i use AVG, too - it indeed slows down the computer pretty much ( especially when you run spybot alongside, which i do ) - but its quite reliable. - i haven t had any serious attacks on the computer ever... provided, i run the update each day.
so, my computer protection is:
- windows firewall on high security settings
- internet 128bit encryption / decryption
- anti-vir classic
- spybot teatimer
i don t think anything will penetrate that protection. - and if something does... the person attempting will be utterly disappointed, cause there is nothing on the computer of any value, except a few essays for the university:laugh:
