Free anti-virus software
For my security needs on my personal computer, I use Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus 6.0, with a licence (it comes in a security bundle from my bank in its Internet pack: Carte ou Formule BNP Net). But I am always searching new software for the other computers I have at home. Here are the free opportunities available:
- avast! 4 Home Edition (ALWIL Software);
- BitDefender Free Edition – french website here (SOFTWIN) – you can find other free AV products, like AV for instant messaging (ICQ, Yahoo!, MSNm), IRC (mIRC) and Netmeeting;
- AntiVir Personal Edition (H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH) – well, I do not love the look and feel of this tools, but it seems to work well;
Other tools:
- HandyBits VirusScan Integrator – “Some antiviral programs are good for one type of viruses, other programs for other viruses. With VirusScan Integrator you multiply strengths of each antiviral program.”
- BigFix Consumer Edition (BigFix, Inc.).
You can find more tools on the FRAMASOFT website (where you can find a database of free tools available on the net).
