Best Virus Protection for Dial-up?

DerekGoodson · 07-04-2007, 12:08 PM

Hey guys,
I have a customer that has brought in a 1999 Gateway desktop to me to reformat and reload... No Problem there. The problem that I have is when she plugs it into her dial-up connection, Avg is going to take 2.5 hours and is coming up with all kinds of errors... Is AVG not designed for Dial-up because of all the updating it has to do? What is it that I could use that doesn't have all the updating that is going to give a dial-up customer so much trouble?

Any Help here would be great....

Happy 4th!!!

you should go with Kaspersky Anti-Virus, its a fairly light program & works very well. then just set any updates to be done manually.

What does the "Avg " mean?

AVG isn't actually that good...its been getting mixed reviews for the last few years because it doesn't pick up half of what it used to...

Well I use GPRS to connect to the internet most of the time, dial-up is faster than it. And I use AVG as an antivirus- I must tell you that it takes little or no time to update- don't even realizing that is updating. Tell her to check her version and install a newer version and then update.

Bitdefender. Everybit as good as kasperksy. Excellent scan engine. And it's free.
