Kevin ,
Did you think that AVG 6.0 was as good as Norton and the same time it is
free. I use AVG 6.0 (because I'm cheap) , but even with weekly updates it
let six viruses through including a nasty backdoor trojan. I had to use
Housecall to find and delete them. Beware of things that are free. Jym
I am using also AVG 6.0 (I had Norton before it and I didn't find it worth
to waste money for it), and I haven't had any problems or virus infections
in my system. Almost every virus killers (commercial and free) have their
own flaws though. Norton get updates only once a week (every wednesday)...
Things, free or not free, do not keep you 100% safe. That's why user should
also THINK what he/she does. Simple things like:
- use firewall (and keep it updated also)
- keep windows UPDATED all the time.
- run regularly Spybot Search & Destroy (and keep it updated)
- run regularly Ad-Aware (and keep it updated)
- run regulary Spywareblaster (and keep it updated)
- use some virus killer all the time (and keep it updated)
- NOT open all attachment files from E-mails if don't know exactly WHAT they
are, even if they would be from known persons.
- NOT run/install just any junk they find from internet!
- NOT always mindlessly click "yes... yes... yes..." when get some POP-UP's
telling this or that in IE.
- use COMMON sense.
Those things should keep user away from harms way most of the time...
