Hunting Malware
Franklin , Tennessee - if it is'nt Franklin Police "Side Jacking" your puter , it's someone else putting some kind of virus , Trojan or other Malware on your puter. I took a test drive on some anti this "n that and here's my opinion:
Spy Bot - I like this and the price is right. The plus side is their support that is second to none.
Avira - nothing BUTT garbage. It won't let you run some apps and/or simply removes them without asking. Does little good otherwise.
Norton - many don't like it because it takes over your puter , but then how else are you gonna watch for stuff? The people at Best Buy sell this all the time BUTT , those very same people wont use it on their own personal puter. What does that tell you?
Ad Aware - this thing will not catch a variety of problems. WOT even says their download site is a Malware problem in itself. In addition , there are some things it will catch BUTT can not remove. After you've had it a while , your puter will suddenly catch a cold and Ad Aware will demand payment to fix it or else.
