What windows anti-virus/firewall/security/spam block do you use?[views:1718][posts:9]_______________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 10:40am - the_reverend ""] I'm still using norton 2004 and there is a process that kills my PC calls CCAPP.exe. when I do anything, that scanning process jumps the fuck up! including when my java apps process the pictures from a show. it turns a 5 minute flip through of images to 15-20 minutes. it also kills web browsing and just about everything cause it's always killing my machine. right now, it's at 93%. I'm looking for something new or better... |

| _____________________________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 11:20am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] I use Symantec AntiVirus 9 for some reason (even though I've never had a virus). I use the free version of ZoneAlarm for a firewall. I don't run anything for anti-spyware. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 11:28am - the_reverend ""] I should probably try this: http://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/pr...s/overview.jsp?pcid=is&pvid=nis2007 hm.. http://www.torrentreactor.net/view.php?id=641416&display=detailed |

| _______________________________ [Nov 14,2006 12:03pm - awol ""] go for AVG, its free so you can't beat the cost and it works pretty well http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 12:16pm - xanonymousx ""] avg is good but i don't know if they are re-newing the free version of the software for 2007? avg works better than nortan in some cases |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 14,2006 12:19pm - DeRtOxIa ""] i use avast and am amazed how much better than symantec it is. updates every day and always finds shit. plus it uses up wayyyyyyy less resources than symantec |

I'm using norton 2004 and I can't figure out what AV it is 2004 I think. It's just their corporate crap. Has the ability to look to a server version of it on your network, etc. Also, in my opnion AVG is AWFUL. |
