    Kaspersky for me every time..........

    PM me for the site to download. I'm not a fan of AVG and I find Kaspersky has done a far better job than that did.</p>

    It's free and top notch.

    You are f**king kidding?

    I have Norton's installed, and it took AVG and some freeware Windy posted to even detect I'd got a virus, never mind remove it. And that's not even taking the fact that the Norton's Firewall should have blocked it in the first place.

    Nortons: The thinking man's Harry Enfield.

    Honestly, mate: It's f**king rubbish. Just run my computer through AVG and it's picked up two virusses that Norton's (paid for and regulalrly updated) can't spot.

    I can't wait for Norton's to send me the reminder that tells me my subscription is about to run out. I wish I was a lawyer.

    Kaspersky is better than both.........

    It tells you when an attack from the internet is even takin place. This happens frequently and you just delete.</p>

    As most Spyware is un noticed by most virus scanners this comes in handy trust me.</p>

    I'll download that as well then.

    Only ever use my credit card via the Internet, so that's the only place some t**t could have got hold of my details and spent £4K of my money. Well, not 'mine', but you know what I mean.

    That was with Norton's active too.

    RE: Did you get the money back?

    Eventually, but only 'cos I could prove that I was at work, and hence on a different ISP, when the transactions took place.

    Shook me up though.

    When I went to Euro 2000........

    to watch England against Romania I lost my credit card pissed up (just before my arrest for being pissed - it was 6am and I'd also lost me shoes) and some Barsteward had bought a large TV £690 and tried to buy a car ffs with it. I got home and all in they had nicked £1560 out of my account.</p>

    That took about 2 months for them to pay out but I was lucky that it was in another country and they just took my word for it. When it comes to Internet fraud its a different kettle of fish.</p>

    They'll try and prove you used a different PC and everything.</p>
