Can someone please help with the following problem? I would like to know which of the following virus protection programs are the most reliable: McAfee's SCAN/VSHIELD/CLEAN Norton's Anti-Viral program Virex-PC Since I do download quite a bit from ftp sites, I need to protect my system from viruses. Currently, I have been using McAfee's VSHIELD & SCAN programs. Before I register the programs, I want to know if Norton's programs are just as good or better? Registering for the three McAfee's programs would be more expensive than buying Norton's program. I recently missed a sale pricing Norton at $50. If Norton is not as good, then I'd rather pay more for the better protection. So, can someone tell me what is the most reliable software to get? I should state that I do use Window over half the time. Is there something similar to MAC's SAM? I like how the program automatically checks any removable disks which has been inserted into the drive. Is there a PC version of this software which does the same thing? +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ + | Santanu Sircar BITNET: ssircar@umaecs.bitnet | | University of Massachusetts/Amherst INTERNET: ssircar@ecs.umass.edu | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +
