When you pause to take a breath, add some punctuation while typing!

Dont pay a penny IMO there is no need good quality free software is available that often does the job just as well if not better.

AVG
Avira
Avast

I will never recommend a Norton or Mcaffee product not worth the money and not even worth it when you get given a freebie by them either as far as im concerned.

Don't install more than 1 antivirus at a time otherwise it can cause problems

You obviously do as well as some glasses as that is not my user name!

I've used Avast, AVG and Avira. All have their good and bad points. Any one is better than nothing.

It's more a case of making it easier to read so there's less chance of ambiguity, misinference and misinterpretation.

Been running AVG and Avast this afternoon. Avast came up with a message this afternoon saying about a Trojan treat but it couldnt delete it or move it to the vault or chest whatever it states! The Trojan details are

Win32Vundo@dll(tn)

Trojan Horse

And when i start up the laptop or restart it as soon as it loads up on the windows main screen page it comes up with boxes saying something along the lines of, 'Dll couldnt load up' in an error box and before i did some scans i think at least 100 of those boxes had come up.
