[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]You use the free options that Comodo provides, correct? What's the catch? How can they offer all this stuff for free?

I was using Nortons, but figured I would try something different. So until tomorrow, I am using AVG. It expires tomorrow. I tested AVG for a year and like Nortons better, so instead of renewing my AVG, I am letting it run out and getting Nortons again.
Wow you sure do have a lot to learn about Antivirus software don't you. Sorry, but they do remove the virus. I mean really, what would be the point in having an antivirus software if it didn't remove them. I find it amusing that you think they don't.Wow, am I the only one here that doesn't use an anti-virus program? Like, none whatsoever? I don't feel the need to use one... I mean, if you DO get a virus, antivirus programs can't do jack about it, since you've already gotten it. All they can do it tell you about the virus. By then, it's attached itself to other system files. I know they can stop virus pfrom executing, but I'd rather not have an anti-virus hog my system resources all the time, like they always used to when I used to use them.
If I get a virus, I reformat! Done! I keep all my stuff on an external drive, so it's nothing.

Allow me to quote myself again, for you.

There ya go.
[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"]Avast. I have no idea if it does anything, though. kerk12Believe me. It does. Best free antivirus out there. But that's just me :P. All ratings say it's far from the best however unlike others i've tried it dosn't upset any other programs. It's worth looking at Threatfire (heuteristics only) to complement it, it's far from perfect and will turn up false positives but it'll pick up things Avast dosn't.
I've used a lot, I liked kaspersky but it ran out, so i basically tried the trials for everything :P at the moment i'm on Vipre and it's not bad. Apart from trying to scan at the exact times i don't want it to...
Actually if you look into it you'll find that it's rare for AV to be able to remove a virus from an active scan properly. From passive mode they work quite well at aborting connections but quite often with active scans it'll say it's removed but the files are really still there if you put in the effort to look for them.Wow you sure do have a lot to learn about Antivirus software don't you.

I'm using an antivirus program. That's all you need to know. If I told you what exactly the antivirus program is then you or someone else will probably just create a virus that will be immune to my antivirus program
