The AVG free Anti Virus is excellent and does the job!

Seemingly the free version is better than the paid for one

Avati too is great... used both the Avasti, and the AVG. Found them both better that the 'Names' ... but after the last slip up... I was persuaded to use 'BullGuard'. Competatively priced so what the heck I splashed out £25. Pleased too so far.

i have had a lot of trouble with virus on my pc it has had to be reload twice in the last 3 weeks blue screen of death at the cost of £105 not a happy chappie and i had avast on my pc and still got virus
the computer firm tell me you can still get a virus with anti virus working i dont know if this is true can any one confirm that point and if so what is the point in having anti virus in the first place ?

1 more point can you have 2 anti virus working at the same time and will this slow the pc down
thanks

You need to make sure that the virus definitions are updated regularly. With AVG this usually happens every time you switch on your PC - but can be run manually also. A virus can still get in whilst using an anti-virus program if;

- the virus definitions are not up to date (your anti-virus program cant check for a virus it doesnt know about)
- the anti-virus program makers havent issued a definition for the virus (once a virus is spotted they usually get a definition out pretty quick)
- the virus is circumnavigating the anti-virus program installed (as above, once spotted the company will issue an update to their program)

Probably the most important thing to keep yourself secure on the net is to be careful what you open (email attachments) or download (and sometimes what sites you visit - especially if you're using a Internet Explorer).

I'd recommend using FireFox as your web browser (link on the right under the adverts).
Install an anti-virus program, and keep it up to date (I've used and would recommend AVG).
Install a firewall program, and keep it up to date (I've used and would recommend ZoneAlarm).

All of the programs^ are free to download and use

Aye, but it's like the Waltons at our house

Just updated my avg

Then there is them 'Ba###ds ones that nip in and take all you Email addies. Float upon high and send viruses non - stop to the all. I once had irate addies asking not to keep sending messages as they were full of viruses.
I never had my P.c. on. Not connected, or plugged in etc. That took a hell of a time to sort. the 'Good Guys' first of had to find the 'Satalite' being used, etc. let alone kep up to date with all the new ones it was sending out. Not a happy chappie was I. Couldn't even send and applige...
