Default AVG Pro 7.0.250 & Ad-aware 6.0.1.183

I've been using Norton AV and I came across AVG, so I installed along with Norton, as they do co-exist.

To my surprise as Norton was scanning my computer it passed a virused file without any action, when AVG jumped up and caught it?

What is nice about AVG, are the nice and easy updates.

So I started to use AVG from there on, and I added to that Ad-aware with activated Ad-watch of it.

What does Ad-awre do, is it scans the registry for any virus registry and it removes it (with your discretion). With Ad-watch activated it blocks any attempts of registry modification without your discretion.

I've been so happy with this combination ever since.

I used Symantec Norton Anti-Virus for a while, it bugged me too much so I switched to just plain old Symantec Anti-Virus Corporate. Works all good man.

i have to agree with you 100% :P

Today it caught a virus! yipee! now i know for sure that the newer version of the ftp app i had was a virus. the program was constantly trying to run the virus, but norton blocked it every time until i closed it... (like it attempted to run 800 times before i closed the harmful program.

and boy, it doesn't get in the way like norton does. it just sits in the corner, does everyting perfectly. I don't even notice it unless i want to do a system scan. :wink: :D

there's my praise for it :-) now go get Symantec Corporate!

As for free virus scanners? I don't really know. :(

hmm... Nothing Cost Money, sounds like a good AntiVirus app :D :wink:

Hehe this reminds me of how people go into stores, take box of some game and then go to the bathroom, copy down the CD key, and return the box. It's how thing should be done for free Battle.Net CD keys, assuming they dont make it a pay-for service :x
