Can you please suggest a cheap or free anti-virus program for a user whose current program is jamming the system when an email is sent? He has had to uninstall it, leaving him without proper cover. Anton Schembri
I usually recommend the free version of Grisoft's AVG from free.grisoft.com. However, your friend may be able to continue with his current program if he turns off the checking of outgoing mail. This isn't a lot of use anyway, since nowadays any decent virus will send its own email.
It's much more important to run multiple checks to make sure a PC doesn't have a virus in the first place. If it doesn't, there is not much point in checking outgoing mail. It's checking incoming mail that's important.
