steve wilson Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Im using the free AVG 6.0 download but it cant remove all bugs There are so many on the market which one would be recomended Many Thanks Steve Quote
v7slr Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I prefer McAffee, and mine and many other companies implement it as standard practice but rather than recommending that I'm more inclined to suggest you buy anything BUT Norton. Quote
Blatman Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I have Norton installed and it works fine, BUT only because I use some work arounds for certain issues that it throws up. It also seems to clash with Zone Alarm on occasion, which is a pain in the A***, large style... *When* I'm forced to re-new what I have, it'll be McAffee that replaces it... Quote

Again, no probs... Quote
timd Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Eh? Did they have windows that long ago?? Nothing "special" about 98SE... etc etc... Quote
Blatman Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Yeah yeah. I'm sticking with it 'cos I have it running nice and stable, and with an older version of IE, no-ones writing virus' for it anymore. I have Win2000 and XP Pro on discs sat in front of me, but at the moment, there's no point... Quote
timd Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Nobody is writing programs for it now, let alone viruses... And another thing... If nobody is writing viruses for 98SE then what's the point in having an opinion on AV software - it's never gonna get used!! Edit: PS. Yes, I am bored... Quote
Blatman Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 I guess that Honda isn't as exciting as the dealer promised Quote
timd Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Nope - and I told him that on the test drive... For some reason he was under the impression that 9000rpm was something special.. It does, however have a nice leccy hood.. Have you uninstalled your AV software now then - seeing as "nobody" writes viruses for SE?? Quote
Blatman Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 No, because it still guards against the ones that are still out there that may cause problems. In fact, I did a full system scan last week, and found 3 virii lurking on my machine which had made it past both Norton and Zone Alarm. They weren't causing me any problems and as I don't use Outlook to store any e-mail addresses, it they weren't going out anywhere either. I was surprised though... I guess nothing is foolproof to a suitably talented fool Quote
steve wilson Posted August 16, 2004 Author Posted August 16, 2004 Well thanks for the info guys. I'll get Mcfee tomoz. Quote
PeterOz Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Virus? What's a virus?? Oh, yes that's a PC thing isn't it? Get a Mac. Quote
