cwaddell27 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I just reformatted and also just found out the problem was able to be solved by using laptop without the battery. When I had the problem people said I shouldn't be using lots of different anti virus programs but to just use Avast. Now that I have to reinstall lots of software I wanted to know what antivirus programs I should use - I downloaded avast but is there anything else i should use that is free and available to download? I did use AVG, Spybot and Symantec before aswell as Avast. Quote

maynardvdm Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Look at that link from Randy also just make sure that if the antivirus software don't have a firewall, then you must install a seperate firewall.
