From: David H. Lipman on 8 Feb 2010 16:31 From: "Eric Allen" <eric-allen(a)peoplepc.com> | Out of curiosity, which avti-virus program is better, Avast or AVG ? There is no such word as virii or viri in crrelation to computers. The plural of 'virus' is viruses. http://homepages.tesco.net/~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/plural-of-virus.html http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/plural-of-virus.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_of_virus Avira AntiVir is better than both Avast and AVG. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
