[Fists] Email Viruses

Sun, 21 Sep 2003 10:53:08 -0500

I used AVG for a little bit but here is where Norton's anti-virus saved me
When I was surfing the web a website had a worm in it and tried to infect my
PC
But Norton's quarantined it automatically. I know AVG does a good job at
email
Virus's but I believe Norton's creates an overall better protection for your
PC
Plus it automatically updates itself. I purchased Norton's for about $35 and
That includes updates for 1 year

AVG can be found at

Norton's anti-virus software is made by Symantec Systems

AVG is free, and I suppose you get what you pay for, but for a tightwad
like me, it's far better than nothing.  It's got me out of trouble a few
times in the four years I've been using it.
I think that a lot of the trouble is caused by large numbers of people
who trust in luck and run no protection, so when a mailworm gets loose
it spreads like a forest fire between millions of barefoot machines
first, then attacks us.

So AVG may not be as good as some of the subscription systems, but it is
definitely the best of the free ones, and I would promote it as the
"essential minimum protection" for anybody even considering connecting
to the internet.
