Re: Free antivirus - a trap?

Free virus software that is the most recommened is AVG.
For the answer to the question is why would they be crazy enough to put out a great FREE software and is it any good.
Recognition is why they did it. They were looking for and a name, in a market dominated by Norton and Macfree. Giving a free version is actually a great market sceam if the product works.
Well I believe it does! For the newbies and the average computer user it works great. This is if you are not completely malicious and download everything on the internet and downloading pirated software. Then you should be safe. But this does not mean you should buy the full version if you like it and are comfortable with it.
Norton is fine, but only if are not good with programs or running a network.
Norton has more options and many more toys for computer savvy people. But if you don't care then avg is low key and easy to use and you don't need a removal tool to uninstall the free trail version like Norton does.
