Re: The Best Free Antivirus Program? I've been thinking of the same question because although I run Kaspersky Internet Security 6, I'm a "mature" enough surfer to know how to be careful; besided, my AV, whether it was Avast, KAV, or NOD32 never rang up at all, in spite of the fact that a couple of trojans snuck in there, (with KAV), I don't see the point of paying for AV software anymore.. When my KIS 6 expires I will be taking the freeway.. and I don't mean the one in Los Angeles 
My choices and my impressions..
1. As a Comcast subscriber, I can have the "privilige" of using McAfee Internet Security for free.. »www.comcast.net/security/?CM.src=top Thanks but no thanks...I found it to be a resource hog and it keeps sending me pop ups to be stuff I don't need or want.
The folks at McAfee should read this book here before making such lame attempts to sell their Comcast subscribers more crap...»www.sethgodin.com/permission/
2. Avast. »www.avast.com Not bad, actually. The folks who run this one are great and the program is very good.
3. »www.free-av.com/ Seems to be missing some features... I don't know much about it.
4. »free.grisoft.com/doc/1 Well known AV. Seems a little on the "weak" side, however, I heard it doesn't slow a system down.
5. »www.activevirusshield.com/antivi···dex.adp?
AOL Version of KAV. Very good! However someone at DSLR pointed out you can't exclude a file from being scanned..
Have fun! |
