free Antivirus Over The Past 6 Yrs And The Only One I Now Use Is AVG Free With No Complaints Top Stuff Guys And Keep It Free!!!

I love AVG coz it is free and easy to switch off when try to get some crack working and so far no virus court upon me. I don't visit nude stuff but be honest if you get court on a really s***t site there is no antivirus which really able to protect you anyway.

I'm using a 3 year subscription to Norton Internet Security which I bought off ebay for only ?8 several months ago. Great no problems at all and it doesn't slow my laptop.

Try Microsoft Security Essentials - it's free, and in my experience seems a little faster than AVG. I switched to MSSE after AVG missed a virus on my machine.

+1 MSSE is free and has a low footprint ..excellent
Avg is the biggest pile of PC AV crap going ,along with Mcaffe and Norton...those users who
use it are totaly deluded..
Esset NOD is the Bees Knees
