AntiVirus

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

There are so many anti virus programs out there! which do you choose?

it is always changing, at one time Norton was top dog, then Bitdefender was at top till 2009 came out, nothing but problems now.
So who’s next?
when I researched for who is at top now, beware that many ‘antivirus review sites’ are just sites that the company put up to market their own product!  so I only trust reviews that has input from editors and ratings by users,   snapfiles.com , pcworld.com , downloads.com (cnet.com).

so I picked Vipre  to try next
http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Home-Home-Office/VIPRE/
Licenses: $30 for single, $40 for 2 computer, $50 for 3+computers

I also picked a new Freeware anti virus to replace AVG grisoft antivirus
Avast! Home edition Free  see http://avast.com/eng/programs.html

give them a try, and take advantage of the free trial before you buy.
