What Pc Protection.

[Bob King]

I have Norton Internet Security 2004 installed on my PC,and today its started flashing at me that the renewal is due soon, it gives the option of another year with the 2004 addition at £21.00 + vat, or 2005 upgrade for £29.75+ vat.

Another option i have ,is to go with McAfee Virus Scan which is an upgrade on my AOL broadband, something like a free trial then £2.49 a month extra, not sure what to do, any sensible advise would be great,

Bob.

Mcafee and Norton are both very good. Sophos and Pandasoft are also good.

Pays your money takes your choice.

I have Mcafee at the moment , but have used Norton before. Either way it pays to get the updates. In conjunction with anti-spyware and zonealarm firewall.

in my opinion - no.

use avast as your anti virus software.

much smaller foot print.

norton Av is toss, doesnt pick up quite a few viruses, kaspersky is very good however.

I've just installed Norton Systemworks and Internet Security 2005 on my new machine, I've used Norton for the last 4 years. It's cheaper if you buy it off eBay ;)

yep AVG "free edition" on both networked pcs.

does the job well and i`ve had no nasty rashes, and i do lots of potentially virus ridden stuff..............

[Andy_F]

I use PC-Cillin. It does the job excellently without being too intrusive. Its also quite cheap.

I've been using Free AVG for a few years now and never had a problem.

Used in conjunction with Spyware Blaster, Spyware Guard and Spybot -Search and Destroy, my main machine has stayed free for years of all the rubbish and dodgy stuff that my mates keep getting.
