Free Antivirus

But what I meant' was is you manage to get a license key for their free version of the program.   

NO the Internet Security
But I think its too much bloated
I think I should try Antivirus Pro
Which do you prefer to ME?

Well, if we talk about Internet Security...and having a paid version (no matter how yo got it)  Then I'm not
so sure anymore. I was for the longest time a big fan of F-Secure, but as time went by, it just got bigger and
bigger, and took too much resources from the machine. So that was the point I went over to Avast instead.
(If I were to get a total package today, it would probably still be F-Secure, simply because of familiarity!)

@bubster

Do they still have the sandbox mode in the new free version?

Sounds good just for that.

I was just there, Sandbox mode is not included in the free version.

Hey, guys! Glad I found this forum...

I've been using avast for a couple of years now though I used nod32 before. Avast is a really good one but I think I'll give Avira a try. Some of my buddies said that it doesn't take much from the system so it'll be good for older PCs...

Hello everybody.

I'll speak only about taking much from system resources, but with PAID one :

My favorite AntiVirus is ESET NOD32 which I've been using for about 7 years.. with no one problem.. and just for information, I think the oldest PC among us is MINE  . Yet, I don't feel any slowness on my PC.
I really like it very much specially, the Smart Security version which includes a firewall to be a complete internet security program.

BTW, it has very advanced features and a lot of options for advanced users to adjust it as they like.

This is just my opinion and I respect others  .. I don't say that other AntiVirus programs are bad, but this is what I'm familiar and satisfied with.

Wish you all the best.

Can you recommend a good torrent for nod32? I use different AV's for each of our family members' desktops, laptop & netbook.

Doesn't surprise me a bit. They are hungry for money no, and do everything they can to get people to pay for their stuff instead. So
happy that I changed to Avira.

May I ask, how much do you pay a year (or a month) for updates to NOD32? As you're aware, the initial price is one thing, but if they don't update your definitions, you've done nothing. I guess it shouldn't be too much. Also, can you pay them in Egyptian pounds or do you have to run out and buy foreign currency?

By now, I'm pretty much familiar with AVAST features but I want to try Avira on my sis' netbook. Does Avira also have Site Blocking & Browser Protection?
