hi,
tx for the above mate.but i downloaded the set up file twice and its not working.I did that from their site itself.

What is the problem with the downloaded file? It could be corrupt, try to get an alternative download location by searching the file at www.filemirrors.com

I personally haven't tried Avast, but I use AVG and it is pretty fast and an efficient antivirus. Another populour free AV is Antivir PE ...

Some of the available Free Antiviruses:-
AVG 7 Free
BitDefender 7 Free
AntiVir PE
Avast Home Edition
Handy Bits VirusScan
ClamWin
VCatch Basic.

BitDefender and AVG are the best Free AV.

lol..
it isnt anywhere near the best u can have for ur PC.
Try KAV.
But avasst is the best u can get for free.

KAV is cool but it's too slow
i find avg cool as we have regular updates and it's light on the system too

..:: peace ::..

Hmm

JEba., KAV is light on system too, ya most of the AV takes time to check out for threats...also KAV has 3hr. update for definitions...

Check this site for Free AV guide...

For once grudge is right. *www.cafe18.uni.cc/images/smilies/clap.gif
KAV is the best,and it has most frequent updates cycle of 3 hrs.*www.cafe18.uni.cc/images/smilies/snack.gif

HMM, indy, dont know what prompted u to say this...

I say FF is better than opera becoz it really is, and also KAV is better than the rest so it is....

HAha indy, dont ever say like this that to a doctor!

 

[indyeah]

lol

everyone seems to have their own likes and dislikes which is so very obvious. I use AntiVir PE...great, light and best for me

Zonealarm

Why doesn't anyone mention ZoneAlarm Security Suite. It prevents entry of virus in the first place with its firewall and Real-Time Scan. Moreover, it has quick updates.
The only thing i dont like about it is minor upgrades. I have to download the whole 16 Mb file each time i want to upgrade my firewall.
Guess what, i have free upgrades for 144 years. Thanks to crackers but I dont encourage anyone ro use cracks and illegal progs.

 

[techno_funky]

ok i moved over from KAV ate my memory as usual
and had some updating problems
so got AVAST
and "iam loving it" CHAK DE!!!!
