• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Internet Security?

Overdosing on placebos
So my year and a half of free Norton AntiVirus Internet Security is up tomorrow, and my mom won't buy a new subscription. Which is really fine. However, what security program would you suggest as a good replacement?
 
Because Furret is never funny or helpful:

I'd try AVG Free, personally. It works just fine for me running Windows. :B
 
Seconding Avast and AVG~ they're much, much better than Norton which is horrid. D: If you're looking to buy something though, I've used CA for about a year and I've found that it's fairly good, and I've heard good things about BitDefender.
 
AVG Free and Malwarebytes. You really shouldn't have one without the other. If you want a firewall... probably Comodo.

If you were to ever have the chance on another computer... yes, use Ubuntu. If I didn't have to worry about my games being like 100% compatible, I would be using Ubuntu as my main.
 
I'm seconding Avast! and AVG, but if you want to be really ridiculous, you could set the clock on your computer back six months and see whether your Norton reacts. I've heard stories.
 
Well I'm running windows right now, and a really good service I've been using is Avira Anti-Virus. It has a really kickass firewall, and it gives you a warning when a virus is trying to enter your computer.
