How to protect computer from viruses (free antivirus)
October 7th, 2009
Having found a solution that suggest us what websites should be secure to view, another question related to internet security is about viruses, worm, and others malware that tend to propagate over the Internet: is there a valid software antivirus (that usually searches not only for viruses, but is a jargon term) really free available?The answer is obviously yes, and for selecting what kind is not so difficult since the number of free antivirus is little: Antivir, AVG, AVAST, ClaimAV are the most famous, but for me and for others well known and reliable source such as Tom’s Guide , the best is Antivir.
The only price to pay for using Antivir is to view a (secure) banner every time when Windows start.
Avira Antivir Personal is however free only for single computer use for home and non commercial use, so that public no-profit association seems to be excluded from the “free of charge feature”.
Is a fortune that Microsoft in these days, Microsoft decided to give to all Windows users his antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials. It can be downloaded for free of charge and without limitation relative to its use.
I think that Avg is the best of the free antiviruses, but antivir is good too.
Thank’s for comment.
Have you read the “Tom’s Guide Comparison”?.
