What is a good, free, Anti virus / Anti Spyware?
Nick F asked:
I currently have Zone Alarm pro installed on my computer. I heard that it wasn’t good. I need a free, great Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware to go with my Zone Alarm. Or a free way to get paid Anti-Virus/ Anti-Spyware programs

zone alarm pro is a pretty good firewall. Its not the best but its pretty good. The best current firewall is the online armor firewall. the best free one is the outpost firewall.
For an antivirus, i suggest u do this:
1. Get ESET NOD32
2. If you want free serials, simply go to nod321.com there are tons of them
3. If you dont wanna do this, Avira is the best free antivirus. it detects very well for a free AV.

I’ve been removing malware for over a decade and know what works, and what doesn’t. If you really can’t spend any money, get Microsoft Security Essentials. It competes with the paid software and will detect all types of malware.
AVG- Lacks rootkit detection, which is critical. I’ve had clients come in complaining AVG won’t update because it had been hijacked.
Avast- No proactive protection, such as HIPS or heuristics. This is also critical since it WILL NOT protect you against new/unknown malware.
Avira- Displays a lot of ads to pay for the free version. It also struggles to detect adware and some forms of spyware (like rogues).
You get what you pay for. If you can afford it, I highly recommend buying Norton Internet Security 2009 or Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. Both programs have far superior detection rates compared to AVG, Avast or Avira.
Oh, and MalwareBytes free and SUPERAntiSpyware free don’t offer real time protection, so don’t use them as your main AV.
