Anti virus software

[Deako]

Do any of you guys use it? Personally I use Norton anti virus and have been 'saved' twice in recent months, once from an email and once from a website. Any thoughts?

Definitely a must, you have probably been saved more than twice deako, just these are the two times that you know about. Norton is probably one of the better ones.

 

Another good free product that is around is Mailwasher found at www.mailwasher.com and this lets you see any mail that you have got before you open your outlook, and delete any spam you get before downloading it. It also detects viruses as well. Give it a go.

Yeah, I use Norton also!

I use Norton AtiVirus and I have Norton Personal Firewall.

The "Firewall" stops other computers "reading" your computer files.

This is important if you use your credit card on the Internet.

 

If you want to check if your computer is fully protected, go to this website and take the "test".

I also think Mailwasher is the best thing since sliced bread.

In fact its better, as its FREE, but do think of sending the bloke some money.
