My friend had gone to send me a music file and neglected to tell me that her computer had a virus. Typically I have a great virus and anti-spyware protection program and will alert and quarantine before anything can, I guess embed into my files! Well unlucky and stupid me this time nothing worked!
I’ve been using it offline but now that classes are starting up soon what are my options! It’s a new computer I got it in December…um Dell Inspiron 1520 I believe. It has the TrendMicro Protection service.
I know that some places will clean it out but I am wondering if that’s safe? Also what types of places, i.e. Staples or Best Buy will do a better job of wiping it out the fastest! && If I have the computer cleaned (stupid files I added on) will it also delete my Trend Micro Program?
Hi I’m going to be buying a dell inspiron laptop and i was just wondering what a good firewall spy ware and virus protection would be a good one to purchase that would give full protection so my computer doesn’t get ruined I’m not to picky about price i would rather pay for something and have it work than having to buy a hole new laptop! please help
I bought a Dell Inspiron 1521 running on Vista this last year. McAfee was already installed as a trial preview (don’t know what the correct term would be) I used that for the first few months and when the trial ran out I just couldn’t afford to buy the full version so I decided to try so other free trial options. I’ve used AVG (didn’t like it much) and Norton (I do like this for what I use my computer recently for) I now have the funds available to purchased a anti-virus/protection program for my laptop but I’m not sure of which I should use. I’ll go into detail of what I use my laptop for and what I like/dislike (looking for). Since it’s almost been a year since I used McAfee I can’t recall if I absolutely loved it or had issues that were so minor that I didn’t notice. and that’s what is making this choice so hard.
I use my computer for mostly internet and downloading (file sharing) I don’t have a personal internet connection and use public wireless networks for access. Since I’ve had Norton I enjoy that if i’m downloading something virus/spyware contaminated it blocks the file and lets me know. I also like that it blocks and informs me of any attempted attacks/unauthorized access to my computer. I can’t remember if mcafee did this or not because I really didn’t do a lot of this when I first got the computer. I need to know if mcafee does this in the same manner as norton or not. and would like some personal views/issues with these programs.
I just bought a new Dell Inspiron 17 laptop and it cam with a free 30 trial of McAfee anti-virus software. Since I don’t want to pay for the software when the trial runs out, I’m planning on getting free software online. When I do, should I uninstall McAfee from my computer? Also, what’s the best free anti-virus and anti-spyware software I can get?
