need some software recommendations

[steeler80]

I've gotten tired of dealing with the McAffee security center that came with my Dell and I'm not renewing it. I was thinking of going with Avast! for some free virus detection. I was wondering what shareware/freeware programs people recommended (firewalls, etc.).

I use Avast and make friends install it on their computers.

It's true. I just totally unloaded Norton and put Avast on my new machine. And it's all Sk's fault.

Of course, most things are . . .

+3 for Avast.

Dunno about freeware. But I use trend micro with no probs for virus, spyware, firewall etc. Just renewed it, working well.

I've been using AVG free anti-virus for years with no problems whatsoever.

One thing though, whatever you end up using, amke sure to completey uninstall the old anti-virus before loading the new one.
