    Need "free" antivirus!!

    I used to use Inoculate IT, but they must have gone under cause there are no more upgrades. Anyone know of a decent so called "free" antivirus?

    Now, ridding your computer of viruses is even easier, with Panda ActiveScan, the on-line antivirus:
    * Because you don't need to install any programs, just connect to the Internet and simply click whenever you want to clean your computer.
    * Because it scans, disinfects and eliminates viruses from all parts of your system, hard disks, compressed files and all your e-mail.
    * Because it is updated at least once a day, so each scan will be able to detect the very latest viruses.

    I agree with BiPolarBill...

    AVG even out performed Norton, and McAfee!

    and it is FREE!

    Great software, and great price... hard to beat that deal.

    The new online update features in some AVs are great.

    You can buy an old full-version AV out of a $1 bargain bin, then download all the updates and you effectively have the newer, spiffier version that the same software store is probably selling for $50

    inoculate will be ending its free update service this month AVG is an exceptional software package and it ran fast on win2K

    a good move when looking for anything is to start at www.google.com and start with the broadest description and then reduce it to your final need like this
    antiivrus
    windows
    freeware and then this is what you get
    http://www.google.com/search?site=sw...&as_q=freeware

    65,000 hits take your pick
    consultants don't have all the answers, we just know how to find them, all the time

    Been ever so happy with avg. It's picked up virii on friends puters that both norton and wacafee have fallen short of. Funny thing is avg is free and it works better than the ones that cost ya out of pocket.
