    Smile Re:Anti-Virus best to use software

    Hello all, i had Avast anti-virus but, problem was it slowed down my computer, and the Internet, so un-installed it.

    I Installed Avira-Antivir personal, but, does not have email scanner.

    Has the free version of AVG anti-virus got an email scanner etc????

    Since i got rid of Avast, computer and internet runs better.

    Thanks, GEP

    gep--You really do not need an email scanner.

    So if Avira works, go for it.
    AVG is not well regarded and has caused at least two connectivity problems lately. http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...d.php?t=234848

    Thumbs up Re:Slowness

    Hello WelshJim, SpywareDR, thanks for your replies, will keep Avira, see how it goes. Had a look at turning the Preview pane off, which i have now done. Save and scan on desktop any attachments in emails.

    Will leave AVG alone.

    Thanks for your replies, GEP
