Re: Shaw Secure. Anyone use it?

I echo others here. Shaw Secure is based on F-Secure Internet Security. With its connections with Kaspersky, FIS's detection is top-notch, but the program itself weighs heavier than a 10-ton elephant in terms of resource use.

F-Secure's detection is really among the best, if not the best though. As I said earlier, when I had a Virut infection, it went and infected hundreds of files and I couldn't find the original file, but I ran the online F-Secure scanner and it found the file for me.

Anyway, there are better alternatives for free or for money.

Avira AV is free, AVG is free, Avast is free, those 3 are pretty good.
