Does anyone use a web based one or free downloadable program?

Spoke to some IT geek today who said to not bother renewing my norton as its shit and slows PC's down. He told me what to download but I forgot :oops: Said it was free and what his whole company used it with no problems in 2 yrs.

Got to agree AVG excellent works in the background and doesn't slow the PC down to much. It also has lots of regular updates.

I use Avast which is also free and it's always been good to me. Didnt think Zone Alarm was an Anti virus and was just a firewall?

Norton is indeed crap :lol:

Simply untrue, anyone who says a Mac doesnt crash and cant get viruses are idiots because they do crash and do get viruses.
