Re: OT: Free Anti Virus Program
I dont know about panda, but the other two are not AV software, they are antispyware proggys.
AntiVir Personal is a good free antivirus http://www.free-av.com/ |
Re: OT: Free Anti Virus Program
Thanks.
I found a GAME PLANETED unknown trojan on my computer. After hours of investigating it was discovered to be the by product of Secure Rom and or Diablo's latest patch. When Game, Music, and software companies secretly place adware, spyware, and trojans on your computer, they, in my honest opinion, are violating the Use At Own Risk laws that protect them. |
Re: OT: Free Anti Virus Program
SpyBot and Adaware are absolutely crucial pieces of software. They each catch spyware that the other misses.
These days, it is not sufficient to just have an anti-virus program. You need a full suite of protection. Anti-virus, anti-trojan (the better AV programs can handle trojans decently, but will not always be able to eliminate a trojan), and anti-spyware. Using a non-garbage web browser (such as Mozilla Firefox) will prevent a lot of this crap from being able to install itself through web browsing (Internet Explorer is currently the main cause of virus/trojan/spyware infections, seconded by MS Outlook). Additionally, it is a good idea to run a firewall. |

Anti-trojan? Where would I find one of those, perferably free? Why wouldn't mcafeee eliminate it?

Trojans are nasty nasty things. Creators of such things should be casterated with a dull butter knife.
