I have a bit of a puzzle. I use EZ Antivirus and have always found it to be reliable. However, since reinstalling windows I appear to have an issue. Upon start up my Real Time protection is turned off and cannot be reinstated. If I restart it is fine. I have had 3 on line live chats with customer support and they have given me every possible solution, but it's still the same. I checked my running processes and found an unidentifiable one at start up. It was blank!
 Having deleted it I assumed all would be well. It is still the same. I use Ez antivirus, Prevx1, Spybot and Ad Aware. I am thinking that there is a virus of some description running in the background that I cannot find.Any Ideas? Please note that this is only occurring at the intial start up, but having to reboot everytime is becoming quite annoying!! All help greatfully recieved, Keith. |

This is common, I'm always working on computers with Norton where its permanently disabled and cannot be enabled. Lots of Av's have bugs like this.

I use Avast and it always detects and removes any problems with ease, when it some cases I have found other Av's to detect stuff and have problems removing it. It has also never disabled itself on me ever. I'd recommend installing it and running a scan, its free. My System: Hybr!d

Ya man, all updated to the newest version, it just tells me that 'an error has occured while tried to secure my system' . Really puzzles me tho why it only does it at the initial start up.
Will do dave, cheers. |

Will do when me subscription is up but I'm paid up till november!! I'm just downloading the avast 1 so if I like it I may just uninstall EZ and see how it goes.
Can you recommend a good package? Not bothered about paying, but don't want my system slowing down! My brother uses Mcaffe and I cannot believe how it slugs his system!!! Keith. |

Paid up or not its not working so junk it mate, you have nothing to lose.
Mcafee and Norton are both shit and slow you PC down. Like I said Avast is free and I use it religiously, even if the paid ones were free I'd still use it. Paid isn't always better. Like I say to everyone is Av's are like cars, 10 years ago just because skoda could make cars doesn't mean they are any good. |

If you need a firewall get Commodo, it's free too.

Thats quality guys. Thanx. Ran the Avast ( twice ) and it found nothing. Does the Avast give real time protection? Only thing I found was that the interface is a little tricky to use at first.
If I install comodo should I remove the windows firewall? Keith. |
