    Anti-virus/spyware
    « on: February 09, 2009, 07:48:49 PM »
    Hello all,

    I just have a few question regarding Anti-virus programs.  I am currently using AVG 8.0.  My question is, being that this is a free program, does it do as good a job as one that can be purchased?  Secondy,  I am running several spyware programs......AD-aware, Spybot Search & Destroy, Spyware Blaster, Super Anti-Spyware.  Is there such thing as overkill when it comes to Spyware programs?

    I am just a bit concerned about viruses/spyware..........ever since I updated to Firefox 3.0.6, my computer has come to a screeching halt as far as speed.

    Thanks,

    Jim

      It is always good to buy an Anti-Virus programs as free anti-virus is not that much effective. I was using it but thanks to my friend who told me about iYogi Technician who installed it for me.
