hey conditioned, at the risk of a stupid question what or why do i need to monitor my http traffic. thanks. poorguy
ESET NOD32 is my favorite pay to play antivirus software.
Microsoft Security Essentials is my favorite free offering.
hey all, IMO free antivirus is all good because it is free. if you don't like it then uninstall it and don't use it and try another. i guess it is like beer lots of different kinds and they are all different, end result is that they work. "common sense " is my choice and that is a rough choice for many. just my view and opinion. interesting reading. thanks. poorguy
Hey,
Most malware/viruses tends to come through the browser. Either through something directed at the browser itself (hacked flash etc) or in the form of something you download, a program. Scanning http traffic should protect the browser better.
Maybe I should have said an av that scans everything on access. But most already do this and excempt http traffic, so you have to first download whatever it is and then its scanned when you are accessing it.
I like comodo free firewall. Avast. Outpost pro.

hey all, i am going to keep using my avg and my mse and my panda cloud all of which are on different boxes, no complaints with any of them. as to which is the best is the one you have that blocks the virus that we all have at one time or another let in just because it happens. paid versions are good for some but for myself the free does work. as to slow performance issues don't experience them on my boxes. have enjoyed all of the veiws of others experiences on how the different antivirus work for them. thanks. poorguy

hey all, i to use mse and malwarebytes free and am very satisfied with both of them. lots of different choices to chose from but these two together are hard to beat. i have and use other on different pc and all take care of my pc but mse and malwarebytes does seem to be the best choice. can't beat freeware in my opinion. poorguy
People...People...You HAVE to learn how to get paid for Anti-Virus protection for FREE! Since joining here I have gave a few links to become Beta Testers for PAID FOR protection, and get it ALL for FREE! And it is NOT just Anti-Virus, it is complete suites of Computer Security. Avira is STILL looking for Beta Testers for their FULL Security Suite, and your pay-off is a FREE version to you after it is released into the retail chain. REMEMBER: With FREE YOU get what YOU pay for!
hey all, you are right you do get what you pay for when you go free. that is why when i go free i go with MSE. its light foot print and light on resources and i really like its colorful and easy to use interface. most of all it seems to do a good job. thanks. poorguy
