yeah, 360. Quite lightweight though

yeah that's the one i'm trying to quote

its in chinese ..dun understand

well, I do but reading chinese is quite annoying for me

but is it any good?

my dad likes it but I haven't tried it yet.

Microsoft Security Essential or avast free edition

using Microsoft Security Essentials before i format my computer. now using avast free..so far so good, the person who helped me to reformat my computer installed the 360 thingy for me, which is in chinese. my chinese sucks so i change to avast (everytime got pop-up from the 360 dono what it's toking about ==)

Ads is the only way of them to make money(since its free) so if you use it, you have to bear with it.

Avira has been slacking lately. They were good. And now they start to include web based protection as an add on after you install it. Its is surprisingly slower than before they had the web protection thing.

The chinese 360 protection is actually developed by Kingsoft in China. Supposed to be the best antivirus in China. It works very well if u are into video clients like PPS, QVOD and such. Because the AV will not treat those software as malware like most USA ones does. But the thing is, i still do not trust software coming from China simply because their goverment plants monitoring codes inside every software.

I'm starting to use Avast now. It has improved a lot since 3 versions ago. The last ones were a little buggy IMHO.

AVG is still not on my recommended list. So is MSE. Though they work just ok. One software that i can never live without is MalwareBytes. Antivirus or not, this one makes my life a lot easier.

my experience on free antivirus program are:

1. AVG Free
2. Sophos
3. Norton (trier edition)?
4. Avast
5. MSE
6. AVIRA

first place go to....

AVIRA!!!

LAST Place go to....

Sophos

cannot compare with the premium one lah
especially internet security version
of coz there a lot more good than this free one

But Comodo offer a free version of Comodo Internet Security 2011
i want to try it first..hehehe
