It's among the poorest AVs as far as I'm concerned. > What or which kind of Anti-Virus, preferrably 'free.' I need only > 'simple/basis' form of Anti-Virus. For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend one (only one; never install more than one) of the following three: Avira Avast Microsoft Security Essentials You also need anti-spyware software. I recommend that you download and install (both freeware) MalwareBytes AntiMalware *and* SuperAntiSpyware. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
