@roamer_1
What do you recommend?
Ok,since I now plan on deleting Norton if I hear what I expect to hear from them,what anti-virus programs do you all recommend?
Please keep in mind that I am not a computer pro,and I am on a limited budget.
@sneakypete Basically... Nothing. If you ain't high risk, going to porn sites or hacker sites, or un-reputable movie sites, AND YOU ARE CONSISTENTLY BEHIND A ROUTER, and not at public sites, you're probably alright with Microsoft's onboard AV and firewall.
This box I am on seldom leaves this house, and I have *NO* added security features beyond the stock Windows stuff... It has never had a virus in years, and I can back that up, because I keep Emsisoft's EEK Emergency kit onboard as a secondary system and check it frequently.
Now, if you don't want to play nice...
The king is still Kaspersky IMHO. But just their AV... If you get the full suite it's a fat pig.
Eset's NOD is top shelf.
Either of those if you are high risk.
Sophos is super too - and free. It is an end-point rig, so not a lot of controls in your box... you have to go online to do all that... But it is good. really good.
My house is Kaspersky on the operational boxen... All the stuff that might come in contact with boxes coming across my bench...
The rest of it, all the business stuff and media stuff is (paid) Sophos.
