New Top free Antivirus

Avast is the new number one recommendation, Avira still has the best detection but
a new installer that adds an Ask toobar and it has an advitiser now that has been
accused of being scareware. (appears to check your computer and reports bad
things wrong, click now to pay us to fix it right now) The Ask toolbar is pretty easy
to remove if you know how and I'd never fall for the scareware but you really don't
want to recommend Avira now, someone else could not know.

The young people like Avast, it has a rounded corner console and skins to change
the appearance. I found it difficult to set up and set your preferences and did a
double take every time I opened it. So, I still don't recommend it.

Microsoft Security Essentials is still in second place and is a breeze to use, it's still
my number one recommendation. If I was running a pirated version of Windows I guess
I'd still use Avira but still wouldn't recommend it to newbies.

I like MSE and it stays out of the way pretty good. One odd thing is that I tell it to check every Monday for updates but if I open it up, sometimes it shows that it hasn't updated for a couple of weeks..My setting are correct I'm certain but it seems to ignore that from time to time.

I don't know about that, I didn't change the settings on mine and it stays updated
just fine. Yeah, I really do like it not getting in the way all the time, all the others
do aggravate you.

I'm probably going to install the new number one antispyware, Malwarebytes on
mine to. I've had it before and it's like MSE in that it also doesn't seem to ever
bother you. SuperAntiSpyware was good and gots the tracking cookies as well
but it is in the way every day when I boot up. I have been using Super portable
but it's not quite as good as the installed one and Malwarebytes doesn't have a
portable version.
