Best free anti-virus instead of norton 2004!!

[johnnr892]

Hi, I would like to try a free anti-virus software because norton 2004 is really getting on my nerves and stopping me connecting. Which have you found to be the best?

I have AVG and it seems to catch everything i throw at it. It also auto updates every x days (whatever I set it to), so my internet connection sharing machine just gets the updates without me having to log on to it every week.

I also use AVG, seems very good to me, never had any problems *touches wood*

Ok, i'll give it a go, got my internet working after a fresh install so i'll install it and see how it goes, thanks. Any other good one i could look out for?

Not that I can think of at the minute. Google it, you should find some there.

Also, get a firewall. I forget which on e I use, it isn't on this machine!

I'll second Avast as a good free AV solution. Always found it very effective.

I have AVG too but would be open to suggestions to a better av.

Having said that i've never ran into problems with AVG
