Anti Virus

[Si]

What's a great anti virus program (that doesn't make my pc really really slow)?
I've tried searching the forums for a thread like this, but the only ones that came up were pretty old, I think they're newer programs/versions now

Are you willing to part with any cash? Or do you need a free one.

Best free one that I've come across is AVG

I had done this yesterday, but kept getting alerts that the version was too old or something
I have been using it for a while, want to try some thing else

I use AVG on my laptop...it's good stuff...

i'm installing it now on my comp here at work

[Si]

I've installed it
My pc says it's an old version ..out of date or something, *sigh
Maybe it's just Service Pack 2 that's giving me this crap

[BWilli]

i installed version 7 right now and it's running fine...i need to update my laptop though...

[Si]

Downloading updates
Hmm

and my pc makes a weird sound now, as if there's something in the disc drive
lol

*making a reboot disk thingy

I think this will work

*waits patiently

[BWilli]

:lol: so far my comp has 47 infected files on it...and AVG is still running...haha

Thats weird,  usually it tells you a new version is available and you click the prompt and it installs.  Si your comp is MESSED UP  :razz:   Ill come fix it wednesday night when im free

[Si]

It's all fixed now. Made the backup reboot repair disc thingy, scanned my pc
I only had 2 viruses on it

Thanks

Hint: The best free anti-virus software you can get is Linux (or another *nix, like BSD, if you swing that way). I've not had a single virus, adware or spyware sinse I installed it ;-)
