is it any good before i put it on
No it’s rubbish and you may have problems with it
There is a very good FREE anti-virus programme at the link below. It works on any ISP, not just NTL.
I’ve used it for several years with no problems.
Almost all of the software I use is free.
My security suite utilises, among others:-
Free AVG.
Sygate Personal Firewall
Ad-Aware SE
Spybot S & D,
all free, all legal, no pirating of software involved.
They don’t come with all the bells and whistles you could possiblly want, but they do the job they are intended for, keeping your computer clear of viruses, spy ware, dodgy advertising, etc and safe.
