ANTI VIRUS PROTECTION Info Request
What is better, Avast 4Home Edition (Free) or McAfee (£2.49 per month). Not worried about cost, just protection. Any others worth getting?
Don't be scared by the mention of AOL

This has been done to death on here. AVG is not a good antivirus. Fact. End of story. There have even been reports on here recently of people who have been infected whilst having it installed.
No free product currently available even comes close to the protection offered by NOD32 etc. McAfee isn't bad on the dectection rates, but it is bloated and badly eats resources
Do yourself a favour, and spend a little money (it's only £30 for a whole year - less than most games).

As above I wouldn't touch AVG with a bargepole.
There ARE good free antivirus products available though.
Kaspersky is currently free, as per my link above.
Avira AntiVir is also free. Very small footprint and one of the best in detection rates, even frequently topping NOD32.
