Which is the best Free Windows Antivirus?
those are the AVs i did test:
AVG:
is probably the best, well updated.
It also has a nice internet protection which analyzes any link in every page you surf ... even on google pages. it display a green mark when the link if fine ... but pretty annoyng for me.
The worst this, running on my old laptop, was considerably downgrading the perf, so i had to remove it.
UP
- Frequetly updated
- Internet surfing security
DOWN
- Quite heavy for older machines
AVIRA:
Pretty nice.
UP
- Frequently updated.
DOWN
- Quite heavy for older machines
CLAMWIN:
it's open source, released under GPL, thus preferred for not comerrcial uses.
It doesn't has automatic scanning, this makes this product a bit more for experienced users those who knows, beside an AV, when a file could be a problem.
On the other hand, this passive scanning has a very low inpact!
UP
- Very low impact on system
DOWN
- Doesn't have an automatic scan (you have to manually scan)
MY CONCLUSIONS:
On my desktop i use AVG.
On my slower laptop i use CLAMWIN.
