I am not impressed with any of the other antivirus products. *** Kaspersky is usually top in detection. Just ahead of BitDefender. *** Plus with Kaspersky you have the option to turn off sending all your Internet activity/unknown files to headquarters. *** Even so, I haven't used a resident AV for ages (5 years?) *** *It's not difficult to avoid malware*. *** []'s That's bullsh*t! If you don't use an anti-virus software programme with Microsoft Windows (before Windows 10) then you won't ever KNOW that your computer is free from malware. If your computer DOES have malware, and you attempt to download the Kaspersky Rescue Disk from here https://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/krd18 You may end up being redirected to a 'spoof' Kaspersky site and be served with a 'doctored' Rescue Disk! You will THINK your machine is clean when, in fact, it remains infected! HTH 1) GOTO Public Library. 2) Download Kaspersky. 3) Burn CD. 4) Thank librarian for being there. ** Go home. Scan machine. This is what friends are for. Thanks, Pal! :-) Sadly, I understand that they don't have Libraries in third world countries like Brazil! ;-) Btw, do you REALLY trust a Russian company?!!! |

Do you know whether there's an anti-virus/spyware/firewallinstallation CD that you can buy where you get free updates forever, or doyou have to pay for updates once a year? | Chris Tsao | General | 12 | November 20th 08 02:26 PM |
