Where can I find Antivirus Programs?
It's a sad fact of online life - sooner or later you'll get hit
with a virus...or maybe you think you already have one (or more)
in your computer.
Now that you've accepted that fact, here are some things you can do.
There are a number of programs out there that that do a great
job of finding, containing and eliminating viruses. And oddly enough,
some are FREE!
Here are some pointers to help you in locating only a few of the many Antivirus Programs and information pages:
BuffNET neither endorses nor operates any of the
links / webpages / programs listed below.
They are maintained by the individual companies.
Any comments, complaints or correspondence regarding them
should be directed to the individual company listed.

Virus hoax information
If someone forwards a virus warning to you, first ask yourself
the following questions:
-
Did a genuine computer security expert send the alert?
-
What are the qualifications of the person that DID send it?
-
Does it urge you to forward the chain letter to everyone you
know?
-
Does the email offer a link to an authoritative details page?
-
Some email hoaxes tell you to delete various files in your
computer, and do it RIGHT NOW! --But why?
