for those AVG free edition users,
i dont think u can run the antivirus in safe mode rite?
therefore there are many worm/trojans that cannot be deleted.

im using kaspersky+ZA+ad-aware+spybot search and destroy

I'm using norton 2003 but not norton 2004 coz norton 2004 got lots of utilities tat are useless which take up space. All these years i have not been trying other antivirus protection. In firewall, i choose ZoneAlarm. For spyware, i choose adware + spybot.

Wow!!! You're among the most unique one biggrin.gif
Anyway, a good choice. I read something from a review site. NOD is the most effiecient (in terms of resource usage and virus that it could detect) AV ever. And draw back is, it doesn't catch TROJAN. I heard ot could finish scan the whole C drive (say about 6-7 G occupied) within 5-6 mins ( shocking.gif )

actually i'm looking for one also for my laptop.

norton works well on my fast desktop but it is SERIOUSLY a resource hogger on my laptop (P4 1.6, 256MB).

tried avg free edition. takes much less resources but then again, it is not reliable. still finding one that strikes the balance.
