Answer 1

i wouldn't trust it... i think it was in the rogue list before.

but try avast... it is really good.

Answer 2

Its decidedly average to say the lests. When tested it failed on some dropper/trojan field viruses.

The person above showed you a good one but i would have gone with Comodo free security suite with intigrated Antivirus and Spyware. Also scored above 90% on testing.

Also Spybot S&D is brilliant fantastic for pretty much everything

I get figures from a benchmarking site but its goone :S so yer stick with the one you got or try others just dont pay for them cos theres no need

Answer 5

if you want a free one Avast and AVG are the top ones

Answer 6

It is virtually unknown. It is untested. It is only a trial that likely will require you to purchase the software before you can remove what it finds.

I would uninstall it ASAP and For your Anti-Virus......(Always use only 1 A-V...You must NEVER use more than one anti-virus, Even an expired anti-virus can cause a major conflict... did I mention that you MUST uninstall That Cyber-Defender c**p?)

I would suggest Avast, the newest version 4.8. Avast now includes anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-rootkit components. And all for the low low price of free. You can get it here:

Then make sure that your Windows Firewall is set to "on" and you should be fine.

And keep your Windows updates set to "Automatic" also. Very important!
