Free but excellent malware protection
I use Avast and AdAware on my XP netbook, my wife's Vista laptop and my W7
notebook. PC Mag and PCworld give Avast top ratings. No mention of AdAware, although last year PC Mag said both were top picks. Both mags give Microsoft Security Essentials mediocre ratings. Consumer Reports gives Microsoft Security Essentials thumbs up, but what do they know compared to PC Mag or PCworld. I would like to have real-time mal-ware protection - not have to run AdAware frequently (a very slow process), and do the update 1st. Is there a better free alternative? TIA, Paul |
