Trying them yourself and deciding which is right for you is excellent advice for almost all kinds of software. But the one kind of software where I think it's poor advice (very poor advice) is security software. The don't all work equally well, and it's very difficult to determine for yourself how well each of them works. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
From: Tim Meddick on 22 Feb 2010 14:17 Surfer, I have used AVG [free] for the past eight years, and have found it to be very reliable. However, it is a product from a company with commercial interests and, as such, does contain an element of advertising of it's paid-for sister software. These "reminders" are sometimes called "nag" screens, and can be an inconvenient distraction. I have heard of the recent release of Microsoft's first venture into creating a fully-functional anti-virus program - Microsoft's Security Essentials (MSSE). I am tempted to try MSSE but would like to hear some feedback on it's use, if I can, before I change from an AV that has protected my PC effectively and caught many would-be attacks in the past... AVG 9.0 [free] : http://free.avg.com/download-file-ins-afg-free MSSE : http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/3/8/A38FFBF2-1122-48B4-AF60-E44F6DC28BD8/mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-xp.exe == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Surfer Joe" <lortega(a)ntlworld.com> wrote in message news:t7zgn.18797$X_6.17684(a)newsfe22.ams2... > On 22/02/2010 15:02, Ken Blake, MVP wrote: >> >> On Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:41:34 -0600, Roy Smith<rasmith1959(a)live.com> >> wrote: >> >>> On 2/21/2010 6:09 PM, Surfer Joe wrote: >>>> Can anyone please suggest a good free antivirus? >>>> I'm tired of paying for norton. >>> >>> There are several to choose from.
