Re: Pc Troubles
Trust me, you don't know bad until you've got a VIRIUS....
And I've lost my virius software, so I'm stuck with a computer that's malfucntioning. I've usually got to restart my computer 3 times before I can use it for 5 hours before it messes up again.... Then I go though the same process....

Re: Pc Troubles
AVG kicks ass... it uses only 2 megs of ram, thats LESS THAN MSN MESSANGER. It works well, and it does daily automatic FULL SYSTEM scans at 2 AM if you leave your computer on overnight.

AVG antivirus - http://www.grisoft.com
free and catches all viruses.
AVG catches sod all. I was using it for ages, and then my PC started playing up majorly and it found a couple of viruses but wouldn't remove them properly. I went out and bought McAfee and installed it, ran it and it detected about 6 other viruses that AVG hadn't picked up and managed to clear my system.
i watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor.
that's my dream, that's my nightmare.
crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving.

Re: Pc Troubles
maybe you didnt do program and virus updates... it works perfectly for me and yea, NOT EVERY VIRUS WILL BE DETECTED BY AVG...
nor any other antivirus program. Unless you run all 6 of the major AV products at 1 time, you will miss some here and there. Even if you run all 6, you still arent fully protected... I used to make disaterous viruses too, so i know that they can mutate after being active for some time. PC Cillin is a good one too, but u have to buy it if it doesnt come with your computer.. AVG is just plain old free

I'm perfectly competent when it comes to computers, thank you. I was simply saying that it was useless for me, but then you can't expect perfection when you're not paying anything for it.

Depends on your PC spec and hard drive size. It takes about twenty minutes to scan my 120 gig harddrive.
