S.C.G Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Ok so Norton is officially pissing me off now, it used to work fine but ever since it told me that there was a new version available and I downloaded it, it hasn't been the same, not the same features and it allowed stuff to get in which it wouldn't have before, for instance I now have an unknown dialler apperently attached to a file in program files which it tells me it can't get rid of... great, tell me theres a problem and then say you can't do anything about it >< Thanks Norton... So yeah, I'm fed up with it now and I'd like to get either an all in one Firewall / antivirus program etc or a combination of two seperate programs that are both free (fed of of paying for crap software) and that are reliable, oh and if they can get rid of that dialler that Norton allowed that would be awesome too, Thanks.

McPhee Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 As above ^ Or, if you need better security then Kaspersky. You have to pay for it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G1mb01a Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 if you dont wanna pay for it...

Cube Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 On a slight note. Would it be worth it installing my free copy of McAfee? (I'm currently using AVG Free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 On a slight note. Would it be worth it installing my free copy of McAfee? (I'm currently using AVG Free) Nope, McAfee offers worse protection than AVG Free. A computer mag did a study a while back and compared 20 AV programs. AVG Free came 5th (payed version 4th) whereas McAfee came something like 18th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Believe it or not, the majority of your free stuff (avast, avg, zonealarm) is leagues better than your payed for content (mcafee, norton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
