Try Avira Antivir Personal edition (free version)…it auto-updates and watches your system like a hawk!!! Also, NoScript plug-in for Firefox helps tons to stop “scriptkitties” and similar attacks that perpetuate through background downloads/cookies.

Excellent post! It is hard to find comprehensive reviews of freeware that works. I’m still in the mode of paying for all this stuff – stupid me!

You all are more than welcome.

I have tried hundreds of freeware out there and a lot of times with little success. I hate waiting for a download only to install it and find out its retarded.

Thanks for this great post. I have started using some open source software and it is really helpful to get some feedback on what works well.

ad-aware is still free, they just offer for your to buy the upgrade, but the base package is still free.

Haven’t tried avast before, looks not too bad, I will have to try it out.

Thanks for stopping by!

I would like to add here Avast, it does really well on tests and it’s getting quite the buzz lately. Oh, and i believe ad-aware is no longer free? Might be wrong here…
