  AVG. Free. Zero problems in 4 years.

  A lot of folks use the FREE AVG,

  I prefer Kaspersky or Trend Micro.

  Hate to say I agree with the ASS boy but in this case he is correct, Symantec and McAfee are both worthless and hog too many resources.

  Oh and BTW I've been in I.T. since 1973, I was a Data Systems tech in the Navy in the early 70s and have worked in the IT/Telecom industry ever since.

  I was on the Internet before it WAS the internet. Arpanet and the unix command line.....

  Well, in the process of using it now (AVG Free), once updates and scans are completed, will shut of 360 and see if game play is more consistent.

  PS....I ran a Reg scan about 4 weeks ago, and cleaned/repaired around 1200 files with Norton, just did it with AVG and it repaired 1650 or so.

  If you are talking FREE AV programs, Avast or AVG.  Both are good.

  Well, WGT replied to my email Friday night.  Here is the response:

  Thanks for the report, we have acted on numerous reports from players to remove the questionable ad being served.
  
  WGT Support

  So according to that, I would say no one should see this issue anymore....but who knows....
