Title: Free Anti Virus Software
Post by: PhilTheFish on October 11, 2003, 12:05
Can anyone recommend a free anti virus program for a mate of mine? He doesn't want to spend 30-40 quid on Norton or Mcafee if there is something that will do the job for nothing!

Cheers
Phil

For anti virus software hit the Anti Vir link

Beat by Hooky by 39 seconds, drat and double drat  ;D

mind you my post offers links to seven "must have" programs, but I see we both recommend the Anti Vir program, so your forgiven   :-*

See http://pc-pals.com/antivirus.htm Phil. It's a little out of date version-wise, but the programs are still available.

Good page Tony.  :)  It's the first time I've seen it, but I will bookmark it so I can send it by e-mail the next time one of my less savvy friends asks me for advice.  It will save me from having to type the same thing for the umpteenth time!
