andyman Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I reformatted my computer on the weekend, and am now in need of some decent anti virus software so I dont have to do it again.If it helps, I have a Dell notebook, running Windows Vista.Thanks!

awesome88 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 i rekon if you get norton or mcafee you can't go wrong. I've got mcafee and haven't had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupe Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 AVGIt's what I've used for the last few years.Great free versionhttp://free.avg.com/au-en/homepage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggssell Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 theres this one called a mac ive used trend micro for about 10 years and have only ever had one virus about 8 years ago which was my fault because trendmicro warned me and i said ignore. but yeah 8 years clean on 2 different machines, and i never play it safe and go whereever i want.EDIT: oh its not free, but they usually give you something with your first purchase like a thumb drive, and then it aint much each year. and as above id rather never having to reformat or get all these nasties you read about.
