Since the free version of AVG will be pulled off next January 15, I'd like to know what free antivirus you guys recommend. Thanks

You should give Avast a try.
I've been using it for a while now and I like it.

Consider using Zonealarm or Pandasoftware.

GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and full compatibility with the latest Windows Vista version is available. Users that are using AVG Free 7.1 will be provided with a specific dialog, within the next few weeks, with the opportunity to choose the right option fulfilling their needs. AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007.

Doesn't that mean version 7.1 will be discontinued, and you can use version 7.5 for free?

Avast is still a better choice tho

Grisoft is not doing away with the AVG free version, there is just a new version of it and you need to upgrade prior to Jan 15

December 12, 2006 - In the latest Virus Bulletin tests (December 2006, Windows XP x64 platform) avast! 4 Pro again detected all ItW viruses (i.e. viruses known to be 'in the wild') and was given another VB100% award!

I used to have Kaspersky...But my license expired, and the new version did crash pretty often for me...Dunno why exactly. That's why I switched...I would advise to try kaspersky trial...When it works, but that one....It's sooooo good

NemesiS876 · 12-15-2006, 06:01 PM

Nod 32, whit zonelabs in www.phazeddl.com

FelixFlow · 12-15-2006, 06:19 PM

why would anyone want a free antivirus program to protect their computer?

if there's any program you're gonna spend money on, a good antivirus is one of them

Miura · 12-15-2006, 06:25 PM

Avast for sure.

notabook · 12-15-2006, 10:36 PM

From that eset.com place, one of their graphs shows resource utilization. Resource Utilization - 1308% for Symantec... what? How can you get above 100% resources... ???

jollyperv · 12-15-2006, 10:44 PM
