No never. I use Bit Defender and never have any problems when going to the free embroidery sites. Maybe you should try it next year. I am ussing it for the last 5 years and am very satisfied with it.

no cracker, any problem, all is ok... :o)

No problem here...sorry you are having problems.

No, no problem at all, sorry you are having problems with your computer.***

I use AVG a freeware antivirus software. The link is..
WWW.free-avg.com Its for personal use only.
Spyware Terminator is also a freeware software. Don't have the link for this. If you are not in broadband you will have to do the update manually. A good free firewall is Zonealarm www.zonealarm.com Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems on the free sites, but recently I had a virus warning from one of the files that had been send to me by a reputable design company. I had paid for those designs. They did resend them and they were clean.

I had a warning once,but sorry don't remember what site it was. But I have a strong anti-virus program so they warn me if it's a virus-site.all the other sites gave me no problems.

I've got good protection on my computer as well, so have had no problems. I'm sorry that you've had to deal with that. Hugs!

Yes I have... but my SW is updated daily and scans all 3 of my computers and external drives nightly...
