Hi everyone,
I've give my old pc to my new father in law is it's faster and more modern than the machine they're using at the moment. For reasons I forget my pc has Norton for my anti virus / firewall type needs. I was wondering if some kind soul could suggest the best free internet safely applications out there so I could collect them together for them to install.
Thanking muchly in advance
Michael

Seek a little through the General Chat archive, you´ll find loads of threads that reply..
Antivir Personal edition used to do a good job for me.
Better idea: Get Linux!
James Blast suggests: Get a Mac!

My system works flawless with...
1. Lavasoft AdAware
2. AVG Antivirus
3. ToniArts EasyCleaner
And ONLY those...
Oh, and Firefox, although it tends to freeze a LOT the last couple of weeks...

Heard that the AVG is rather good.
Myself I use Norton because Symantec is my employer

And do you write viruses for them?
Me, I use a standard AVG/ZoneLabs/AdAware setup. I'm tempted to use a live Linux for all browsing needs, shut down the network on my Windows installation, and not even bother with a lot of that malarkey - PuppyLinux quite tickles my fancy (cos I like dogs), if I can get it to play nicely with the rest of my kit.
