I'm currently using innoculateIT, but I've never heard of AVG 6.0. Where can I get a copy?

Where can I get the Inoculate IT? Right now, I have Norton AntiVirus 2000 and it is f***ing up my system. My system won't respond when I click on something. When it did, it took a while. Now that I deleted NAV 2k, I need another Antivirus program.

AVG 6.0 is found at www.grisoft.com

whoisurdaddy, you've got something else wrong with your system if NAV2000 appears to be screwing it up. I, and quite a few other people in here having been running it for quite some time with no problems. In fact, it appears to be the AV program of choice for Win2K users.

Have you checked your event viewer recently? Running NAV2000 on my machine (SMP) causes perfproc failures in winmgmt.exe Not sure if that was a problem as regards to crashes, etc., but turning off the auto-protect made those errors go away.

 

Also, I cannot do a full virus scan on my system without NAV2000 hanging about 60,000 files into it...this is repeatable, it will not finish.

 

Oh, and again perhaps due to SMP, I can crash/freeze the machine if I am doing a virus scan and checking mail (nav mail virus detection enabled) at the same time.

I also have this problem 50% of the time. Sometimes it completes a full scan sometimes it doesn't. I have no answer to this and I am also running a SMP system. But after a recent reinstall of Windows 2000. I updated Windows 2000 first. Then installed NAV 2000 and updated. After I did that that lock up went away. You could try this

I'm using Nav2K, and have had no problems. in fact, since I hoped I wouldn't be up this late, I am running a scan right now [42% in and no probs].

 

I've never used InocculateIT, 'cuz I get Nav2000 free from my university, but it looks like a good prog.

Since I use the InoculateIT full version at business and home I am partial to it. I have tried the Personal Edition before putting the full system on at home and was very pleased with it. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles that full has but you can configure it to download virus signatures at periodic times. Also can subscribe to an email newsletter that will alert you to a new signature update.
