The Gooner Forum

The 18 month free McAfee anti virus software I got when I bought my laptop expires on Friday and I don't fancy forking out 60 odd quid to renew it.

I'm pretty sure I saw a thread on here ages back (which I've tried searching for but can't find ) where some of you lot said you were using free software off the net that does the job just as good.

So just wondering what advice you have?

(I will decorate this thread in tits once my problem is solved as incentive for help!!)

I use AVG (was recommended by FwankSav).

Post tits. Now.

AVG can slow your system down i use Avast which is also free and very good.


Now post tits

Cheers DB10.

Before I cover this thread in massive mammaries the free version doesn't have a tick next to shopping and banking which I'd do a bit of. Should I be shitless entering credit card nymbers/bank details from now on?

Same with that Avast one Flash, nothing next to online shopping/banking. Apple already let my credit card get hacked so I'm nervous of it saying that.

Just get one of them and post some tits for fuck sake

Well ive never had a problem with being hacked over the net. In theory if you scan daily/weekly and you dont enter your cards into snide sites or in phishing scams you should be ok. I dont think any virus checker is 100% perfect even McAfee

What you want is a combination.
AVG anti virus
Adware for trojans.
Zone alarm to control who is allowed on your Lap top.


All are free and i have found them very effective.

If you keep giving your CC details to PORN and Escort agencies sites you are asking for trouble

Rebel said you used those sites all the time and there was never any problems Baz, how was I to know


Cheers for all the help guys, I'll try those out when I get home. Can't post any breasts till I get home as the Gestapo IT department at work filter out all the good sites/pictures.

Well played gentlemen

AVG for virus and doing a big scan

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for scanning against shit that websites give you because anti-viruses are shit for getting Malware.

Also i use NoScript Addon to block all script that runs off webpages as most if not all webpages hide script. For example on this site there is a google script that collects your data and a thing called viglink that is again tracking data for advertisments etc.

this thread was better than I was expecting


nice on Rodders my son

Glary utilities or Win utilities for cleaning all the shit from your pc.





FREE

Best one - for those using Microsoft - is Microsoft Security Essentials, does everything and is free as long as your system is running Microsoft.



ps: More TITS please!
