    Trouble installing antivirus program
    « on: October 19, 2007, 10:36:11 PM »
    I have  a windows xp ., and recently switched internet service to att/yahoo and
    when trying to download the antivirus protection online(from same internet provider )  I get to the install page.  it jumps to a window where it says: unable to navigate the webpage.  I am conected to the internet, I have checked all connections., and last two times I tried to correct the problem with tech.support , I guess they do not have an idea since they have not been able to help me so far. I know I can buy it , but since is free with the package .  I did have norton before but I made sure I uninstalled it before trying to install the yahoo software.

    A better solution:

    Anti-Virus
    AVG Free
    Avast

    Choose only one.
    Then add the following:

    Spybot Search and Destroy

    AdAware

    AVG Anti-Spyware

    CCleaner.

    You will now have a well rounded protection package that will perform better than most ISP packages without being a hog on System Resources...

    Best of all it's all FREE.

    But you have to update and run scans regularly for it to be effective.

    Good Luck.

      Excellent news.
      I have found most packages that ISP's offer contain a lot of bloat and unneccessary fluff...
      I prefer my tools to do just what they were written to do.

      Remember to update and scan regularly and you should have no issues at all...
