Software Picks

Anti-virus

Below are some of the anti-virus products we currently recommend. The criteria for making our list is the ability to receive regular automatic updates, use low system resources, and be certified by an independent testing lab.

The battle against viruses changes daily. If you find yourself infected and need advice, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Microsoft Security Essentials

Our current top pick is Microsoft Security Essentials. This software comes directly from Microsoft's server software team. It's been a paid-for product for quite some time and has only recently been adapted to run on consumer systems for free.

Note: This product checks for counterfeit or pirated software during installation.

AVG Free

AVG Free is currently at version 9. The company pushes out version updates approximately every six months and uses this as an opportunity to push customers toward the paid-for version. This is why we recommend downloading from download.com via this link. Also note that two weeks out of the year, AVG pushes popup ads promoting its paid-for products directly to users computers. It is for this reason that we no longer give AVG our top recommendation.
