Hi- I am a happy ex-aol user who is about to loose the wonderful (free) Mcafee anti virus suite. I currently have: System - Compaq Presario O/S - Windows XP Internet - Verizon DSL Protection: Mcafee suite + SpyBot Im looking for a simple and free replacement. Here is what I came up with so far: Antivirus - AVG Firewall - Zone Alarm Spyware - Spybot MalWare/Adware - ??? Please advise if I am missing something. Thanks-this is a great forum!!
Hey kenmtb Here's what I recommend: Antivirus- Antivir Free Firewall- Comodo Antispyware- Superantispyware and Malwarebytes (both free) Browser Immunization- Spyware Blaster, Advanced Windowscare, Spybot Both Antivir and Comodo are the best of their kind. Both are low-resource consuming, excellent detection for Antivir (look here: www.av-comparatives.org), and Comodo is a great firewall. Best Regards
Thank you for the advise. When I had Mcaffe, it was pretty much automatic protection. Do I have to do any manual updates with the products that you recommend? I run sprbot every once in a while now. Ken
Both Antivir and Comodo are pretty much automatic protection. You have to do manual updates for the rest though. Best Regards
