Network cable disconnects itself ?!

Do you install a antivirus clean it then uninstall it?

I have AVG permanently installed, malwarebytes permanently installed and add Superantispyware for a once off clean.

One of those clients who will go to any site, click on anything and run anything when asked. I've given up lecturing.

AVG? Seriously?


You can do better than that.

You can do better than that.

It comes with the network management system we use for clients around the country.

The Business Network Edition is okay for desktop users - and I won't go near Symantec.

Avast is out, due to user unfriendly interface compared to AVG (when I last tried it). So here I am, listening to find out what the great free AV with a decent UI is...

AVG and norton are rubbish, run Avast Free and you are bound to find a virus or two.


Also are the latest LAN drivers installed?

Ok, I admit the new UI is a bit confusing compared to Avast 8, but all i really do is a full scan from time to time and visit the quarantine. What more do you want to do?
