1984 Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Any suggestions to a simple, freeware antivirus? I need a simple version that wont slow down my computer much. Something that doesnt expire if it exists. And a link would help me too. Thanking you all in advance! Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted October 8, 2005 Administrator Posted October 8, 2005 I find e-Trust to be better than the others, though a few users report problems with e-Trust. Quote
1984 Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 i decided to go with avg and will see where that leads me. Thanks for the advice. ;) Quote
DjLizard Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Argh, I've found AVG to be horrible. avast! on the other hand, impresses me. Quote
xd3vilx Posted October 14, 2005 Posted October 14, 2005 hmm...so many positive comment on ez-Trust...i think i will use the 1 year trial just to shut the security center up... Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted October 14, 2005 Administrator Posted October 14, 2005 You can also disable the Security Center's alerts and stop it from loading. Quote
greenknight Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 Argh, I've found AVG to be horrible. avast! on the other hand, impresses me. I've had no major problems with AVG myself, what was so horrible? Quote
DjLizard Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 It kept giving me serious false positives (YOU'VE GOT NIMDA!!!111 wait what, I don't even have IIS), it takes much more resources than the other AVs I was used to, it almost never actually deleted viruses (just showed me where they are and said sorry, can't do it, hey, why not buy AVG full?) and is quite ugly looking (I care too much about interfaces, and AVG has an old school (in a bad way) interface that reminds me of Windows 3.1). I'm seriously jaded about software, so it only takes me about 5 minutes to hate a piece of software if I get a bad first impression. Quote
