ordnance Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Try Avast free antivirus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Tried Avast....downloaded on Monday Virus on Wednesday...cost me £125 to get the HD cleaned and windows reinstalled... If it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Buy a proper AV like Eset... install it and forget it... http://eset.co.uk/ The best by a mile.
