Re: I HAVE TAKEN BACK MY COMPUTER!!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I've had good luck with AVG - there's a free version, then there's
SPYBOT of course and AdAware and SpywareBlaster; then I've just started
(we'll see...) with open-source virus scanner clamwin
(clamwin.com)...Like you, I insist on updates and scans on MY terms
so's I don't get tied up...especially important for a dialup user like
me

First, get rid of anything that says Norton or Symantec and replace with
McAfee, which is more reliable and less intrusive.

Neither company makes user friendly HOME products. Most people I run
into have not REGISTERED their McAfee and it's not even downloaded
updates for a year or more - at least Norton nags you to update.

AVG - well, of all the computers I've seen compromised, AVG has been the
only AV solution that was common to all of them. None of the computers
running Symantec Corp or McAfee or Norton Home edition in the last year
have been compromised.
