Hey whats a good free virus program.. i have full Norton, but it seems to be .. in the last week I've lost my wow account and my facebook. (got both back.. but I must have something that's not being picked up by Norton)
When I got the WoW acct back I was talking to service for Blizzard and they think it was the client used to auto update my addons that did it. I just erased it, but no virus was ever picked up before or after. Not sure if its still on the puter or not. Norton is usually pretty good about finding stuff. I figure the largest company should be the most up to date, yadda yadda yadda.
But at this point, this old laptop can't even play wow anymore. haha
haha. Yea, Norton is good too, it's become such a hog though. So bloated, and runs so much that it eats away so much memory and slows down your pc, which is even worse for old one's. I try to find good solid, but "lean" av's for my own pc's.
Which wow update client were you using?

It was the Curse client
It was the Curse client
Really? I use the same one, and haven't had mine stolen. (afaik, I haven't logged into Wow in years for the most part)
I guess curse is all p2p and if u want it right from revs u gotta do it manually
It's been so long I can't even remember, when you make any major acct changes for WoW, don't they email ya some sort of confirmation notice?
Also, how'd ya get your Facebook acct back so quick? I keep hearing nightmares about people never hearing back from Facebook support about their stolen Facebook accounts? Ya have to send them a pic of you or anything, to get it verified it was yours?

I just went on Facebook followed the step by step directions to change password and it was pretty much fixed instantly. Maybe I caught it before it was flagged spam. That's how I got my wow account fixed so quick.
I use Avast! Free. I love it. I run MalwareBytes and Superantipsyware about once a month to make sure nothing slipped through. I haven't had any problems in quite some time. I also use Comodo Firewall but not the same full product that Dogg uses.

I use the Free version of Comodo Internet Security. it has an antivirus in it. I havent done any battle testing how it compares with all the others antiviruses but I havent had a virus since around 1997, and that was just because I was being daring on a file I knew was prob a virus and ran it anyway,
