I used Avast for years, and it does well, however, I wanted something that would scan by itself, so I am testing Avira. It seems OK, but you have to turn off all of the scan notices and update notices to run silently. It has a splash screen that pops up once a day maybe, but you can disable that using some tricks from the web.
Still testing it out. I miss Avast's light firewall. |
Thanks! Let us know your thoughts on Avira eh. |

I'm trying Avira at the moment. The update nag screen is a minor annoyance.
It might do a overzealous/good job depending on how you view it. Every time I use Busan internet banking it pops up with an alert. Not surprising really. AVG didn't do that. |

I use foxit. Highly recommended for people who don't like bloatware. |

I meant to thank you for this. Been using it for a few months now, very good.
Unfortunately I have switched to Mac, for which there is no free equivalent. |

How about Super for changing virtually any media file-types to almost anything else. Lots of room for playing with settings too.
The download requires you to scroll down 2 pages of info to find the download links.
Also Gsplit is good for splitting files if you are caught short for space on your USB, or simply leave it at home. The smaller files can then be emailed or or put on CDs. [/url]
Thinkfree.com is a useful online MS clone if you are using a strange PC or one where you aren't happy downloading new software onto. |
