New Entrant In Free Antivirus Arena

Hi Fred, I tried this free program yesterday and it works
better than the Mc Afee program that I had, until yesterday-
LOL.

I inserted an old floppy disk into my new PC and Mc Afee
warned me of the NYB virus but was unable to repair it. So, to
shorten this story and get right to the point, I downloaded a
program entitled Antivir from Germany at http://free-av.com
It also spotted the NYB virus and promptly repaired it. I
uninstalled Mc Afee and I'm glad that I did. ---John Di Gilio

Thanks, John. Grisoft AntiVirus ("AVG") is the current leader in free AV
tools ( http://www.grisoft.com ). It'll be interesting to compare the
two....


Lots of good stuff in todays langalist :)

LOL If that message came in to my inbox in the form of an email, it would get deleted straight away for being spam :D

Well, given that it came in on a well-known, subscription only mailing list, published by Fred Langa (former editor in cheif of Byte magazine) that I've read for 2 years, I really didn't consider it spam. I put it here because I know there are at least a few of our customers are always on the lookout for free/really cheap software packages of various types, and since this lists two different free anti-virus packages, both of which are free, I thought it might be good to put up... but you know, maybe it's just me :)

I wasn't calling it spam, just that it looked like spam :D

I tried this branded product and it sucked, then I tried this product by such and such and it did a great job. Yay! :D

I treid that AVG software and it threw a couple of fits, had to uninstall it :-/

Hey what happened to the colourful smilies? They look like they all have the flu :D
