| how much have you paid for you pc/laptop, i was on another forum other week they were asking about anti virus software, my son is a pc technition so i told them which he advised, i got some stick off them a lot said free versions are enough, rubbish theres a scaremonger going round, free versions dont update against new viruses/trojans immediately, you pay a lot for pc/laptop so protect it sensibly. the other site i will advise no more |

| There are loads of anti virus programmes about would agree that AVG which is free is o.k as long as you are not surfing the net for a long time |

| But i use Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 it cost £20 of amazon, when using this programme it does all the up dates in the background automatically with out having to be asked and you can still use the internet at the same time
Best money i have spent |

| a good test for them is downloading on torrent sites or kazaa full of viruses and trojans, the worst are trojans and worms when theyve just been sent out, i wouldnt change from kaspersky it tells you of new worms and trojans then updates to make you safe, theres a lot prefer avg, but no good for me because i download |
