Title: A good Free antivirus anybody?
Post by: ZEGH8578 on April 08, 2011, 06:05:24 AM

Not AVG, it hogs my memory
Not Avast, for some reason, i cant install the latest one. the installer refuses to work, and i cant be bothered w it
and not Avira, because it keeps identifying my no-cd cracks as viruses...

You might want to investigate what's wrong with your system first. Not many AVs left to suggest.

(btw, ive no idea why i posted this here :D)

and hm... crap... AVG has always hogged my system, both this computer and the previous.
i read other complaints about avira deleting peoples game exe's, even in their own forums, they simply say they "dont support pirated software"........

there should be more than these 3?? :/

Free AVs? I'm sure there are others but you did list those that are considered to be the best.

Ah, yes, forgot about MSE.

MSE is good, too.

For me, top 3 would be Avast, MSE, and Avira.

Definitely MSE, I've been using that for the past couple of months and already I got the good impression out of it, it's also pretty lightweight and I think if I recall correctly they use so many different databases from different antivirus programs put together?
