I'm looking for a free antivirus and it seems to be a tough hunt. Do you mean a free AV to monitor RAM and scan any file that is accessed/opened using a downloadable/updatable database or something that uploads all your file hashes(and sometimes files), emails and browsing links to government-funded corporations ? If the former, I don't think they exist anymore. They were true AV apps. The latter make more money selling your personal info that from selling licenses. If you don't believe me , read the TOS. https://www.avg.com/en-gb/windows-xp-antivirus The download is a 7MB trojan. The real installer is he https://install.avcdn.net/avg/iavs9x...up_offline.exe Almost 400MB. WOW !!!! []'s I got disenchanted with Kaspersky sticking his stick into my spokes and thought I'd try the 400MB AVG download. When run get "not a valid Win 32 Application". A rescue CD will scan any OS, and cannot be blocked by rootkits, because you set it as the boot system in BIOS. They are usually large downloads .... and include the latest AV sig files. Kaspersky makes a good one. You don't need an Internet connection to run it, in fact, I recommend you unplug the network. https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/krd18 You can either burn it to a DVD or to a USB (use freeware Rufus in ISO mode for that). PS Last Rufus to run under XP was version 2.18 http://rufus.ie/downloads/ Prefer the portable version. https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/rel...ufus-2.18p.exe []'s -- Don't be evil - Google 2004 We have a new policy - Google 2012 |
