Go buy and return PC-Cillin McAfee's alright but not perfect (it's like Norton and grinds installs etc to a crawl... ), AVG's good for a free virus scanner, and F-Secure is supposed to be good but never tried it.
I might go and buy it yet .. something free surely can't be as good as something baught .. £50's a lot though didnt think it'd be that much.. i dont mind paying but ... (hate the realization everything costs) n with out the pop boxes sounds as if it does all the cheaking for you.. mebies what i should opt for just itll save me having to read the techy stuff mebies
Is there an alternative to sygate? I tried to install it on my computer and it screwed it properly. I lost my graphics drivers and couldnt reinstall them until I had got rid of sygate. Also, everytime my computer had finished booting up it restarted :spangled: Is there an alternative that isnt norton?
Not one mention of Zone Alarm? Easy to use, stealths all ports, does the trick I find! And it's free!
Oh and just to point out, don't use the built in firewall in SP2. Microsoft, in all their wisdom, failed to make the firewall block OUTGOING programs
my norton install is well fucked... everytime i start up it asks me to configure AV as if iv'e just installed it... *gulp* thinkin i might replace it all... hmmm....
I've never heard of Sygate doing that?! Sure you didn't have a virus/trojan that really wanted to be connected to the Net? Zone Alarm - (Unless you buy the Pro version) Tiny Personal Firewall - isn't too bad at all (poss the only thing from Tiny that works properly ) @ *Spinner*6*Sparki* - don't buy Norton!
I dont think I do, but then I only have norton antivirus?!? Any good free antivirus programs knowcking around?
AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 or use housecall - online free virus scanner (and it's tops ): http://housecall.trendmicro.com
Google for Trend Housecall - it's online and free. Norton uses too much system resources and installs itself everywhere - it's like AOL. it's ok for nuggets and people who have never seen a PC b4.
