Hello can anyone advise me as to which anti virus I could download - that is compatible with AOL. I initially installed Norton - had loads of problems and I was told by a call centre op. that it's not compatable. So I downloaded McAfee via AOL - but now have found out that AOL no longer have a contract with them. I have tried to renew my details direct - but am not able to complete the links. Can anyone help please?

Use the MCAFEE REMOVAL TOOL
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507
Use the Norton removal tool
http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
***USE THE REMOVAL TOOLS AS BITS ALWAYS GET LEFT BEHIND WITH A NORMAL UNINSTALL***
Download AVIRA ANTI VIRUS PERSONAL (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/
(This is for now whilst we determine whats on your computer)
Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
(do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)

AVG works fine with AOL, I've been using it for some years and not had any issues with it.0

Zone alarm has been working fine for me for 3 years now.0

OP: I'm having the same problem. Been on the phone to AOL and McAfee and get as far as the purchasing page and keep getting a variety on reasons why I can't go no further e.g. try alternative card, please fill all manditory boxes...
Have decided to look for another Virus protection provider as I have had it up here with them.0 -
Use Avira as Rik suggested Norton, Mcafee and AVG are not so good.0
