Secret Agent Man Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 My parents' computer is running Windows XP on a 2001 eMachines computer with low specs (less than a GHz processor, the RAM's no more than 512 MB (I think it's actually 256), etc.) Anyone have any recommendations for a good, free anti-virus program that isn't nagware? For the past few years they've had AVG Free, but version 8.0 sucks, and now the current version keeps nagging them to update (claiming that it's "mandatory"), so it's time to switch.

Katsurugi Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The only other free antivirus program that I could recommend is avast!. I believe it's free and I haven't really had too much experience. But it's the one I'm thinking about replacing AVG 8.0 with on my sister's computer. I've heard only good things about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCR Channel Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I had avast! before. It was alright, but I switched to AVG 8.0, and I like it a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
