OT - Anti-virus

[barrystronge]

Can anyone recommend a good anti-virus software provider? I had to replace Zonealarm because it kept deleting my Sibelius program file, finding a virus there which simply did not exist. I chose AVG which has been OK until now but I am finding it impossible to download and install the program on renewal of my licence and the support team is uncontactable (hours wasted listening to endless music on the telephone). Any suggestions gratefully received.

I am running Norton at the moment and it seems to work in the background well Barry.

This is a good free one.

I use McAfee with no complaints.

Bullguard - much cheaper than many, outstanding worldwide 24 hour realtime support pages with real people at the other end, checks for updates every twenty minutes or so, runs seamlessly in the background, includes all the bells and whistles (back-ups, antivirus, antispyware, firewall etc). I fink dey are fab!

Thank you all for the info.

I installed BullGuard trial version with no difficulty and ran a first scan. The procedure was most user-friendly. I must now find out how to schedule scans.

AVG is free, I've been using it a good 5 years with no issues. Joseph

Just enable the on-access scanner, Barry, and it will do it automatically as you go.
