Anti virus ware question

[wja19512003]

I am now using gris soft avg free virus ware because of my budget but they are going to start charging for it. I wondered if there was something out for free or real low virus ware if anyone know s of any and tell me your experience with virus ware.

They're going to charge? :(

Well that is a load of crap! :foottap:

Sorry. I wish I knew of something. If ... oh wait .. check the freebie threads. There was one for a year free of anti-virus. I will see if I can find and bump up. :)

I do know of another free virus ware but I have to look it up in my mail as I saved it there but I will come back and post it for us all okay. They won't do away with avg until Jan 2007

I loaded this yesterday and my puter is not the same...it's slower and my messanger doesn't work correctly anymore. It takes 20 minutes just to get to my desktop screen....any fix for all that? I ended up doing a system restore and uninstalled the AVG 7.1 , now I cannot use my messanger at all, it stops, doesn't respond, and boots me off if I get it to work for even a minute............ it's slow loading still but at least I can get to sites in less than 5 minutes instead of the 10-15 it was taking while the AVG was running.
:cryhard:
I should not have tried it...my puter might be ruined now.
:cryhard:

Let's see...I did a system restore, disc clean-up, check if it needed defragmented, cleaned out temp files, desk top clean up, checked my firewall, checked cookie handling, security settings, etc.
Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

[Khorse]

I fixed it...it's not a super slow turtle now, back to my normal turtle mode!
Yeeee Hawwww!!! :)

What was the problem Kim? I have used avg for awhile now and it hasn't done anything to my computers

[Khorse]

I just typed a bunch of stuff...it didn't send the reply. I might have problems still.
