Re: honestly, how good is AVG free antivirus?
From a professional computer technician who is out in the field every day, been doing this work for 17 years catering to home computer users and small business, there is nothing better than Norton for Anti-virus. run Spybot, Ad-aware and Spy Sweeper (all three at least once a month) for spyware/adware cleaning.

I will not be buying another subscription to Norton ever again! |

Re: honestly, how good is AVG free antivirus?
Norton anti-virus is only $32 at Sam's club, $49 and sometimes less at Office Depot, Best Buy, etc. And if you had as many service calls as I have had from people using AVG and other free programs that didn't catch a virus that Norton would have, you would know Norton pays for itself!!!! Great for my business that there are those that are too cheap to buy the good stuff. More business for me. You don't need the internet security edition of norton's, have had that cause problems in some computers. Just Norton Anti-Virus 2005 for $32!!!! And the yearly updates are low cost enough you can't go wrong. As I tell my customers, don't be cheap on something this important to your computer, spend the $32 now or you'll be spending $85 for me to do a service call later.

Norton Internet Security.......eBay $30 delivered.
Maybe there are some viruses it doesnt catch, but nothing catches everything. Also you get the entire suite that blocks 100% of pop ups, rids you of almost all SPAM, Blocks almost all web page ads....... Hell it's worth twice what I paid.....MSRP [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure what to make of this, as it's a bit off. Perhaps your job leads you to give people the easiest answers most of the time. That would be understandable. Norton is too much of a resource hog to be the best. That's why, for me, common sense + a variety of free scanners and removal tools = a much better solution than Norton. I've tried many versions of Norton and have never been satisfied with the way it runs. However, I will say that it's the best of the 'big-name' scanners/cleaners. |
