Antivirus on Dial-up
Hello,
I am on dial-up and also use Avast as a free antivirus and have found it very good. Easy and quick to download and like Bev said only takes a few minutes to update every day.
I used to have AVG which was another free one but I couldn't download the 2009 version.
I have used Norton and a couple of other ones you pay for - one especially was not compatible and stuffed up Outlook Express.
I only use the Windows Firewall, used to have Spyware but ended up deleting it.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers.

Thanks TW. Avast seems to be the one for Anti-Vir.
I think she could probably do without the anti-spy for now, as she doesn't use the computer much.
