So I bought a new laptop and it came with vista, according to the people at High Tech in the sub the Norton e-raider is not compatible with vista. So do y'all have any recommendations on a software to use/ (i prefer free)
thanks for the help ps i hate vista, its just a glamorous looking xp, but i'll save that rant for another thread |

oh yeah, and download/crack Kaspersky. it consistently gets rated the highest for definitions, unobtrusiveness and whatnot. I think aol even has a version of it the rebranded for free, but fuck that.

QUOTE (Overlord @ Apr 20 2007, 11:41 AM)  since i work for mcafee, i say get mcafee virus scanner (not free though) I didn't know that. Wasn't Mcafee the company that decided that it would omit government programs(viruses) from their anti-virus searches? -------------------- Beers that I have had, updated July 5th, 2009: 1,548

I just use that free TrendMicro virus scan online. It scans for viruses, malware, spyware, adware, and other stuff. Its not preventative, but it sure does do the trick when I think something goofy is on my computer. |

My parents had McAfee back like 3 or 4 years ago and they had to call McAfee's 900 number at like $2 a minute to get the software removed from their computer. |
