I'm personally a Mac fan. -- Posted by Jay JWLH at 11:58 pm on July 14, 2006 http://www.pcmag.com/category2/0,1738,4796,00.asp Well from personal experience, AVG has turned out great. I know PC Tools and Trials from Norton (don't like Norton) are alright. -- Posted by ghostly denial at 12:00 am on July 15, 2006 hmmm, thanks for the suggestions. -- Posted by skunky monkey at 12:06 am on July 15, 2006 i would have aggreed with AVG about a year ago but then i found Avast.. Avast has seemed to be alot better then AVG.. it pickes up stuff that AVG doesnt and it actually searches your pc for virus's instead of just skimming through like AVG does -- Posted by Devil Jin at 12:09 am on July 15, 2006 Norton anti-virus is the best. -- Posted by skunky monkey at 12:10 am on July 15, 2006 yes but is norton free? -- Posted by x FENRIS x at 12:12 am on July 15, 2006 Ad-Aware is really good, which I use.(Anti-Spyware.)   Ad-aware has lots of features including removing agressive spyware, data miners, and trojans. It can quaranteen it, and provides a log about dangerous software that it removes. It's really good. Here's the direct link to that: Ad-Aware It will work with your win XP^ AVG anti-virus is also a really good, I hear. It protects your computer against: "spyware, adware, dialers, keyloggers, trojans and worms." Here's the link for that: AVG anti-virus software (Edited by x FENRIS x at 4:08 pm on July 15, 2006) -- Posted by 4est at 1:26 am on July 15, 2006 Quote: from nayan shadow at 11:58 pm on July 14, 2006 Quote: from cheerleadersbugme at 2:55 am on July 15, 2006 buy yourself a mac and youll be good..theres like 2 viruses known to man for it i agree, but macs suck with software though. i mean you can't download shit off the net and install it cuz this world is PC driven.

Thus you get an Intel Map and run XP in Bootcamp, or get any map and use Virtual PC. -- Posted by Napster the Hacker at 3:49 am on July 15, 2006 Try Avast anti-virus, Its a Good software.you can get that for free from here > http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html first you have to register and get the Activation key[they will Email you the Key#],after that download >Install > Run the Avast anti-virus >finally activate it by the Activation key.
