PC Protection.
 

Any one recomend a good PC Protection. Preferbly a free one.
Using Mcafee at the moment and it is not a good one.

I use avast and it is free to download

Pile of....i removed it from someones laptop and it was about 3 times quicker after, then i whacked on AVG. :thumbsup:
I use Sophos myself but it's not available to the general public :p

which version do you use ian, the free issue or pay???

AVG i put the free one on as it wasn't mine.

I use AVG free on two pc's and a laptop, no problems here!!

AVG is what i use, it doesn't kill the processor as much as some others (Norton, McAfee to name a couple)

surprised you're not using about twelve virus checkers and things with the sites you go on... :o

Don't be silly, they stop half the good stuff! :lol:

Downloaded the free AVG version.
Cheers for the info.

all in all i use AVG, Spybot, and Ad-aware. my laptop has never had a virus and ive ended up on some dodgy sites...:thumbsup:

AVG is ok, i use Bitdefender though after recommendation from top US security geek Steve Gibson @ grc.com

Registery protection I use - Spybot, (enable the resident protection)

Virus checker I use an online one but there are probably many

All these are free, also be carefull use common sence and keep the microsofts updates up to date

If I get any issues that cant be fixed I just recover from a backup using Acronis, does a full re instal in about 30 mins
