Hey Everyone! :)

I use AVG Free as my default anti-virus program. I was just wondering if anyone knows any better programs, and also if anyone uses AVG.

I use to use AVG. Then I got Windows XP. :P
Now I use Norton AntiVirus. Costs money (if you buy it), but it's definitely the best protection. :)

Heh, tried AVG a while ago and hated it. Though I suppose it's ok for being free.

How do you hate AVG? It doesnt even bother you while your on the comp.

I like many options, I like flexibility, and I like a great interface. As AVG lacks pure escense of all of those attributes, it's just a waste of time, space, and effort :?

Yet it does its job, you dont need too many options for a program that keeps your computer from getting certain code.

Some Virus scanners just pick up the viruses, and dont delete them. Mcafree Deletes all viruses and Blocks scripts, like that stupid block checker on MSN

Your comp sucks if you cant. Norton uses way too many resources considering what it does.

It uses barely any resources after it loads. And how would you know anything about Norton, Cory? You have it installed?

I have seen people with it installed. I have installed it on multiple computers. Uninstalling it after people were unhappy was another story....
