Re: Re: [iris-photos] OT - VIRUSES

I've tried McAfee, Grisoft and Norton. I wasn't too impressed with Grisoft.
It didn't scan more than about 30,000 files - less than 1/3 of what others
scanned. McAfee and Norton I thought were both okay, but when I needed to
renew this year I bought Panda Internet Security.

I had scanned with Norton just prior to uninstalling it and installing Panda
and it said my computer was clean. After installing Panda I ran it, and it
found 12 infected emails I had on file. I was stunned. I had felt pretty
secure with Norton.

Anyway, Panda updates daily, or as needed - in fact 3 times yesterday
alone - for a total of almost 60 new virus definitions. Scary isn't it? That
so many new ones need to be developed to protect our machines? Panda also
provides a firewall, anti-spyware protection, anti-dialer protection,
ant-spam protection and even web content filtering if you get the Internet
Security bundle as opposed to just the anti-virus. And it just runs quietly
in the background and I don't have to think about it.

I don't own shares in the company <vbg>, but I'm very pleased with the
protection provided and I wish someone had told me about it. Instead I did
searches online to learn about it myself.

Just thought I'd pass this on for whoever might be interested.

Debby, Sk.
