What shall I delete next?
I'm cheap when it comes to computer software. I really despise spending money on anything other than really important programs. freeware.com, cnet.com and download.com have become favorites of mine over the years.
Being the cheapscate that I am, I refuse to buy something as unimportant as antivirus software. Thankfully Microsoft directs you to a dozen or more trial versions of antivirus products. And so I've gone through McAffee, Symantic ... you name it, I've used it. When my trial time was up, I switched to EZ Anti-Virus. This software functioned fairly well, until it deleted mIRC, a wonderful chat program. For some reason it saw mIRC was as a flood virus and deleted it ... twice. Unfortunately I was not intelligent enough the first time around to discover EZ deleted it. It happened again last night. I was not a happy camper =).
To make a long story short, don't use EZ Anti-Virus. I uninstalled it from my computer.
Let's all say goodbye to EZ Anti-Virus ...

AVG Free Antivirus works really well--they've recently started to make it difficult to find the free version on their site (go through downloads.com)
FREE baby, FREE.
If you are an ASU student, or possibly even MCC or CGCC, you can get free anti-virus software if you go to the computer lab and talk with the computer techs. Jus bring in your own disc so they can download the software for you. I had free software the whole time in college, and now I have the CD so I still have free antivirus software. Yeah boy!
you can use the one i bought. come visit and i'll give it to you. McAfee. I like it. I put it on Becca's and I put it on Jan's (she doesn't know yet cuz the hard drive failed before i could give it to her... unrelated to any virus). In any case, i avoided all problems by switching to mac...
and we all know why there's only a few viruses for Macs? ... because no one owns Macs =)
