Free antivirus for non-profit organization? in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r18039079 en Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:00:04 EDT Thu, 10 Dec 2009 18:00:04 EDT Re: Free antivirus for non-profit organization? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18044147 arggem : That's not really surprising I guess, yet I still find it astoundingly amazing. Absolutely no protection...and they probably click on any old attachment that comes down the pike.

I pity your IT duties in a setting like that (which obviously have absolutely NOTHING to do with your training or job description I'm sure! :))]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18044147 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 10:05:08 EDT Re: Free antivirus for non-profit organization? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18044087 oneeyeddeer : You guys are great! Thanks for all the suggestions. I was in a real bind yesterday (I found out that 3 of the computers on the network weren't running any type of AVS at all!!) and so I downloaded AOL's AVS, Active Virus Shield. »www.activevirusshield.com/antivi···dex.adp?

Obviously, I had reservations about using anything with those three letters attached to it, but I found some pretty good reviews on here, plus the fact that it's a trimmed down version of Kaspersky. I figured it was better than nothing, at least for the time being.

Does anyone have any experience with it? I checked out your suggestions and Comodo looked pretty good. Maybe I'll give that a try too.

Thanks for your help. I'm the unofficial IT person here and rely pretty heavily on this site. DSLR rocks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18044087 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 09:51:34 EDT Re: Free antivirus for non-profit organization? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18041873 someuser : I know the OP is looking for free software, but a good resource for non-profit organizations is TechSoup:

Yeah, I know, but I read their Terms and they specify that institutions, even non-profit ones, still need to purchase the product. Like I said in my original post, they do offer 50% discounts, but I would like to find something I can use for free.
Ahh, I see. Didn't think of that. :)

Avast free and Avast Pro are almost identical.

I know that AVG and Avast offer 50% off to non-profits and charitable organizations, but I am wondering if anyone knows of a good antivirus program that offers free products to non-profits.

Thanks in advance! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18039079 Wed, 21 Mar 2007 12:30:24 EDT
