Well, I have installed trend micro's Pc cillin 15 in my computers.
I am not very happy with it because it is huge, slow and complicated.
But it is the corporate antivirus in our university, so it is free for me, that's why a still have it installed.
It is supposed to be a complete anti-virus, anti-spam an anti-spy/malware solution, that has its own firewall too.
In the past two weeks I got infected by some ad-ware virus, although I had the antivirus running.
I made a complete virus scan and it detected nothing.
I used the microsoft windows defender and run a complete scan, and detect nothing.
Then I found spybot.
Installed an run it, and it detected 14 spyware programs and deleted them and the ad-ware dissapear.
And it is free!!
Great for you.
But what concerns me now is, may I uninstall PC-Cillin and inhabilitate windows defender?
I don't want three anti virus solutions in my computers.
I was thinking in configuring spybot and the windows Vista own firewall.
Would it be enough?
I suppose it does not detect spam, but, what about other viruses, like boot viruses?
What other free security software would I need besides spybot?
Thank in advance.
