Re: virus program acting up



What is meant by "acting up"? Has AVG been updated? What Service Pack 2
virus program are you referring to? There is no anti-virus program supplied
in SP2. You can go online and get free virus scans from Symantec, Trend
Micro and McAfee. Make sure the system is protected by, at the very least,
the firewall provided by Microsoft. Zone Alarm makes a very good firewall,
and it is free. You also need to have something like AdAware and SpyBot
Search and Destroy installed. You can Google for those and install them.
They are totally free.
