arfur mo Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 i ran the single user trial version of SOPHOS, i know its one of the classier brands as the wifes firm are agents and sell it so i know it's abit pricey. seemed to me very resource hungry, update slows my machiine down to a crawl, and this on a dual core regs alan We got some BT security pack with the brordband package. Havn't had any problems.Is it true 95% viruses get you via email attatchments? thats the figures, and usually from some one you know than a stranger . you tend to trust them more but dump junk mails. dodgy warez and porno sites are flooded with it, trojans, worms, maleware - so i'm told regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Guest RJBsec Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 My advice is stay with Kaspersky but if you have to move on the basis of not understanding a warning move to NOD32. Free (and most paid products) just don't have the update frequency required for today's Internet environment, let alone the quality of the product itself..

Chorlton Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 How often should these things be updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RJBsec Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Mine checks for updates hourly, daily should be an absolute minimum - most programmes update weekly or even less frequently.
