At the moment Im using the AVG free virus check and my router has a firewall.

But now Im ready to start my E.bay business and Im looking for some serious virus software and firewall software as I will be using my new credit card (Yeah I manged to get paypal, I hope)

After some google work Im looking at the Panda virus check and the zone alarm firewall.

I was just wondering what you use and if you have any advice ?

I’m using the free ZoneAlarm with no complaints so far.

I recently installed (yesterday) the full verion of AVG, it picked up a hell of a lot of things that Norton wasn’t so it cant be too bad.

So I installed the Panda virus check which has a firewall with it (cool).

Its working really smoothly so far and has cleaned some little bits and pieces, so all good. Still waiting for my credit card but only 5 days to go, I hope.

Cheers for the input everyone. 😉

I did used to use Norton Internet Security but it seemed to take up a lot of resources and give little protection over smaller lighter progs, was a bastard to get off my system too.

The consumer version is really quite bad it’s true…

I didn’t realise there was a difference, that’s learnt me! Got to admit the virus ananlysis database has come in a lot of use in the past when it comes to “masked” blended threats etc, I was a bit pissed off at the performance coz I started with Norton Commander in the heady days of Win9x and always found the AV etc the most effective up until about 2002 versions.
