It's about time too, I've been paying AU$100 per year for their "Live" protection. It's fine for XP, but doesn't work on 7. In the meantime try Kapersky Anti-Virus 2009 Beta, free and extremely good!

Awesome. I haven't used anti-virus software since 2002 or so, but I might try it out just for fun. I just don't ever get them.

See this post: Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Win 7 ---- Agree, it is about time for ms to provide free protection for there own OS's. It will most likely be very basic, so advanced users will look elsewere, but for most sure it will be just fine. |

Well! I am now officially bamboozled! No anti-virus? You either have incredible luck or you re-format your drive every month!

 Seriously though, does your anti virus really catch something at least once a month that would have infected your computer? If so, what are you doing to cause it? I'm always curious as to how people get malware on their computers. |

Test your anti-malware/anti-virus protection with EICAR As many of you know(quite a few don't) what EICAR is, this is a open poll to see what programs pick it up and what programs fail the basic tests. I am conducting this poll because A-Squared failed to see this on a scan, but MSE picked it up before it could be downloaded. So after you take... |
