Post subject: I hate to ask again - what's the best free antivirus? Archived from groups: alt>comp>anti-virus (more info?)
I just got done reading the topic thread that says avoid all free
anti-virus programs, but I'm still going to ask: "What's the best free
anti-virus program?" And I'm talking one that does the best job with
catching viruses, worms, trojans, etc.
I see this question asked a lot in here, but the responses always seem
to degenerate into petty arguments between the respondents.

Find an old Norton Anti-Virus (NAV) 2002 CD. Or Norton System Works
2002.
The one-year subscription licence can be renewed by simply
re-installing the program (that's why I consider it to be free). And
it updates itself over the net no problem.
That's the last version of NAV before it became a real slow, huge
resource hog.

The best anti-virus is Linux or Macintosh. Screw Windows and it's many
bugs, just get a better OS.

This gets posted too often. Why not browse the threads and read all the past posts and
responses.

Does that include XP - gold or XP - SP1?
Sorry - no amount of "safe hex" could make those systems more secure.
Sometimes the OS ->is<- the problem. The smart-ass who said to use
Linux or Mac was right - if we're talking about XP.
If we're talking Windows vs Mac, then put Win-98 up against Mac. XP
was still-born for the first 2.5 years of it's life.
