I have a plan. How many large mirrors do you have at home?

Actually, anything below 999 is seriously sucky.

The boss and I and about 6 computers need the best new virus protection (or firewall if that's good enough these days?)

Anyway, we were using Zone Alarm and seems I've heard (and expierienced) it sucks now. Like they did well for a bit and got happy and gave up.

That seems what happened with McCafee and Norton.

Now the boss says he was told Norton is strong...

Well, anyway... Plx Advice Best Idear.

Do you do word searches as well?

Sounds like you want something for your business. If you have Servers with those compy's you'll want something able to handle a network.

Mcafee is the standard for most government offices in Canada.

If you just have personal computers the new Norton 360 is good and has a decent firewall.

If you just want basic protection AVAST and the new AVG are good but also use Malwarebytes to scan for any Malware missed.

Thanx uzless. I don't know where all these other users get off RUINING my thread, but you gave me the answer I needed. I have now got it running on all my computers and may even notice my computer doesn't 'freeze up' every so often any more.

The AVG got one virus cleared up as well as tons of cookies... the Malware also did a nice job of getting rid of some junk.

Thanx again, you are a TRUE AMERICAN HERO.

np.

Malwarebytes is really good about doing updates (usually come out every day with a new update ) so make sure you update it before you scan again.

I don't see Malwarebytes in my task bar... is it running now?

Does it auto update?

doesn't run in the task bar and you need to just click the "update now" button on one of the menus.

It is strictly a scanner. Not a resident shield. But the AVG has one so you should be covered for most things.

FYI: Not everything running in the background necessarily has an icon in the task bar.
