Norton or what?
- Thread starter Goober
- Start date
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.
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 believe you can disable the sounds, I never bothered though. I use Avast and I find it's done a far better job than Norton ever did on my old computer.
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:
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).
Yes, and the Scot in me loves the fact that you can get a lot more computer today for much less money than in 2003. It's a bonnie fine thing!
Not a Norton fan at all. For free use AVG, AVAST or download Microsoft security suite. Best paid one is F-secure.
I'm one of those stubborn old buggers (and thick) , who even after an idea makes perfect sense, it takes me awhile to accept it. There's a word for that and damned if I can think of it right now.
My old pickup has it on the floor, but I've had to modernize myself to drive the wife's fancy smancy car.
Right, so antivirus needs to have a dollar figure attached to it in order for it to be dependable? You obviously are a schmuck.
