So I've been using Avast virus scanner and it was pleasing at first but its become somewhat disappointing after a while. Does anyone have any personal reccommendations for an anti-virus software that I should try? And PLEASE GOD don't suggest Norton!! When I think of trying to use Norton again it gives me a thirst for blood Twisted Evil

I developed a personal hate towards Norton cuz back when I was into... Lets just say manipulating people who don't keep their security as tight as they need to, I had alot of files that I used and Norton didn't like and sometimes wouldn't boot up because of. Altho I'm done with all that I still hold a personal grudge with Norton.

btw, Skid Row ROCKS

Oh, and by the way, kinda off topic, but one spyware scanner that I really love, but am just sometimes too lazy to use is Bazooka. It definately seems to be a sure cure for most of the more troublesum objects.... Just loved it so much I thought I'd share it with you guys... If you haven't checked it out and you are obsessive about having a clean PC as I am and have an hour or two to spend cleaning, check it out.... Might suprised Very Happy (Recommended for the more advanced user)

i am using f-prot antivirus for the last years, and it works ok.
nice feature is in the taskbar, there ya can turn on/off the realtime protector with a single click, which is very useful when copying suspicious files *g*
also the definition-update is very easy via anon-ftp -> ftp://ftp.f-prot.com

other products i never tried except for norton and mc.affe and both suck like hell. norton sucks at performance, and deinstalling affe will mostly cause a unuseable os.
also the politics of both firms are not my thingy Smile


regards, HD
