i tried to use free avg but it does not catch hold of viruses. i think i have tried many of them but no one does help can u suggest some proper antivirus to protect my computer saurabhthelord

Opinions vary, but I say the better ones are not free. I'd go with Norton/Symantec. Life's more painless for the brainless.

It is the signatures that ensure virus "catching." Without up-to-date virus definitions, your AV program won't catch hold of viruses & it doesn't matter who the program is from. Jabbering Idiots: Everywhere You Look!

i just upadated it every time i started my pc saurabhthelord

saurabhthelord, NOD32 is another good AV program. Technology Bytes Plus http://learnitfast.blogspot.com

Hi, Stay away from norton or mcaffee unless you have a beefy system. I use Avast! and I find it very good at catching anything that comes it's way. Best of all it's free. I was always under the opinion that free meant bad until I tried this product and I must admit it's changed my mind. To all the norton/mcaffee users out there im sorry to be negative about the products but when it's installed it becomes a major resource hog and from past experience I have found that after removal of the product then installation of Avast a lot of viruses are found that the others missed plus it also finds spyware. Download it here :- http://www.avast.com Product needs registering to get your code but its free and painless :-) hth scott Unknown has caused an error in unknown and unknown needs to restart.

I used Norton way back (!) in 1996 on a P75 with 32MB of RAM. Never had a problem. Life's more painless for the brainless.
