verminer Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 at the moment i have McAfee software protecting my computer, it is about to run out and they want £30.00 to update for another year. i have been told to use the Firewall thats already on XP so this i have done. but does anyone know of any other good free virus protection that will be as good as McAfee. i do all my banking from the PC so i would need all round protection i think.

Pedro Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I had a problem where a virus got onto the computer and sent thousands of e mails to BT customers. They froze the account until I got in touch with them and then advised me to use AVG. They couldn't name the product but gave the biggest hint that this was the one to have. It costs nothing and so far is working a treat. They also advised a better firewall, this time it was PC Tools Firewall+ . Again free. P.

pin Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 AVG is very good, get it here For most purposes the windows firewall is adequate (blocking inbound), though if you want better content execution protection have a look at Prevx1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 The AVG free Anti Virus software is excellent, as is the Sygate Firewall. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
