What's a good free antivirus software I can use with regular updates?
I think my computer has been infected with a virus because it's not allowing me to browse the web with either IE or the AOL browser. The IE browser keeps giving me a ''Not repsonding'' message whilst AOL just automatically switches itself off. I've ovbercome this problem by using System Restore on XP...LoLz...Thanks.

23 thumbs up for AVG. free edition has updates too.

btw, anyone know the difference between the free edition and the non-free one?

non-free one you get customer service and can use in commercial situations

Yea thanks, Im using AVG now...

The commercial one sounds useless then...

The AOL browser ? Having once been a user of AOL, a virus is the least of your problems

I'd say AVG, but plenty of retail scanners like VET / Mcaffee are just as good if you want to buy them. Norton is good, but too much of a system hog to recommend.

AVG is really good coz of the regular updates available....plus it's free...

 

[fatmuscle]

erm, no.....

it does depend what version of norton you're using

I'm not sure about the older versions of Norton but the new ones are huge resource hogs.

I like Trend Micro Internet Security, though you have to pay for updates. That AVG one looks interesting, i might check that out.

AntiVir is also excellent and free.

Trend Micro gets my vote... but they want money now so I will try another one. Norton really sucks, it hogs up your computer resources

yeah im using AVG as well .. seems to have done the job - recommend that you use a firewall as well
