Free Full Version:
Clam-Win is a free full version anti-virus software that is open source. It has frequent definition updates and often catches viruses that Norton and others do not find. I have used this software for the past few weeks and think it is a great alternative to consider.
There are several.
Similarly there are several reliable ‘download sites’.
Currently I am using Avast! Antivirus which is free for personal use. You will need to register your copy – a painless process. See Link 1.
As for download sites, I recommend the following; Link 2. Note that there is a mixture of freeware and shareware on these sites.
no, there is always a catch, because it’s not a site’s problems, it’s the makers of the anti virus that are like that. if you get a free it will be trial or will be limited by features. if not then will not work too good. and more off it will ask you to get the full version every now and then. there is always a catch. and i am fed up with these catches, the same way you are.
You use PE Builder to make a bootable CDROM that loads a windows-like interface in memory. Because none of your hard drive files are locked they can be cleaned of any viruses. BartPE provides free McAffee plugins that you can run to accomplish this. WARNING: you have to fairly computer savy to work with BartPE. You may want to recruit a friend to help. It’s more work, but I’ve found this to be the most effective way to clean your system.
