Why do people pay for antivirus software if there are good ones available for free? What is the difference in the A/V software you pay 40 bucks a year for versus the ones you download for free from cnet.com?

What free antivirus is GOOD and compatible with Zone Alarm Pro? I have Zone Alarm Pro and AVG 7.5 which keeps saying that after May 31, I'll have to upgrade to AVG 8, which from reading reviews I understand is CRAP.

I've read both good and bad reviews on McAfee and Norton software, and am thinking of purchasing a Webroot brand program. Is this a wise choice? What do I need to know about upgrades and such?

I have Norton 2007, started using AVG AV+anti-spyware. Should I just un the Norton? I posted a question about AVG AV and antispyware. I have gotten some great advice. I have Norton 2007, should i just use that instead of messing with some fo these freeware's that are lighter(and i thought were better, the freeware) or so i was told. Saw PCworld's reviews on the paid and free antivirus, so i know which was im leaning, but i want to know if maybe there is something i dont know. Im not running Norton right now. I am running AVG only. I was disappointed with Norton when i received a new pc and got slammed with spyware.

Why all come quickly and say free ones?!!! Really worth 10 points!? When ever I ask about a specific antivirus, all people come quickly and say free ones free ones and specially AVG.....why people like free ones the most?because it's just free?or they really provide superior protection? According to many reviews, AVG can detect 88% of computer viruses. ...and in my openion this is a low rating.

Info on AVG AntiVirus Software? I am looking for any information, good or bad, that you can give me on AVG AntiVirus Software. I have done google searches but I can't find many reviews. I would not be going with the free version as it does not have any spyware protection. If anyone can recomend any other VP or let me know which ones *not* to use, that would also be appreciated. I work in a small sign shop. We would need something that could be used on multiple computers (4). My boss is looking for more than free coverage but doesn't want to spend ton of cash on it either. We currently have Norton but he had heard good things about AVG so wanted to look into the option.

What Internet security suites for 2007 are the best for window XP home edition? I have spent two days trying to look up different security suites. I have tryed CNET and other sites but they are all full of it. The editors always have there favorit picks (who ever pays them the most), but the user reviews are often less than half of what the editors give. For example: I checked Norton 360 on CNET. The editor gives it a score of 8.0 out of a possible 10. The users give it a 4.2 out of 10 with 174 users voting. I have always used Norton AntiVirus but was never happy with it, and thought now was a good time to change. Please people I could really use some help. By the way I will also be adding my sons computer, as soon as I get the wireless router connected. Thanks for your help.....Scott By the way this is the second time I posted the same question. The first time ( last night) closed for some reson, I don't know what I did wrong. Also I am not looking for free programs ect. Thanks again.....Scott

Online Armor Review? Avira Confliction? Hi, I downloaded Online Armor recently and I was wondering if it was the most secure (free) firewall I can get or if I should revert to Comodo. Also if you know if OA conflicts with Avira AntiVirus then let me know ^_^. Thanks in advance. SBC

Why might I want to dump Norton? I've not had any problems with Norton antivirus and firewall, but lately I’ve been seeing people talking about how it slows your system way down. So I'm wondering what I should replace them with that are just as good. I know about AVG, but is it popular simply because it's free? What firewall should I pair it up with? Is Zone Alarm any good or is its popularity only stemmed from the fact that it's free too. What are some others you've used and recommend? Also if you can't tell me in 10 lines of text you will get a thumbs down. Unless your explaining your experiences with that product. I don't want an answer of a list of 100 products like I've seen that girl "Cutie" do. I want an honest review.

Which Antivirus should I use? I want to install free anti virus software. I intend using the free Norton On Demand scan from the Google pack (because it doesn't interfere with other software). I have a problem with the second one though. Should I use AVG, AOL's McAfee or Avira AntiVir Personal Edition? I already have McAfee enterprise edition installed (ver 8.5i). That isn't free, its licensed by my company, but I discovered it has its limitations. I'd like to get some sites with good reviews. Thanks a lot guys.

Internet security questions? As my free Norton trial that I got with my laptop expires tomorrow, I have a few questions for new stuff. Sadly, I cannot afford to re-up with Norton, so I downloaded a few free items, after of course carefully reading customer reviews and so on. Questions are as follows: 1-- I have antivirus, firewall, and pop-up block. What else do I NEED or do you recommend? 2-- How often should I run spyware removal? 3-- Will my trial Norton automatically uninstall, or do I need to do that? If I need to, can I do it now or should I wait until it expires? Thanks all!

Rating virus/Antispyware/Adware programs? I'm trying to protect my computer with the best (free) programs that I can. I have Norton that came with my computers' software bundle, but it's a resource hog and is huge. I've been looking at these for AntiVirus: AVG - I've tried it already, though a lot of people said it's not that great and doesn't pick up a lot of viruses very well). Avast - I have tried this one as well...but just the same as with AVG, a lot of people said it wasn't all that great at picking up various viruses. Trend Micro - I know they have been around for a very long time (I know of them by the years-old name "PC-Cillin" Antivirus). Nod32 - Not sure if this one costs to buy it...haven't looked into it yet, but a lot of people seemed to like it in reviews that I have red. Never heard of it. Bit Defender: Apparently this is a free version of some kind of antivirus/antispyware program by Microsoft. It seemed to get good reviews, though. Computer Associates: Haven't tried them before. People seem rather iffy towards them. For Antispyware, I've been looking at: Spybot Search and Destroy (This seemed to get really good reviews). AdAware 2007 (I've tried this...it's pretty awesome and will definitely be one of the programs I get, either way). Windows Defender: Never tried it, and I'm not sure how well it actually works. Trend Micro HiJackThis 2.02 - Never tried it. Any ideas? SuperAntispyware - This seemed to also get some of the top reviews, mentioned in a lot of places. Firewall: The only thing I've found so far that seems to be 'free and popular' is Zone Alarm Basic/Free Edition. Any ideas on this? I really don't like that dumb windows firewall...I've heard that it's really weak. One remaining question...can I run multiples of each program category on the same computer? Such as...AVG, Avast and BitDefender....and Spyspot Search and Destroy, AdAware2007, and SuperAntispyware... And Zone alarm basic...all on the same computer? Or will they conflict with each other and pick up each other's definition files that show up as a virus or spyware? I'm running on a 1.8GHz processor, 2 Gigs of RAM...and a massive 256MB GeForce card to take care of on-screen graphics. So theoretically hardware-wise, this computer should be fine if the softwares don't conflict with each other.

Should i keep the Verizon Internet Security suite??? I'm trying to decide if i should stick to the Verizon Internet Security Suite for my Verizon DSL? or should i switch to some other software program???? I'm not very savvy when it comes to this kind of stuff, so your help is appreciated. What would you recommend?? I want a software that will go good with my DSL, oh! and i have two computers so i'll need something that will support them both {please tell me if i'll have to buy a second CD-antivirus software for the second computer}. And let me tell you this, i'm willing to pay money for the best anti-virus software SO PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST ANY OF THAT AVG SH*T OR ANY OTHER FREE ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE! I don't belive in free things at all, i have seen the reviews on AVG and other free anti-virus but they are rated as average and not "highly recommended".

What anti spyware/adware ? What anti spyware/adware would compliment my Firefox browser with AVG antivirus. I was using Mcafee suite......god that was slow. Ideally I would like total protection, free possibly.....is there one product I could purchase that would deal with adware and spyware....I did see good reviews for Spyware Doctor. Thanks

BitDefender? Reviews? How do you guys feel about BitDefender? Is it a good antivirus program? Would you pay for it? And uhh, just for the sake of curiosity.. is it possible to get the full version of BitDefender for free, or will it be infested with virii and not work because of activation, updates, etc? Thanks in advance!
