Do we all use Norton, or is that old-school?

I’ve used Norton but it always seems to slow down my comp. I just risk it. *knocks on wood*

AVG Anti Virus

FREE

and better than any other anti virus you can find

updates virus definitions everyday

barely a resource hog like norton and mcafee

checks incoming and outgoing email on outlook and certifies it in the signature

did i mention free?

AVG is the Mac OS of the Anti-Virus world (minus the looks)

It does all the same stuff as Norton Anti-Virus

Uses less resources

And since less people have it, no one is looking for holes to exploit

Wow, its just like Mac OS to Windows

For the record, I am still a Windows user despite my comments above.

I like AVG too
