Virus scanners
I was wondering what everyone thought the best ones are. I'm running McAfee & I use the cleaner. |

Re: Virus scanners
I haven't used a scanner in quite some time, I reformat too often to be bothered, however, when I did use one I used the McAfee. My friends were all amped up on Norton, and kept getting fatal exception errors on Win98 because of it, they have since changed to McAfee. Peace, BROM |

Re: Virus scanners
I run Norton Gold, and it's done very well in keeping out possible virii. Admittedly it's only ever caught a few, mostly because I don't download from h/p/v/a/c sites, but it's still good when I do a mass "audit" on my HDD [virus scan, scandisk, defrag], sometimes picking up something I've missed.I've only ever had one problem with it, and that was only due to a buggy update. Norton has never crashed my system otherwise. |
