wingzero2309 Posted December 22, 2006 CID Share Posted December 22, 2006 I found this antivirus called Active Virus Shield...and as far as I can tell from the pics//info on the page, it's Kaspersky Anti-Virus with a skin. http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp? I used to have the official Kaspersky...but my key got blacklisted (yes...guilty, lol). Now i'm stuck w/symantec antivirus corp edition (which i don't like very much). I'm gonna give this AOL thing a try...hopefully it really IS kaspersky w/a skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingzero2309 Posted December 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2006 i knew it was too good to be true...i got no email with an activation key, tried multiple email addresses as well i think i'll go ahead and give AVG a try...i tried NOD32 as well, but it was too weird...and slowed down my bittorrent like crazy, and made my cpu usage go to 100% for about the first 5 minutes after turning on my pc hopefully...they'll send the activation code though...i really liked Kaspersky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted December 22, 2006 CID Share Posted December 22, 2006 Yep, AVG is the way. Also while you are in there get their Anti spyware. At least when I got it (30 day trial) it turned into a free edition after the 30 days. It used to be the Edwido antispy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive installed it on every computer at my office and i really don't have to do anything now with spyware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingzero2309 Posted December 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 22, 2006 wow, i thought AVG would use a lot more resources but i think it uses even less than NOD32 did (every website i went to said nod32 was like the god of low-resource-usage antivirus programs) i got the anti-spyware as well, seems pretty cool. i wish the avg antivirus gui was as spiffy as the anti-spyware gui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted December 22, 2006 CID Share Posted December 22, 2006 I think AVG is about as light as you can get. Never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
