Don't ya just hate it when...

[Mart61]

...you're flying well, doing all the good stuff you've been practising for a while, it's all coming together and then...

...Norton Internet Security dumps a big f*** off dialogue box in the middle of the screen, telling you your subscription needs renewing!

Having Nortons internet security is a crime in itself.

Yeah ive had the same problems Martin. Look at my thread on Phoenix skipping/jumping.I think its something to do with Norton running scans

Too right.

Mr Norton took a leaf out of BG's book of software design and produced an overblown resource hungry POS

Uninstall Norton its rubbish

Install this instead

What do you guys use?

[zoombolt]

Norton anti virus since 1998 & never had a problem with it either!
Obviously updated.

What do you guys use?

AVG Free version

Works for me and isnt "Bloatware" like Nortons.

[est1976]

AVG Free version

me too have done for a few years now

[Brian Gifford]

I use AVG as well. Good stuff. On the subject of "don't you just hate it when..." I'd just settled down to play on Phoenix with my new DX6i when I discovered the Phoenix lead had a broken wire. Now fixed, but what a pain.

avg

[quote=busterboy;248138]AVG Free version
Me too!

[easypickingsere]

I use Avira AntiVirus its free and I have had no problems, used to be bang into gaming and doesnt slow up your machine as Norton will, as said before Nortons very power hungry, also I found it very intrusive installing itself everywhere

[jamiem]

AVG Free here too

[Mart61]

Just Googeling for input on the best free anti-virus and find it's a bit like asking advice as to which heli/Tx/servo/gyro etc.

Hundreds of replies, hundred of different opinions...

Norton has a reputation for slowing machines down. TBF, the latest offering is supposed to be better, but why pay for that when AVG is free?
