Antivirus software
I have been using Zone Alarm antivirus software. Not pleased with some point about it. Have to either renew withthem or someone. Probably will go back to Norton. Any suggestions?

Ken,
Its funny I was just looking into this as I had let my Symantec Anitvirus
expire for too long a time.
I wanted to get something on a trial so I got the CA product. Did not like it too slow, uninstalled it.
I checked a anti virus rating service and an Anit Virus program from Australia, NOD32, came up pretty high, small footprint and faster, less intrusive. On day 3 with it, much better than CA, I think I like it better than the over intrusive Symantec products.
This brings up another topic, I am going to create another Board on Technology so we can put these threads there.

Is that in stores, on line or where can I find it?
Thanks.
Wow, another world to check out. Sure hope there will be people there who are software experts. Computers prove you can use something and still be a dummy. Guess some advice about guns also applies to them.

Ken, for a "free" anti virus software you can't go wrong with AVG. If they stopped offering it for free, I'd buy it today, no questions asked. Been using it for right at 5 or 6 years and not even a hiccup.

After a terrible failure by Norton followed by abysmal support I swore off all Symantec products. I stumbled onto AVG a few years ago and couldn't be more pleased with it.

AVG is a great product but I would certainly check out the one Dennis is recommending as well.
I use AVG and pay for the premium package. I can tell you their support is great if you ever need it. Last year I did get infected a couple of times from something and since I have an automatic scan every night they were cleaned off immediately.
If you choose to pay for the upgraded version it is a fraction of the cost of Norton and McAfee.

Here is a link to one of the many sites that have ratings on antivirus software.
Has anyone used their top rated "BitDefender", also one of the cheapest I have seen? Has anyone used Kaspersky, though a bit out my price range

I purchased the new StopZilla as my spyware program. I like the "active" feature and the daily updates. I works like a virus program and will prevent most stuff from ever infecting your machine unlike most others that require a scan to remove what you catch.
