Compatible with your current AV. Installs a non-intrusive browser plugin. If you live dangerously like I do (no AV), then it does foster a peace of mind (had just two detections in a couple zipped JavaScript files).

I only trust symantec for viruses...

My work has Inoculate, man that is the worlds biggest pile of ****.
I got a virus that attacked the actual inoculate software. Knocked it out and ate my system... The IT guy's had a good laugh...

By the way, some snapperhead tried to hack my computer last night... Is there anyway to send a IP address a message?

there is if it is on the local network

not sure about across the net.

i would say it can with a Microsoft pop-up

Been using them for a long, long time.

They are up to date, not like software.

And they are free, what else could you ask for.

PS Zen won your bet, hun. Was a good game!

I just switched for Mozilla firefox as my browser a couple days ago.  So far, I'm quite impressed.  But, when I try to download the plugin for Housecall, it wants me to point to the netscape folder, so I point it to the firefox folder, so far, so good.  Then it wants me to point it to the plugins folder, which I do, but it says it cannot find the netscape plugins folder, and won't finish the install.  Any ideas?

I also had trouble installing the plug-in with FireFox...rather than fight it, I dusted off IE and used it instead (forgive me Lord).

Griff...
Yes, most excellent game...took him a week to pay me in full, though.

Ah, yes.  If at first you don't succeed, be sneaky.  Always a good philosophy.  Thanks for the tip.  It's running right now.

I have used house call for a while and it is very good... however I decided to bite the bullet and get a real 24/7 AV on my PC but I wasn't about to pay for Norton and have to renew it every year so I went for AVG from www.grisoft.com.  Completely free and all updates are free...  worth every penny

I was using this, I put it on my girlfriends computer too, and I thought it was ok until she got a virus and it did nothing about it.
It was the Gaobot virus, I had to find other means to get rid of it, you've been warned!

Well they do say a AVC is only aws good as your last update...had she been keeping it upodated?? Anyway for me who has never had a virus checker before and doesn't really do anything that makes me likely to get one I think I will be okay

I used the Symatec online scan which found the virus, I thought i'd install AVG as it was the one I was using. I downloaded the latest one, run the scan and it didnt come up with anything.
She doesn't do anything that should get her a virus, so i'm on the lookout for a decent one now. Think it might have to be norton

I like NOD32. When I uninstalled Norton AV and started with NOD32 it was like I'd upgraded my CPU.  PC is much faster now.

See http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,986293,00.asp for a good article on AV software and its impact on performance.

Unfortunately NOD32 isn't free.
