[QUOTE="40mpgH8r, post: 12852326, member: 148096"] I'm earning my degree towards IT and I work on computers every day for the past 6 years so I don't know EVERYTHING but I can just tell you what I've seen. There is no BEST AV. The company I work for I've seen the same amount of computers infected with something whether it has FREE AV or a PAID Subscription AV. YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF AV THOUGH. Basically if you get on the internet you're almost guaranteed to get a virus. Ha. I'm tired of the, "But I paid for Kaspersky" (Just using them as an example). These viruses are coming out hour on the hour. Update your chit. 1. Keep everything up to date. AV, Java, Flash, Reader and Windows Updates. DON'T RELY ON AUTO UPDATES. If I was an ***hole I would right a program to disable all your auto updates. I've seen a lot of computers come in a week later from installing an AV and it's been removed by a virus. Make sure your AV is still installed on your PC! 2. Macs don't get as many viruses BUT THEY STILL GET SOME. 3. Backup your stuff you can't live without in case your computer does wig out on you. Maybe once a week? 4. Porn sites, Limewire, Frostwire downloads be careful. There are a lot of free viruses here. Same with the websites kids download these games from, because kids are stupid and download anything. If your kid doesn't, then great! Haha. ^^Absolutely agree ^^Yes, Webroot SA is perfect for computers if you're worried about resources. I install it on almost every XP machine I see. Haha. ^^I have McAfee and I haven't had any issues. My McAfee has caught some viruses and then I have also caught some viruses it missed but I wouldn't say "Stay away from it". I think it comes down to personal preference here because I say the same about Norton. Only because their software has kept me from accessing the internet way back in the day. I'm sure they've fixed it, though. ^^Same issue with my mom. Haha. Just make sure you stay up to date with Java, Reader, Windows Updates and Flash. I'm tire of hearing people cry that something doesn't work. It's usually easily fixed with the most up to date version. Yes, 15 tool bars, BAD!. [/QUOTE]
