I have been a zonealarm fan for quite some time, and it was the first security suit that I paid alot of money for, but a few months ago I installed Nortan security suit which came with my fancy motherboard and haven't looked back!

I bought 2 copies of Norton Systems Works with a degree of regret. It does make things slower and is not user friendly. There's also no tech support, try phoning some time, you'll see. You think a big company like that would have ____ together.

Oooookay...let's try this another way. I will post the actual warning from the website, though some of you will still not read what it says and will continue to tell me which antivirus you think is the best. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I find Ewido to be amazing. It's now AVG anti-spyware (it catches everything though). The free version has caught and cleaned desktophijackers and virii that no other scanner could catch (except panda). It is also compatible with most mainstream scanners like Norton and Mcfee allowing you to use it alongside them. Honestly, I dumped the rest and stuck with this one alone...it has a liveguard anyways...
Panda is great too but the good version costs cash.

I was just giving my [img]graemlins/twocents.gif[/img] because everyone else was <---Conformist Anyways, it's strange that an obscure virus scanner such as McAfee PLUS would pick it up and none others. Glad you got your stuff sorted out, though I hope the Conquer guys give a better explanation on how it happened.... |

Avast is a good virus catcher, since Kapersky is no longer free for its updates, at least last I heard it wasn't. Norton, what a waste of space...easier to cure viruses with a bowling ball.
