Av's that don't nag

I think I started a topic like this before and it got deleted. This is not a VS b thread. I just want to know what free avs don't nag to buy a full version that's all.

 

MSE and Avast 5

 

Wasn't Avast using a popup to buy full version while updating ?

 

No, AVIRA does that. avast! doesn't nag about anything.

 

very true and awesome.

 

I agree

 

The only pop up you will see from Avast when updating, is a small pop up window in the sys tray area, informing you that it performed its automatic update of signatures and it will auto-hide in a few seconds.

Avast is great because:

1) has no nag screens , even if it's free.
2) Runs very light (specially if you use just standard shield).
3) It's very good at its job.

 

Although in Avast Home 4.8 there is an advert on the Shield options window. It is not nagging but is implying/offering you to upgrade to Pro. The advert disappears for a short time after a program update though.

 

That ad banner was just a test.

 

comodo not nag
spyware terminator with clam antivirus not nag

 

lol i think the TS wuld like at least a competent AV though...

 

Yes but no. - Not if you ask your best friend (Google or something ) how to avoid that!

 

Just a couple of tweaks and nags are gone in Avira PE. Outpost, AVG they have nags or ads or whatever.

 

Agree,takes a whopping 3 minutes to disable it

 

You could always go with one of the above mentioned, and a-squared free.

Doesn't scan real-time, but it can right-click scan for a second scanning option (or first in my case ). You can update it manually, but Kees has posted before how to update it automatically when logging on, or through Windows task manager.

 

Also that splash screen when it boots up too!

 

Yep, I'm happy with Avira free, with splash and nags disabled AND set to update very two hours!

 

Thanks for your replies ^^ I can install Avast on my clients and they won't feel unprotected. I have a question about Avira. Does the free version still have update problems. I heard they were slower. And the other question is. How to disable the ads in Avira ? And I guess the method changes everytime there's a new version right ?

 

Here you can find the poll

 

Sorry but you and ance are at least partially wrong as you cannot purchase MSE.

 

Google my friend Google.

 

You're right. The ad has not returned. I though it will re-appear sometime after the update to build 1356. Thanks for the info.

 

NOD32 cant remove Trojan/agent/Gen!U,Trojan/agent/Gen!D?Only Window Defender dectect it

 

Hi there Xander and welcome to Wilders!

No AV detect 100% of threats. I suggest you create a thread here.
