| This forum prohibits mention of Warez (pirated stuff)... So pls no discussions about Warez... And yes you get very good free anti virus softwares Do not go in for free AVG ... in my experience its useless Go for Avira Anti-virus free personal edition Read the user review for this anti-virus Avira AntiVir Antivirus Review in Anti Virus Software at Review Centre and download at Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir or Avast Home Edition Read review and download at Avast Home Edition - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com |

| Aditya | I like AVG and using AVG 8.0 it never gave me any problem and gets auto update after every 4 hours, you can give it a go and can download it from download.com and its available in 2 versions, paid and free. You can use whichever you like |

Rep Power: 6 | You should never ever use a pirated/warez version of an Antivirus or a Security Tool. It will do more damage than any viruses ever will. Free Antivirus Softwares with Download links. ● AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition ● Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus ● Avast Home Edition ● BitDefender Free Edition ● PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition ● ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition All of these are Popular(from the top) and Free versions. I recommended Avast Home Edition . Good Luck ! hmmmmmmm................Good idea I am going to create a Thread on this. ![]() http://www.indiabroadband.net/softwa...html#post48492 (Free Version Security Software) Last edited by Archer; 09-28-08 at 04:28 AM. |

Smoothvibes just download and install some other anti-virus ... say Avira anti-virus .... Run a scan ... i ll bet you anything it ll detect viruses never detected by AVG I use Avast pro after using many freeware /commercial wares including but not limited to Nortan,E-scan,NOD32,AVG,Panda,Kaspersky,Avira,Symantec etc I think Avast is the best .... and in free version Avira is the best Just google Avira antivirus reviews and check it out or simply ask Starry Knight .. | |

| Aditya | and my next OS which is on the way is Sun Solaris (known as most complex OS) again nothing to worry about, no known virus for that OS too coz only about .02% population is using it |

Rep Power: 0 | 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 . |

| Platinum Member | @^^^ 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 |

| @ 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 .. check this post http://www.indiabroadband.net/softwa...-software.html (Free Version Security Software) I agree with the above post.. i have used both freewares and Commercial wares .... The good ones are always good ...regardless of whether they are free or not |
