Avira all the way... bought 1 yr premium subscription 1400 bucks... Its gr8! the free version is also extremely good. No piracy please.

Who says Solaris is complex. Yes it is UNIX so it is as complex as UNIX can be.

I have worked on Solaris shell scripts but I am not much conversant with awk, lex or yacc.

yaar i you want a free antivirus i think avg or avast is best
but free antiviruses donot gaurd your system well as they are free , also u don't get frequent updates and also no guarentee for system crash.
but u can use genuine antivirus ,
well u can use bitdefender antivirus 2008 it is only rs 400 per year .
i am using bitdefender antivirus and my pc is running fantistic.
or u can go for quick heal if u can invest more .
quick heal total security is nearly 1800 rs for one year but it is fantastic as it has a pc to mobile scan , and also many other features.
now the choice is yours
as far as pirated or cracked antiviruses are concerened i am not in favoure of them , as most of them gets blocked when u update them .

@^^^ This is not true in case of avira... the same virus defs are used, just the free version lacks spyware detection, and updates only once every 24 hrs, and displays a popup ad every time it updates (but i have a workaround for that

).. But i've never come across spyware on my system with any software (inc avira premium). If you are still feeling insecure install windows defender or something like that.

@ Prasanta 08

Ofcourse you can update it from internet ! .....

You can install a firwall if you like ...... According to me Windows Firewall is just fine .... Otherwise try Comodo Firewall Professional(free)... just started using it ....Pretty impressed with it ..

CA provides a one year trial for their anti virus

Try it out for a year and see if you like it.
