Anti-Virus - Curio - 05-03-2005

My Norton Anti-Virus will expire in a month & was just wondering whether it's worth it to re-new my subscription as I do have AVG installed as well.

I would be grateful for any advice.

Hi Curio
I have AVG version 7 on my pc
Used Norton in the past, but the man that helps me whenever I have problems with my pc, has suggested AVG for free.

Hi Curio

Just to add to what Joan has said, make sure you have version 7 of AVG Antivirus. From Janusry 2005 Version 6 is no longer supported so any virus definitions will have no affect on any current "nasties" invading your PC.

I hope this helps.

Regards

HH

Hi Curio

Check this out. http://www.globalbuzz-sa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7386

I was using AVG but following personal experience and reading what the duck found out about AVG i have stopped using it now.

The Avast is really brilliant in that it automatically updates from time to time. I just get a pop up message that the virus definitions have been updated

Hmm dont know if the *boffs* will agree here ... but may not be a good idea to run both at the same time ??

had a pc crash last year, for which I suspect AVG was the culprit...

I now use Norton and have never looked back... :p
