My antivirus subscription is ending in two weeks and I am not sure whether I should continue with Norton or switch to McAfee.
I am annoyed with Norton because it cannot get rid of Gator adware and some types of threats that come with browsing naughty sites. Also when I first installed it, it caused havoc with my laptop and I had to reload it but Norton said I had to pay up again because you were only allowed to load the programme once! I didn't pay but I spent quite a long time on the phone trying to get support.
Is McAfee any better, I wonder? What are people's experiences using these two programmes?
Sorry, couldn't resist posting that,
OK, serious post this time.
The link below is to a page maintained by a techie type person on the ebay chat forums.
There is all sorts of stuff in there from Anti-virus to spyware cleaners.
She is the person we all turn to for this kind of stuff.
Yoy could try AVG, its free and can be downloaded form the Internet. Try this link
Think I also saw a full version of it on one of the front covers of a computing magazine!!
Hope this helps!
I used to have Norton but dumped it in favour of a free firewall, free spyware programme and NOD32 anti-virus. It might sound a bit more complicated but Norton and its competitors are too expensive in my view.
Norton isn't going to solve your Gator problem so you should delete it and other nasties with Spybot Search & Destroy which is free or Ad-Aware which is also free or Spy Sweeper which is free for 30 days . You can get a free firewall from Sygate . With that you then just need an anti-virus programme and I use NOD32 @ £23 a year .
