Antivirus..Which?

Here is the link to E-Trust EZ Armour, with 12-month free trial:

EDIT: Forgot to add on, if you don't want the firewall you can just remove it once you have installed it (like I did, since I'm networked )

Hope this helps.

F-Prot for DOS - www.f-prot.com Weekly scan using the Task Scheduler. If you have a good firewall and patched OS, the need for a background scanner is minimal IMHO.

it is worrying to see how people trust things don't work too well

I use Sophos and AVG. I like AVG because it is free and I like Sophos because I can keep my network virus free and it can all be kept upto date from one machine.

AVG is good with finding them, but couldnt delete it. Panda gave me spyware..and norton, well that just didnt pick it up, we knew it was there, we saw the blue screen of death!.

I downloaded a certain untested/unpacketsniffed program, and it was infected, I found out.

It's weird - I download loads of stuff, including some suspect programs, and my spam quota, including malware, is about a few hundred a day at the moment, yet I never catch anything And yet other people download something and hey presto - a virus. It can't be just luck. I feel left out

Many, many years I encountered a Pendown virus (I think it was called Pendown) on an Acorn. The virus lived on floppies - had to do because the Acorns had no disk drives. I also had a run in with the Blaster worm whilst working for my Uni. I was based in Computing Services (!) so I just asked a colleague to deal with it :o Other than that, my PCing has been virus free

Mcafee has had to jump on 2 trojans in the last few weeks for me but no viruses so far....ever...........fingers crossed.

Well I have always used the latest nortons internet security system ( 2004 right now )


And i hardly get spyware or viruse;s on this pc and its used 24/7 nearly by myself and other people, i regular scan for problems with nortons anti virus scanner, and with system mechanic and spybot 1.3 plus the new ad-aware SE, and nothing gets on this pc without me knowing about it

Ahhh and spyblaster runs in background

OFF TOPIC: Thanks Ramrod, you got me up another green block!
