which virus software

PCkillin.

Be aware, they charged me twice last year on a web download and I was unable to communicate with them to negotiate a return, Visa eventually refunded me the overcharge as a gesture of goodwill.
My neighbour had a similar problem with them last week, download on the web went wrong and no way to correspond, and went and purchased another product from a retail outfit.

The download I think is around 28mb plus and my connection went down and used a web manager "flash get", the next time I went in they charged me again although I had paid for repeat downloads.

So my view these days is not to buy anything on the web that does not have a contact address and telephone number. If contact address is evident check it out first with a silly question.

I agree about the online purchases/renewal/download. I got stung by Mcaffee a year or so ago. I eventually got the refund from Visa, but what a drama.

Same on ebay...anything big, I get a name, address and phone number and verify it before sending money.

I've just swapped from Norton to AVG, seems Ok so far. I'm still getting used to it, but it seems to be updating the signatures and scanning automatically like a good boy.

I have a wireless home network - an IBM Netvista P3, a new HP nc8000 and a Toshiba Satellite. All run XP Pro. All are protected by Norton AV and Zone Alarm Pro firewall. Have been for 5 years. Both update automatically (as does Win XP) on all 'puters.
I've never had a virus or worms or any other bug for that matter. When they expire I renew on line with no hassles at all. I get plenty of expiry warnings.
All 3 computers are on 24/7 as is my high speed broadband. All of them have a programmed full system scan at 1.00am every Saturday. Zone Alarm has a big red button which instantly stops all net activity.
They're my favourites and the tech support is brilliant.
My ten penneth worth.
