1984 Posted October 8, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted October 8, 2005 Administrator Share Posted October 8, 2005 I find e-Trust to be better than the others, though a few users report problems with e-Trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Tarun Posted October 14, 2005 Administrator Share Posted October 14, 2005 You can also disable the Security Center's alerts and stop it from loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted October 15, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted October 17, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
