Avast is a free one, they only ask you to register and they don't send any spam or anything.

I prefer Avira AntiVir: www.free-av.com
Re: free anti-virus/spyware applications
I actually prefer spyware doctor.
Anyway, Buzkashi did the "shifty eyes" thing. That's like saying "I don't care where do you get it from as long as it works", right?
For that kind of situation, I usually recommend this site: http://www.phazeddl.com/

Re: free anti-virus/spyware applications
If you computer gets infected while the antivirus software is active, that's not really a good sign for that particular antivirus software then.
Re: free anti-virus/spyware applications
Buz, is your computer currently infected with a spyware/virus? If so, what particular one is it?
I'm using MalwareByte's Anti-Malware, and it caught some stuff that Spybot and Adaware missed.

Re: free anti-virus/spyware applications
It doesn't anymore that's why Nod32 is the best in my opinion, compared to others I've used. Avira is crap for realzors.Aetherfukz wrote:If you computer gets infected while the antivirus software is active, that's not really a good sign for that particular antivirus software then.

Re: free anti-virus/spyware applications
Woah! WTF?
Dude, what are you doing? I've had this Mac for 3 and half years without even turning on the firewall and nothing has happened. My old iMac which I had for almost 6 years had zero problems with viruses or spyware. You're just wasting your time by installing such programs on a Mac.

Re: free anti-virus/spyware applications

Re: free anti-virus/spyware applications
There's like 40 total (I'm exaggerating, but the true number is not that far off). It's some ridiculously low amount, that's for sure. Yeah, Macs are probably not as secure as Windows computers, but they are safer.Buzkashi wrote:iono. recently i feel like my internet is going really slow.

I swear to god, of nearly 10 years of using a Mac and of all the people I know that have even used a Mac, you would be the first person to have told me the Mac they used had spyware/viruses; if it indeed turns out to be true, which I really, really, really doubt.
