    Norton and Mcaffee have done this from the beginning
    as well as track your user history.

    Your system IS NOT YOUR SYSTEM if you run these products,argue this all you want.

    Why would anyone "PAY" for a Home Invasion ?:rolleyes:

    What operating system are you using? If your using XP then there are only two anti viruses licensed by Microsoft Mcaffe and Nortons everything else is considered spyware/malware and doesnt do shit, Nortons Internet security is not a system "hog" im sure collectively all the programs your using to do the same job probably triple the space nortons would take up, I've been working with computers as a tech for about 4-5 years and trust me theres nothing else you can use on xp. :cool:

    AVG Home Edition 65.39mb
    CCleaner 3.14mb
    Malwarebytes 3.86mb

    Nortons Internet Security requires 200Mb of free space!

    Thank You Please Drive Thru :p

    This is what we use. Trend Micro.

    TNK- What's up with Trend Micro, in your opinion?

    I have some trojans on my computer that I can't get rid of.

    TM is standard issue on all Dell Systems
    The Trojans that are flagged are most likely"Trojan Signatures" they "LOOK" like but aren't.

    Those little 113.8 type "updates" are actually data recovery and or your browsing history they just snatched from your computer.:mad:

    Shut your TM down and load AVG,Malwarebytes and CCLeaner.
    Run all 3 thru full scans,pay attention to your Malwarebytes scan data,take note of how many Trend Micro references there are.
    (Been awhile since I cleaned TM out of this lap-top)

    Then open your Trend Micro and run a full scan,post your results.........wonder where the Trojans went?:eek:

    The ones you see now can be searched thru google for verification,just copy the sig and paste it to a search engine box.

    ;)

    I agree with the use of these 3. Together they are enough to keep your computer running in great shape. I use AdAware instead of Avast though. Nothing can take place of smart computing, you might have the best security system known to man but if you leave all of your doors and windows wide open then its useless. Make sure to stay away from shady websites and if you do happen to visit a p0rn site then make sure it is a reputable site and not a shady "free" setup. It is also a very good idea not to run your computer as an Administrator as this gives many programs permission to do whatever they want.

    Uh oh....

    For 1/3 the price, you can get all the best anti-virus software and not go to porn sites and never have a problem. :cool:

    I'd like to have a Mac, I grew up on them, but they aren't priced reasonably for recreational use.

    Just ran all three. They did pick up a lot that were overlooked, but it bogged down my system really bad and wouldn't let me connect to the internet. Once it did, it took forever for things to load. I uninstalled all of them and things are running smoothly again. I'll probably reinstall the ccleaner and malwarebytes, though. I've had them before.

    if you didn't uninstall your previous av it will be very slow, its like two ppl trying to drive the same car.

    you need to uninstall your previous anti virus software before installing other anti virus programs.

    Here's what I use: Avira antivirus, Spybot Search and Destroy, Hijackthis (Trend Micro) and I also use Wise Registry cleaner, a very good program to have. I like the Hijackthis because there is always something not picked up as malware by the other programs, and with that program you can take a snapshot of all processes running in the background and post the results on a forum where they will tell you what needs to be deleted, and how to do it without screwing things up worse.
