    Virus Killers

    Can anyone advise as to the best AntiVirus Software ?.

    Some say McAfee, but apparently not as good as Norton.
    Some say Norton slows down your system.

    At this moment in time I am using AVG. Grisoft, very easy to use but never
    the less I still managed to download a Blaster Worm, possibly due to Microsoft
    updates or windows explorer, and I had not loaded the latest AVG. updates,
    I was only a day behind.

    It was one hell of a job to remove.
    ) "Tact"?, "Wot Tact"?, "I thought that was something u nailed in a carpet". )

    Success, can be the result of many Failures,
    and believe me, I should know I have enough.

    I used to use Norton 2004 which is horrible, keeps popping up, is slow etc.

    Use McAfee now and it's fine. Updates silently and pops up urgent virus news so I'm kept informed.
