Computer Security & Viruses/email protection

Question
I did download avira, i was just concerned abt not having email scanner, they offer that at a yearly price.

In your opinon, do you think that is necessary, or will the main email companies like hotmail, gmail, yahoo, and juno have a sufficient email protection. Those are the ones I have.

Or if you know of a good free virus protection program that offers email scanning, i am interested in that as well.

Any tips will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


Answer
hey sallie

yes as a matter of fact these companies all have antivirus scanning from their end and therefore you dont have to worry much about that if you use one of these. on the other hand if you use another service, its best to download AVG free...this one has an email scanner built in.

hope it was of help.
