1171358 2011-01-21 01:18:00 Hi all
I'm sick of the main antivirus software programs always looking for new ways to take my money. Is there a decent free antivirus software out there that works?

Also whats the best Youtube video grabber for Mozilla?

Thanks

1171362 2011-01-22 19:11:00 There is a new version of MSE, as well. It adds heuristics and network protection. linw (53)
1171363 2011-01-22 22:29:00 I'm using Avira Anti Virus free version.
I like the way it runs etc and the daily upgrade is fairly unobstrusive imho.

I would not use any MS anti-virus program on principal.

Stay away from AVG as its just bloatware, and they don't support their users.

And Norton used to be the biggest pile of bloatware there was.

So Windows being marketed by Microsoft can we assume you also don't use that on principle as well?

1171365 2011-01-22 22:48:00 No I am only 99% principled, and that is my one percent exception, along with Office. Digby (677)
1171366 2011-01-22 23:27:00 So its 98% then :p

MS's Antivirus isn't to bad for a free one.

Haven't tried Avira as a test for a while now -- hope they have improved over how useless it was.
