Title: What Anti Virus software?
Post by: Mick on June 28, 2013, 05:15:30 PM
Just out of interest, what Anti Virus software do you use on your PC / Laptop? Loads of people slate Norton internet security, but that's what I've been using for years without problems.

I use free version of COMODO. Some have opinions against them but I am virus-free and have been for many years :) So it works fine for me!

I think whatever you use so long as you use it properly and don't do stupid things you're generally going to be OK.

Good advice.  Although I used to use AVG and Zone alarm a few years ago, and although they would often detect a virus, they wouldn't clean it off my system. Not sure if that still applies.

That is pretty much the truth! Stay away from websites that look shady and you don't feel right about. Like sites with ccTLDs and .co.cc or .tk sites, I stay completely away from them.
