Author Topic: Need good free anti-malware.  (Read 962 times)

AVG Free has failed me. It let through an attack and it's being cleaned by KIS trial as I speak.

I need a new free anti-malware program. I don't want it to force updates on me like a national socialist, not use a lot of system resources (even though I will only be running it or having it open when I scan stuff), and needs to be effective at its job.

In list form;
  • Free
  • Effective
  • No restarts required when updating
  • Can't be hogging up CPU/RAM
  • Needs to be at least Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware
  • Can't be AVG Free


Recommendations? Go.

All good, all free and the reason you have not heard of them is the same reason your machine currently crawls with filthy hobbits.


I've heard Avast! is hot stuff, I can't vouch for it personally, though.

All good, all free and the reason you have not heard of them is the same reason your machine currently crawls with filthy hobbits.
But I have no trials or evidence to prove that they are effective weapons against demons and heretics.

Shush! To the tower with you!
