| 422467 | 2006-01-19 03:16:00 | AVG and Avast rank pretty high around here. All the others suck, I have tried many, back when I couldnt afford to pay I found AVG did the best job for me. Now I run NOD32. Whenever I have to clean out a computer of virus/spyware infection, NOD32 is the tool of choice, if they cannot afford this, they suffer or go elsewhere, this saves much time and effort on my behalf. |

Look at it another way, whats the cost of trashed files and a trashed system as comapared to the minimal subscription of, say, NOD32? A: Frekin heaps whatever way you look at it . |

There are some great free AV programs out there such as Avast and AVG. You just can't understand why they are free, I will attempt to explain there marketing in a short simplified paragraph. They rely on spreading there Name/Product through the home user free addition but charge corporates/Enterprise companies for other versions (same thing bit more functionality). ie, home user Network Administrator likes AVG free so he talks his company into purchasing it etc. Just because you pay for it doesnt make it good, IE Norton's. The so called "free" business model is actually very smart marketing. |
