It's a first class product with outstanding detection rates but as the free version lacks an email scanner and a resident virus guard, it's only really suited for use as an on-demand scanner rather than your main AV product. Yet another good option for on-demand scanning is the free version of the commercial AV product BitDefender. Note that the recently released V7 unfortunately introduces a time limited license though apparently this will be renewable. If you use it in this role, make sure you disable its resident virus guard during installation to prevent it interfering with your main AV scanner.Even so, it's quite an intrusive product -you will certainly be well aware of its presence. However as an on-demand scanner, it's first rate. It offers significantly better detection rates than either AVG or Avast! but the lack of email scanning precludes recommendation as a primary scanner. Another top recommendation for an on-demand scanner is AntiVir Personal Edition Classic. You should though, disable the AOL AVS real time monitor otherwise you may run into conflicts with the monitor on your primary AV product. If you don't use AOL AVS as your main AV product then this should be your the top choice as an on-demand scanner as its detection is outstanding. On-demand scans should be run regularly, at least weekly, to check for viruses and other malware that may have been missed by your main scanner.

Further improvement is possible by creating a layered defense using additional free security products such as AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly Ewido). However if you use these free products in conjunction with a free on-demand scanner, you can achieve a level of detection approaching that of the best commercial products. They are however capable packages and offers the financially challenged a real alternative to the major anti-virus suites.

That title belongs to commercial products like NOD32, F-Secure, the full version of Kaspersky AV and others. However neither can be considered to be the best available. Both AVG and Avast! are excellent free products that will meet the needs of most users. If you can however, live with the limitations then you'll be rewarded with a first class scanner. So on balance I'm cautious about recommending AOL AVS. If you don't want it, make sure you opt out during installation. By default AOL AVS installs the AOL search bar in Internet Explorer as part of the AVS install. I'm not aware of this actually happening but you need to be aware they have the right to do so. Secondly the End User License Agreement is worrying.ĪOL basically reserves the right to spam you. The configuration options are also more limited. Gone, too, is the ability to create rescue disks and to fully manage the quarantine area. It lacks the important html and heuristics modules present in the full Kaspersky product so the protection afforded against hostile web sites is actually inferior to AVG and Avast!. On first sight it seems like an unbeatable deal but it's not quite what it seems.

This is a cut down version of the top rated Kaspersky AV and is being made available for free to all uses not just AOL members. A possible third choice is the AOL Anti Virus Shield.
#GIMPSHOP TROJAN UPDATE#
However Avast! does not seem to suffer the signature file update problems that plague some AVG users. Avast! also required periodic re-registration while AVG does not. Equally effective is the free Avast! scanner though its funky media player style interface is not to everyone's taste.
#GIMPSHOP TROJAN PRO#
There is a free and a pro version, the only difference being that the free version has a few non-critical features disabled and has no direct technical support.

Additionally, it's relatively small, light on resources, has regular automatic updates and handles email scanning. This product has been continuously refined since it was first released in 1991 and the recently released V7.5 makes further improvements to an already solid product. First there is AVG Antivirus 7 Free Edition. There are two equal recommendations in this category.

The term "freeware" is commonly used for closed source or proprietary software, but since the term is related to price (and not issues like license terms, availability of the source code or copyright status) it can also be applied to free software /open-source software. Freeware is in contrast to commercial software, which is typically sold for profit, but might be distributed for a business or commercial purpose in the aim to expand the marketshare of a "premium" product.

Freeware (from "free" and "software") is computer software that is available for use at no cost or for an optional fee, but usually with one or more restricted usage rights.
