Virus protection question
- Thread starter Toadman
- Start date
AVG is good.
Check out the one from Comodo. I use their free firewall program on my laptop along with NOD32 antivirus, but I do use Comodo's combined firewall and antivirus on my desktop. It is actually a great alternative to the commonly know antivirus suites.
You can download their free antivirus program from HERE.
I run Malwarebytes myself, and sometimes run AVG scans if I do think I have a virus. Only bad thing about AVG is that it's a resource hog if you turn on real-time protection, slows my machine down, so I turn that feature off. I did purchase a full license for M-Bytes but I ran for free for a couple of years. It has a good real time protection of it's own. I mainly let my DSL provider's filter do most of the security, and periodically sweep using AVG Free and Malwarebytes. You of course know that none of the AV software defeats the pirates bad work all by itself. I like M-bytes and AVG free(w/o the resident shield.) Do your updates though. martin

I just had to renew my avast a few weeks back, I've been using it for quite a while and it's free to boot. It's rate pretty high which is surprising for a free program. Rick if you're using the full version (avast for business) then it costs though, it all depends if you use your home computer for business or not.

I never run any at all, but I don't go to those questionable sites I don't even my space or face book. Been running this computer for 3 years without problem. I used to do alot of gaming so that really slows down the computer, since I started detecting I haven't played any games since.
