the last time Steve took me by surprise with his sense of humor some time ago, i was drinking coffee and my keyboard received a liberal spraying thank god i was not drinking when this came up.... i would be without a computer

Also known in the British IT industry as "a fleshware issue"

Hahaha, good one.

other than that the free version of AVG has always been reliable for me.

AVG, paid or free version is rubbish. About 80 percent of the clients that were bringing in infected computers to the PC shop where I worked, were running AVG free and it was up to date. Still wouldn't detect the viruses they had. The worst case I saw had about 180 infected files and several dozen different viruses. AVG is crap. McAfee is next worse right behind AVG.

Chantel, I can send you ESET again if you want me too. You run that, and never disable it for any reason, and keep it up to date and I can guarantee you'll never get a virus, period.

I need the version for 64 bit.

[infernalis]

NEVER had a virus attack with this, not ever. been using it since 1998. The cost isn't cheap, but I cannot argue success.

[ConcinusMan]

I need the version for 64 bit.

Oh God, you didn't. Absolutely no reason for you to go with 64 bit OS. But OK, I'll get the 64 bit version to you soon. PM me your address again.

And yes, Panda is a good one. False positive rate is higher than ESET but that's still better than missing viruses completely.

[kibakiba]

It was all they had available. I wanted 32 bit because I don't see the point in 64 bit, but that's what they gave me. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have gotten the 64 bit one.

[ConcinusMan]

Maybe its because there's more than 4 GB of memory installed? Anything over 4 GB requires 64 bit. 32 bit can only use up to 4.

[kibakiba]

8 GB of memory is what I have right now, I don't really need over 4 though

If you have Win7-64 you can never have too much RAM. And it's cheap as chips at the moment.
