Dazza290 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good anti-virus software for my PC. Im after one that is good for keeping the bugs out but is also easy to turn off when I need to go racing online. thanks in advance Dazza
Allan268 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 You don't need to turn it off when you go racing? I use AVG Free and i use Norton Personal Firewall.
The London Allstar Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 I have to turn mine off when i go racing, even tho everything to do with nascar heat has full connection allowance
Dennis Jacobs Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 I use G-Data Antivirus, VERY powerful. It's easy to turn off when you go racing. If you use it for the first time it's a bit anoying tho, it has to learn every outgoing connection to the internet. That means it won't let you on any website the first time. it checks every connection and asks you if it is allowed to connect, once the program nows these paths it's very easy to use. It comes with anti spam, webfilter, firewall and childlock. The only wierd thing it has is that it gives a message from time to time regarding mIRC. It doesn't like that program for some reason. If someone nows more about that, tell me. I could use some advice on that. I will post a screeny if i encounter it again.
Dennis Jacobs Posted September 27, 2006 Report Posted September 27, 2006 Here is the message from my antivirus program, (I had to translate some words from cloggy to english, sentences could be wrong.) whilst opening the file "C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.exe" the virus "not-a-virus:Client-IRC.Win32.mIRC.614" of the engine "KAV" was discovered. file cleaned: No. file removed: No. file isolated: No.
jamesy Posted September 30, 2006 Report Posted September 30, 2006 i use mcafree never had a problem yet and i dont have to turn my firewall off to race either
martwisely Posted September 30, 2006 Report Posted September 30, 2006 i use mcafree never had a problem yet and i dont have to turn my firewall off to race either Same here
MoR137 Posted September 30, 2006 Report Posted September 30, 2006 I use a combination of AVG 7.1 professional (though AVG Free is good aswell) and Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall. Dead quick and easy to confiure and also to turn off when racing, pretty cheap (about 30 quid for for a years subscription to updates) which is so little, considering the fact i havent incurred a single virus in a year and half of using them and very little spyware.
