  With my vast experience I'm finding a pillow on the couch to be the best investment to keep anyone from getting in my machine ;yes;.

 Jim turned me on to Shield Deluxe a few years ago.  It's been the best so far of all the ones I have tried.

I havent had a ant-virus program running on any of our pc's for 2 and half years and NO viruses.. Just last month I downloaded the FREE version of AVAST. Works just like I paid for it.

I use TrendMicro & am happy with it. I can install it on 3 computers for one $$ amount. I do mine & Mom & Dad's.

I use McAfee and it seems to work better than Norton which is what I had before.

Yeah I've been running Shield Deluxe for a couple years on every machine in the house, and I swear by it.
I actually found it a long time ago by doing a consumer reports search.
The best price with the best service providing the best virus protection, and using the least amount of CPU. (bogging down your computer)
I renew it every year and never looked back. :sneer:

Another thing about Shield Deluxe is it is also a Malware program also.

Brad I'm sorry but I was busy yesterday cutting pork, then a buddy called and I had to go on an errand of mercy to help him with his critters at dark :argh:.  After the job was done he said the 2010 crop was in and needed to be tested so after floating home about 9pm, smiling all the way, I read what you said but didn't dare respond as sometimes it comes out all wrong about that time :laf: :laf:.  I figure that should raise the price of the merchandise by about 110% when our security council sees it :doh2:. 
  I'll try to stay on track better in the future :iroll:.

Sooo now that I have "Shield Deluxe"... by following directions I turned off "windows defender" and the "user account control" according to directions on installing... but windows keeps the "shield" up warning that the above is turned off....  :doh2:   So to run this 'SD" am I going to always have that  warning going on?

Post by: FinsnFur on December 11, 2010, 10:46:37 PM
XP? Or Vista?
Title: Re: anitvirus
Post by: Yotehntr on December 11, 2010, 11:40:17 PM
Vista...   :confused:   wonder why they changed to "7" so quick? 
Title: Re: anitvirus
Post by: FinsnFur on December 12, 2010, 09:43:47 AM
You can turn it back on and it wont create any conflict. The biggest thing is to have it off while your installing, because Vista's defender will not like what it see's as the antivirus is being installed.

Plus......if the little warning alerts get to be a nuisance, you can turn them off in, user control. CCP showed me that little trick when I got my first Vista machine.
