Re: Anti Virus Software...

Hello,
I can tell you now that I would not recommend Norton at all. This is for two 
reasons. If you don't have an extremely fast computer, you'll find that Norton 
greatly uses up your speed and system resources.  Also, when Norton finds a 
virus, it pauses all of your applications until you decide what to do, meaning 
you can't use JAWS to find out what's going on.
I didn't know AVG may be charging for their anti-virus software soon, but in 
the meantime I use it and it's extremely fast and reliable in my opinion.

  Hi, it's me again, I'm afraid!

  Sorted the issue of Firewalls, thanks everyone.

  Now, Anti-Virus...

  I have been using AVG's free version but that's well out of date, although
  I've kept the virus definitions up to date.

  I'm looking for suggestions as I've heard that AVG will soon be charging for
  the service.

  I've got no problem about paying for a decent product but didn't see the
  need to pay for what was available for free up to now!

  Anyone got any suggestions for good Anti-Virus?  I've heard lots of views
  over the years about Norton but they seem to have varied somewhat, not sure
  if that's to do with systems or with the different versions of Norton.

  What are the suggestions for good JFW friendly Anti-Virus software?
