Moderators hazelnut Posted April 28, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 28, 2012 In a deal with certain companies Facebook users can download some well know av's free for 6 months plus a link for MSE. They are also going to be able to use those companies URL blacklists as well as their own. Anything that helps folk stay virus free has got be be seen as a plus I guess. The other thought I had was it gives those av companies lots of airplay. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57421028-83/facebook-inks-deal-with-mcafee-symantec-others-for-free-antivirus/?part=rss&subj=software&tag=title&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+cnet%2FxWjr+%28Software%29 Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 . . . Anything that helps folk stay virus free has got be be seen as a plus I guess. The other thought I had was it gives those av companies lots of airplay. . . . Good find, Hazel. Another thought I had was that a lot of people won't know how difficult those AVs are to remove when the trial runs out. Still a good thing, I guess, if it finds some lurking nasties that would have gotten away. 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.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 29, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2012 MSE is however easy to fully remove! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm generally against paying for antivirus but I found this to be too good to pass up: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832562001 $23 for a lifetime subscription to malware bytes. This is one of the few AV programs I feel is worthy of monetary support and under 25 for lifetime support is crazy cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted May 2, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yes but technically MBAM is not an anti-virus and should be run alongside one. However that is a cracking price for a must-have app Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted May 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2012 True, I guess I should have said this was perfect to suplement Security Essentials which is already free(and probably on most Windows 7 PCs through auto updates by now) I haven't used an AV other than Security Essentials since Windows 7 came out.
