I use Sophos and get update messages regularly. Innoculate it is well worth investing in (it's free) and gives an alternative t cross check against especially when Mcafee get the signatures wrong.

Additionally it is worth ensuring you have at least a software  firewall, thee free one is probably the best (environment permitting)  http://www.zonelabs.com for zonealarm.

Funnily enough, its also recently come to my attention that I have (or had) no AV software. Unfunnily, I hav just spent the last two days re-formatting my Hard drive and down loading all the upgraded software that I had over the last two years as a consequence.  I have just yesterday also invested in a copy of Norton....... If anyone would advise a better alternative, let me know, cos I do NOT want t have to go through this again...

Thanks.  Couple of problems. 

 

1) Grisofts T&C's exclude network usage.

2) Computer Associates have dropped the personal use program!

 

Any further suggestions?

Free for personal use, and seems to work well.

It's recently come to my attention that I'm not running any AV software!  Oops.. :-( .  Fortunately I haven't learnt this the hard way.

 

Recommendations please for cost effective solutions....

 

Or should I bite the bullet and buy something like Sophos?
