internet security

[MrKinky]

hey I was just wondering what internet security everyone uses. I got a new dell laptop for christmas with Mcafee on it and it dosn't work. All I keep getting is a blank white sceen when I click on it. I'v e-mailed them about it and still waiting for a response. Anyone any ideas as to what I should do.

AVG is pretty poor even the paid for version. Let in trojans which eventually fecked the computer.
Have used Bulldog for a year with no problems.

When I was using a PC I had Microsoft Security Essentials running on it. Never had any issues with it and it's completely free, always.

and it's a lot better than AVG but do you really want to rely on a software developed by a company that leaves these great big holes in their software that allow viruses and the like to exists in the first place..

You did not just say that, Norton is probably one of the worst anti-virus packages going, only reason it's popular is it use to come already installed on most new PC so people stick to what they know and the company has a large base in Ireland and if that's not enough the likes of PC world and Curry's push it because they get great markups on it.
As for AVG, might aswell use a condom with great big holes () in it as it would be as much use in protecting you from viruses. Loads of other options, I use Kaspesky but they have gone very commercial of late so I might try something else but it's still very good..

I used Kaspesky for awhile, but i found it slowed everything down to much.
