Hi Cousin,

 

I can reccomend AVG antivrus as it's free and works really well, and you'll get all the updated dat files downloaded automatically.(Grisoft website)

Don't use Norton what ever you do, it embeds itself every where on your hard drive,is an absolute nightmare to remove, and does not work anywhere near as good as AVG.

A so called virus free Harddrive( as stated by Norton), was tested and found to have loads of viruses & trojans, which AVG detected and removed.(I've got it on my PC, so it has to be good)

Also install Microsoft Antispyware, it's also free, from Microsoft.

(CJS Computer services is my mate's company)

Hi Peter,

 

Too Late.

 

I've got Norton Antivirus installed.

 

AOL scan everything in and out using McAfee.

 

I've also got Zone Alarm Firewall running.

 

And as for spyware

 

I have SpyBlaster installed

 

I run Spybot, Microsoft AntiSpyware, AdAware, and AOL Spyware Protection (It's amazing how things picked up by one, are missed by another and vice versa)

 

And I'm not allowing anything with a Sony label into the house!!

 

So far I've been lucky

Companies access to your computer transmissions . . um there's something called the data protection act. If they get round that nothing and no one will be safe.

 

Norton . . just got a new computer. It came pre-loaded with Norton and not being a fan I attempted to remove it. Thinking I had managed to get rid of every last Norton ( Symantic ) file I then loaded Avast . . result one hell of a big crash. After checking found the only thing I could do, with my limited computer ability, was to instigate a restore to factory settings and live with it.

 

On my last computer I removed Norton, well pretty much all I could find of it, but not well enough. Norton was lurking somewhere as it kept allowing itself access to my computer although I kept trying to lock it out with my firewall ( Zonealarm ). One hell of a pain.

you can download a remover from the net ,handy for reinstalling and getting another years downloads

or use a third party installer ,it watches where every file goes and removes them when you want the prog removed ,being bold i remove it manually

the data prot act doesent really mean anything i guess it was introduced to stop people getting email leaks from within the government being that the gov doesent mind snooping everywhere its only applicable to the honest folk ,you usually have to sign a waver in most things anyway (otherwise whoever your dealing with refuses to cooperate) so it has no value except to the government so it can bend its own rules and for the government itself to quote when your on the track of something shady with the government or large business.

same for the freedom of inf act ,you only see what "they" want you too any jobsworth can stamp anything with a lable stating its "sensetive" or " a danger to the state" etc and withhold it
