Rob W 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 why don't you want to pay? I'd have thought your pc and internet was important enough to shell out a few quid................................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to www.antivirus.com regularly to scan my computer for free but I'd only recommend that if you're fairly virus-savvy; there is a free product called AVG which I've seen a few people recommend.

Good idea with the spyware stuff. 106122[/snapback] I've been using spybot, zone alarm, mailwasher and Anti Vir for ages, the anti vir picked up a two trojans, one my daughter let through -- aaah she's young...but the other one I stopped. I am not sure if the new version of anti-vir is going to change into a pay system soon, the download suggest it may be so. If it does, then I will change over to AVG, which supposedly clashes with mailwasher but if it does then I will rely on AVG to scan e-mails, because I get a lot.
