dirk45 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 So umm people, a few hundred or thousand posts back somebody, (probably Thor.) recommended virus scan software when I was complaining about McAfee. Well, now McAfee has screwed the pooch too many times. I'm going to light my McAfee backup disc on fire and fling it into a bottomless pit, screaming in rage, so I'm going to need new anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall security junk. Any suggestions?

Iv000 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials. Personally I recommend Avast, free, efficient, easy to use, updates regularly, big virus database. Never tried MSE, but I heard it's one of the best ones too.Been using Avast for years now and my PC is as clean as it can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volsfan8076 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 There seem to be several free anti-virus alternatives now. Wasn't too long ago that you had to pay for any of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Evening Naomis :biggrin: And yeah, paying for a subscription based anti-virus seems foolish now imo. The free edition of Avast is totally enough, you can upgrade it to Pro so you get additional functions and you support the devs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk45 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks, lv000. Microsoft Security Essentials already found something McAssFee missed for god knows how long. You'd think something you pay for would be better than free stuff but that isn't really the case with this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K00L Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Lol, so I guess you're the taxi service? :PAnd yes, be jealous. This is what I've been doing for the past few hours. I bought tons of red dye, then I decided brown looks better. I also OCD'd over the dyeing system today.Btw the image is heavily post-processed, I played with blur and shadows/highlights a bit. I can also see that I have AA turned off :/I see you have new armor. :PYup I'm a taxi service! And what do I get? A hug. I WANT ONE of what KOOLs got! http://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/rolleyes.gifWhat? A birthday to go to or a crap load of driving to do? :P So umm people, a few hundred or thousand posts back somebody, (probably Thor.) recommended virus scan software when I was complaining about McAfee.

Especially so for being free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naomis8329 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Don't bother with Facebook its a total crock of s*** They've blocked my account and I've had to set up a new one. I've lost all my friends that I've gathered from all over the world over the past 5 years and Facebook want me to scan and send a copy of my passport, marriage or birth certificate as proof of who I am. All this after my account got hacked, my email got hacked and all my precious emails deleted from my family all over the world... I'm so upset and they just add insult to injury. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
