Vista free AV

If it works, its good!

 

Tried that, she "just didn't like it"

I suggested Spyware Terminator since it's free, but her response was "if it's already on there, why should I add something else?" I at least convinced her to try out Threatfire. I hope she stays with it.

InfinityAZ. corrected.

 

Hi,

I installed this for a friend who found TF to difficult (yeah makes you wonder)
see https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1164433&postcount=1

This is proof of a member testing it https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1166902&postcount=46

By the way I have kept WindowsDefender: unselected the daily scans, but selected the option to make restore point before accepting changes. Another great freebie is HauteSecure beta. It is a soft sandbox causing no pop-ups.

Regards Kees

 

No need for 2 av's though even on vista

 

Yep, but they are likely to be lighter than one AV:

AVAST = incoming data streams
ANTIVIR = writes to disk
\NO EXECUTION CHECK, NO Hard disk check

I'll bet most single AV's cehck incoming, check harddisk read + write and execution so it is lighter

 

2 av's installed, one for read and one for write?

erm, no! thanks!

 

just get one good av for all features and have some occasional scans through the internet with either the ones that heal- panda, fsecure, cureit and some other which i can't remember. Unfortunately, m c a f e e does not seem to offer disinfection.... But there is the free offer!
