Guest Terry Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 I've been using AVG for years. I don't like the new 8.0 version. What other freeware antivirus software does the group recommend. I'm considering Avira - has anyone used it? Quote

Windows XP Home and Pro: 1.Boot into Safe Mode (tap F8 repeatedly after you restart the computer) 2.Log in using the Administrator account 3.Go to C:\Program Files\(Avira)\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\avnotify.exe 4.Right-click avnotify.exe-> properties-> security-> advanced 5.Under the Permissions folder you will see all of the users. Start with the first user¡K. 6.Edit-> Traverse Folder / Execute File-> deny-> ok 7.Now perform step 6 for all of the other users-> apply-> yes/ok-> close all open windows 8.Reboot the computer into Normal Mode (start-> shutdown-> restart) I hope this alleviates your legality concerns :-) Quote
