[Ham-Computers] Anti Virus Programs

Sat, 4 Jan 2003 11:48:17 -0500

I thought the AVG program was terrific until I found that there was no email
protection afforded when using MS Outlook Explorer 5 or 6 nor had they any
plans of integrating it.  I think it cost me 20 bucks  (after rebates) for a
new version of Norton Systems 2003 with anti-virus and Ghost. Norton
Anti-virus, combined with ZoneAlarm (Pro) firewall has never missed a virus,
worm or any malicious code, while AVG let EVERY attached virus thru in
Outlook. Since I prefer Outlook over Netscape et al, I cannot use AVG.
Simply pointing that fact out may have some think twice. JMHO.
