Free Antivirus Solutions
The man told me with a dejected tone, “ My brand new PC has become too slow! Believe me it is brand new with latest configuration. Please help me.”
So, I checked it. There was no antivirus in it!! So, I installed Avast free on it and scanned. The result was stunning. 5678 infected files were discovered and after long operation the PC was restored to its previous glory. You can see what can be done with a completely free security solution. Here I am discussing about ten such digital policemen who are too good in their duty. You can use all of among these without paying large sum of money like that of Kaspersky or Norton’s premium services.
Avast : Avast free is very good in its job. It has a shiny interface with some good features. It can detect most of the malwares and Trojans. It is completely free. Online registration is required for free
Ad-Aware : The name of this free antivirus software is quite odd but its performance is too good. It can detect almost 90% malware which is commendable. This free version is almost like the full paid version.
Panda-Cloud : As the name implied Panda is a cloud based antivirus i.e. it operates using internet connection by connecting to its server. That is why it is light and fast. The Panda free antivirus is good at detecting and removing malicious programs. The main disadvantage of it is that its unusable without internet.
Microsoft Security Essential : Microsoft Security Essential is the most hyped among the top free antivirus. MSE is from the windows maker Microsoft and it is completely free. This antivirus can defend your systems effectively. You need the genuine copy of the windows for using Microsoft Security Essential.
Avira Antivir : Avira is a renowned name in the world of antivirus. It is a fully functional antimalware tool which can detect any kind of threats. The first time set up is quite complicated though after that it is too easy to operate.
Avg Free : Avg was my favorite once. I have discarded it now because sometimes it detects wrong files as virus or Trojan. Avg is a good looking and fully capable free antivirus and it is constantly updating for being better.
Comodo: Comodo free antivirus uses defense+ technology which they demands is the best way to safe guard and clean a PC. Comodo is a good antivirus and can be used as a free solution.
Norton Power Eraser : This free tool from Norton is good in terminating threats. Norton Power Eraser is aggressive in detecting the malicious codes. It can even neutralize the malwares that prevents any other antivirus installations.
Norman Malware Cleaner : This is not a fully functional antivirus like the others. Still, it is very good for some quick actions. It is light and easy.
Digital Defender : Digital Defender is a good free antivirus. It updates daily. This free antivirus is not very big in size. The settings are not too tough and operating it is easy.
