Anti virus?

[Iceman]

I know this has probably been asked a million and one times but.....

Anyone recommend a decent free anti virus that does'nt take too much of your pc mem or resources?


Thanks in advance guys

AVG or Avast are both good free anti virus solutions.

Think there's a link in here for 6 months free premium service from Antivir. I use the free version on both my laptop and desktop but am considering taking the offer for 6 months and uninstalling SpyBot Search and Destroy.

Think Antivir did very well (best) out of free program detection tests recentlyish.

Not bad that, 6 months free, i used to use AntiVir about a year ago (or more), but now i use AVG as i had loads of problems updating that, many a time it couldn't connect, but thats probably been sorted now.

Looks like the 6 months is a good time till i get something else

Thanks guys

system32 file missing

afternoon guys,

I am getting an error message when I load windows a run.dll error screen pops up saying thta this file is missing system32/rlfhynou.dll. I had AVG say that it found virus and wiped it and this is when the problem started. Any ideas whats wrong and how to fix this? (I am running windows XP)

Cheers

That system32/rlfhynou.dll sounds very dodgy. Doesn't sound like a proper XP file. Have you installed anything recently?

the link on there has given me a year free not 6 months?

Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Premium - 1 Year

that is the right version isnt it?

 

[Greenlizard0]

Still undecided on what to do - keep antiv free and spybot search and destroy or just use the premium version of that free offer?

Any opinions so far?

i like it, nice interface, fast scanning, uses low resources.
you maze well give it a shot, afterall it is free

If you do decide to pay for one consider Kaspersky - very much worth the money. Arguably better than NOD32.

arn't old versions of the free AOL anti virus based on kaspersky?

True - I just wanna know whether it's safe to uninstall my trusty SpyBot Search and Destroy...hmm...

If you have Vista you can also check within the securities settings to see how long the subscription is - mine ends in October

 

[sunlitsix]

ah yeah, 23rd october here
it did say a year trial on the webpage though

not many people seem to recomend bitdefender which is cheaper than both nod and kaspersky and it always beats them in reviews,and isnt a system hog like kaspersky is IMO
