Me too. My whole family does. I agree with my son - if anyone is going to be "attacked" by a virus, it's going to be Norton or McAfee. AVG works great. When we used Norton, everytime we got close to renewal time we would suddenly start to get viruses which we believe were harmless ones sent by the company themselves just to make sure we didn't let up on our coverage.I tried a couple of versions of Norton over the last many years, in my opinion they were horrible.
I stickwith AVG for antivirus.
I've used the free version of A.V.G. for years, seem to keep the critters away. Mind you my computer is past due to go in for cleaning and tune up. It's impossibly slow- can't believe it was state of the art in 2003.
I was using AVG - until they played the muggs game and said the freebie was being discontinued. I have used Norton too. Both slowed ol' FRED down. Now,I'm on Avast and it doesn't slow things as much. That update guy and the warning siren are a bit un-nerving sometimes.
I bought mine in 2003 as well and it is not slow at all (it does take a fair bit of time to boot up in the morning though). Maybe your RAM is too low. When you take it for cleaning, ask him to put in more RAM. That may speed it up.
It's seven years old JLM. I'd be seriously thinking about getting a new one.Yep, I'll see what the computer geek has to say, I've been mulling over the possibility of buying a new one, but we'll see.

Do you think I could handle the technology? I'm still in the mode where I'm getting used to having the dimmer switch on the steering column. :lol::lol::lol:
Geez, my computer must be reallly outdated - it doesn't have a steering column or a dimmer switch! :lol::lol::lol:
We are going to look into the Kapersky one, I think. We started with MacAfee and went to Norton and then to some other thing. Norton and MacAfee sucked. Now we use the full AVG security suite and it's pretty good but pc is getting slow. I don't know which of these doodads is slowing things down but it's starting to get annoying. Maybe we'll wait till AVG subscription runs out. lol $80 US for Kaspersky's security suite.
Last time I had my computer overhauled, the woman recommended Kapersky but when I tried to down load it they wanted money so I said (to myself) *&$@ them. :lol::lol:
lol Like Countryboy - I was wondering about the dimmer switch!!! I'm sure you'll do just fine. Really - what's the point in putting a new transmission into the old one? There is a time when you have to give in and you might as well do it rather than put out money on the old one and then have to do it again in a couple of years. When I worked for the Chiropractor (Doug Smith if you need one as he's great), he would not spend money on up grades and it was really a drag (literally).Do you think I could handle the technology?
