Hi-
I am a happy ex-aol user who is about to loose the wonderful (free) Mcafee anti virus suite.
I currently have:
System - Compaq Presario
O/S - Windows XP
Internet - Verizon DSL
Protection: Mcafee suite + SpyBot
Im looking for a simple and free replacement. Here is what I came up with so far:
Antivirus - AVG Firewall - Zone Alarm Spyware - Spybot
MalWare/Adware - ???
Please advise if I am missing something.
Thanks-this is a great forum!!
Both Antivir and Comodo are the best of their kind. Both are low-resource consuming, excellent detection for Antivir (look here: www.av-comparatives.org), and Comodo is a great firewall.
Life is but a dream; you dont feel any pain unless you want to or you fall off the bed. Success is relative; the more success the more relatives.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kickboxing. To be or not to be; thats a dumb question.
Thank you for the advise.
When I had Mcaffe, it was pretty much automatic protection.
Do I have to do any manual updates with the products that you recommend?
I run sprbot every once in a while now.
