AVG has worked for me 98% percent of the time, I got other programs, but I use AVG usually.

I'm just wondering how long a computer scan would take considering the used disk space is 46 GB and free space is 175 GB (if that makes any difference)

It's been going for 1 hour now.

RAM? I THINK I have 4 GB RAM, but how does that affect any scanning?

I don't really know much about this.

Ram is Random accessed memory its how much can be processed though it. Sometimes when poeple have 2 or 1 gb ram it can affect how well it runs.

Should not take long tbh. i have a 800 gb hard disk space and it takes about 2 hours nearly 3

No, I don't like Avast. AVG isn't bad at all, you just have to update it every second. Well, it's much better than that shit load of Macafee or some other Microsoft shit.

Errr no, I have a CERT IV in Systems Administration. McAfree has a proven track record in Scanning and Pick-up rates, AVG failed at the bottom of PCMagzine and other tests in pick up ratio.

OMG haha lol.

They CAN get it, but it's like a 2000-1 ratio. Normal Microsoft shit computers get viruses ALL THE TIME, but Macs and the like hardly ever get viruses, thats one of the best things about Macs.

500 sites blew Apple's ratio out the window including major companies. Virus include: Spam, Spybots, Hidden Cookies, Key Loggers, Trackers and what I just listed, they don't fall under that bullshit ratio. Mac PCs use a Linux Code and Linux OSes get Viruses.

Catlin, do you really believe EVERYTHING you read on some random site? Have you proven it for yourself?

I personally don't have any degree on anything yet, but my dad does. He's got an engineering computer informatics degree thing (not sure what it's called) and he works with computers all the time. He's proven AVG can do it's work, and that Macs are very reliable dealing with Viruses and stuff.

Nah, they don't.

I've had my mac for 3 years and never had a virus, never crashed, nothing wrong with it. :)

There's one virus someone made, but you actually have to download the program, open it, type in your password and let it run. Anyone stupid enough to do that deserves to have a virus.
