Subject: Can you suggest other free virus protection?
I used Norton's virus program for a couple of years. Recently, I noticed
that a lot of my programs were running very slow. I already have Spybot up
and running updated often. I decided to also install AVG free edition and
let my Norton expire. I left the Norton in place. About two months ago, I
ran a virus report and noticed that AVG had quarantined a Trojan Horse. I
didn't write down which one. Within the last week, the internet runs REALLY
slow. My ISP in NetZero Dialup High Speed and it is currently running at
35.2 kbs. It is lately not very often that I can even get high speed. I
have tried to update AVG several times, only to get a message saying that it
could not be updated because it was damaged. I uninstalled Norton and then
AVG. I downloaded AVG again. When I tried to update it, I get the same
message. Trying to get on the internet is a long arduous process lately.
It runs so slow that it took me two hours to download AVG again. Many times
it is so slow that I get the dreaded "Page not found" message. Help! I
think I may have picked up a virus. I don't want to spend $50+ for another
virus protection program only to install it and find out that it also can't
download updates. I also loaded a program called Panda virus scan. It must
run in the background. Even when I am on the internet, I can't seem to get
a report. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
