james.wilson Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 we update our servr over 10 mins. It has caught some brand new ones. As long as you wait till your updated before using your machine and all the data it uses is older than the update than no you dont need to update more often. After you get a virus on your avg machine... then you will see that yes you did need to update more often. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

hpotter Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 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 Mates, who'd have em. You would think though porno sites would be clean ..... I could of worded it better. I mean, if we all thought porno sites were dirty.... I mean if we could catch something off a porn site... Put it this way, I wouldn't go to a porn site if I thought my computer would be at risk, unless I was desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompostCORNER Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 AVG Free for me. At the end of the day, if you are vigilant enough with your browsing and your attachment opening, you could almost get away with nothing. A decent hardware firewall, like built into most ADSL router/modem units, and the odd scan from Spybot, AVG v8 and Lavasofts Adaware, and a bit of common sense, and you should be OK. I used to have Norton but it's bloated to the point that it would slow down my system at times so I binned it. Another tip I've been told about, not sure if it works but makes sense, is to run your scans with your PC in Safe Mode. I've seen Norton find stuff but then not being able to remove it due to the program with the problem in, up and already running. Safe Mode starts only the essentail basic programs so it's supposedly better for Norton to remove nasty stuff. I guess the same applies with any program you use to remove undesirable stuff from your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chorlton Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sorry, but really bad advice. Everyone is perfectly entitled to give their view. Just because it's not the same as yours may be does not make it bad. I too use AVG free with daily update, adaware SE and spybot and have had no problems on the laprtop I'm using since bought in 2006 not my main PC since it was bought in 2005. Now it may be down to luck or the fact i don't visit dodge sites I don't know but it works for me so I'd happily advise it to others. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubit Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I've been using avg free edition with free updates AVG on Download.comfor about the last 5 years. Why paid for anti-virus when a good one is available free On the work machine Stu?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
