Tasgandy Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 How effective is free antivirus software? I have often wondered about the above question as I not only use "Free" antivirus software but also put my hand in my pocket for "Paid for" antivirus SW and I found this report an interesting read. MSE Vs McAfee Also interesting as I have now scaled my business activities down considerably and now count my $$$$. Mind you I am not saying that the report is the gospel truth, it is just one side of the argument, food for thought.

Winapp2.ini Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 MSE has earned critical acclaim recently, and from all I've seen about it, with good reason. makes sense MS could make something that detects exploits in.. its own operation system winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroozer Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I've been enjoying the good reports about MSE, but still quite happy with Avast. There are so many good free security programs that I'm amazed home users will actually buy the stuff. Effective advertising hype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 16, 2010 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2010 We're just lucky there's so many good free alternatives nowadays. Looking back some ten or so years there was a huge void in freeware av with little to choose from, and most of it being CLI or DOS-based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and fortunate that the Piri owners allow this forum to discuss them. Great Source of information. Many people I know don't know whats available free, and many think that if it's free, it can't be much good. Thanks Tasgandy. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.
