FREE...alternative very good AntiVirus Program

[XMEN Iceman]

This program is becoming the geek rage at my work. <br>It is a free Antivirus program called AVG from www.grisoft.com<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php" target="top">AVG AntiVirus</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>I just installed it on my mothers computer because I am having so many issues getting older versions cleaned out of the registry to install a new version of Norton that I have had enough. So I tried this. So far I am very impressed. Automatic free updates, etc.<br><br>Go try it out, it started out in the Linux community and it now available for Windows.<br><br> <p><table border=0><tr><td><embed align=left src=http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#000000 width=217 height=166 type=application/x-shockwave-flash pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border=0 style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>You weren't much of a challenge - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i></i>

is it better then the trendmicro free scan? I very rarely get viruses, expecially on this home computer. The one at school is portected by norton, but this home computer is old (P3 600 256ram and a voodoo3 3000) so I am unwilling to spend money on it especially when I have a really fast computer at school.<br><br>Anyways my point is, I have had little experience with viruses so I don't know what works well and what doesn't. I am also unwilling to put my system at risk on purpose just to test antivirus software. (It may be an old machine but it still works) <p></p><i></i>

Hey, thanks for reminding me, Iceman! I don'ot mean to burst your bubble on it's 'newness', but I was using it two years ago. I'd totally forgotten about it with my new computer, though! Ur-thanks for the link! <p></p><i></i>

You know, I think I might've, years ago. I thought everyone knew about it.<br><br>Besides, "no one asked". I have a ton of secret info, and I just don't know who'd be interested in what. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

[Spinning Hat]

Well, as an XMEN, you're required to divulge any and all secret information your Mind has accumulated since before our implantation of the XMEN Mind Control Device. We're fairly confident that we've extracted most information from you after that, but we're still trying to build complete histories of our membership, and insert all that knowledge and memories into clones that we've made of each and every one of you....<br><br><br>Damn, I said too much! DOH! <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Never, Never, Never Quit"</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> -Winston Churchill</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

[RedSirus]

Well, I know that "Gambit wets his bed."<br><br>Really, guys, don't you remember? You didn't use the mind-control device on me. I joined while it was under repairs. Really freaked out Ice and Porsche, though - didn't they freak out when they saw someone join of their own free will? Porsche jumped off that dam, and it took us a week to find him running with the animals in "I LUV THE WOLFMAN" boxers. <p></p><i></i>

[XMEN Gambit]

We just leaked the story of the device being broken. It wasn't. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif ALT=":evil"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Actually, Iceman thought it was, but it was just a case of weak batteries. I think Porsche jumped off the dam because we tested the new ones on him, but I'm having trouble remembering. I think I was standing too close to it when we put 'em in. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
