I cant watch play of do anything. Every minute or so the computer freeses for two seconds and then resumes, throwing everything off track.. I need a substitute... my version of Norton Systemworks (2005) lasted a year with no hiccups but now i am tired of Norton, perhaps another antivirus is needed. I came to my conclusion after using google to a very large extent, as well as deductive reasoning (nothing else was installed). As i game alot, i am extremely pissed and would love a repacement.. nothing fancy, just Antivirus and a few extras, like systemworks had, I also use Adaware SE so i dont really need a pro with help for that... Thanx and it doesent matter if it aint free, ill buy it!!!! cheers. J |

AVGFree is used and recommended by many members here at BC, myself included.
