1. Comment - Free Antivirus Offered to Vista Testers

   (May 29, 2006 - 9:37 PM)

   I've extensively tested Symantec Antivirus, AVG and Antivir (aka Free AV) with "agressive" sites: definitely Antivir is a winner. Even got into some websites which tried to install software on my comp by using a known ActiveX exploit. First, with AVG monitoring: the virus installed itself without any problem whatsoever and it even got the nerve to announce me that my computer may be at risk! Same thing with Symantec. Only the "Guard" module of Antivir personal edition (i.e. the free one) grabbed it as soon as it got on the hard disk (yes, it did land on my HDD, as Antivir is not claiming to protect you "on the fly" while browsing, although numerous times it detected exploits in html pages as soon as they got into IE's temporary internet files folder, exploits that the others failed to see).
