Free Anti-Virus software...do you get what you pay for?
I have been using a free AV for almost 3 years now. It is called AVG and is available as a free download from www.grisoft.com . The updates are also free. It has been very effective when kept up to date in my experience, and in some cases has found things that Nortons and MacAfee have missed. AVG uses an interesting feature that it calls 'Hueristic Scanning', where it looks at code for certain criteria that applies to most virii, supposedly giving it the ability to detect virii that are not in its database. I am curious as to if any other AO menbers have used this product, or any other free AVs for that matter, and what their thoughts and impressions are. Any takers?
