Anyone ever heard of Grisoft AVG worked miracles for me www.grisoft.com

I think you may find that most people here will also recommend AVG, especially the free version.

I have both versions (on different PCs obviously) and to be honest there is practically no difference between the two, or at least none that I could mention, both give the same level of, security and updates

Thanks for the reminder.

PS. They have "slightly" changed their name recently from Grisoft AVG to "AVG Technologies"
But still the same web address.

A slightly better link to the free version is:

Avast is the other decent free anti-virus program:

I used to install avast on any new machines I'd set up for people..  been a while since I used it as I seem to use AVG too these days.
There wasnt any real reason why I swapped over, since Avast was good.

I normally keep a list here...  so if anyone else knows anymore let me know

I was going to post my updated list here but the one in the sticky still works, so I will leave it.

Wasnt aware of the aol one - and also added a couple to the malware page.

I used to use Avast, but the only problem I found with it was it would not let me restore anything from the "so-called" virus vault.

Yes, although technically a key-generator or illegal software patch may be classed as a Trojan or Virus, but once in the vault it could not be retrieved/restored, hence the change over to AVG.
