Very many of us use free anti-virus software. I have it, as you know in a couple of my computers, but I also have commercial packages to some others. But can we really rely on an antivirus that is free? The serve is no money in them, so how could they keep up with developments?

In an interview criticizes David Hall, product manager at Symantec, the free antivirus programs pretty hard. He believes that they certainly can not offer as good protection from commercial software – such as Norton Antivirus and the others. According to Hall, is the technology of free antivirus, including Microsoft Security Essentials and the famous AVG and Avast!, Not sufficiently sophisticated to be able to protect against today’s virus attacks.

Most viruses spread today by web pages. This is called drive-by downloads, and means that you visit an infected Web page that automatically downloads and installs the virus on your computer. Virus infection occurs not only through the security hole in the browser, but it is very common to instead use a hole in the Appendix for the browser – QuickTime, RealPlayer and Flash. Hall explains that it is not at all certain that the free anti-virus software offers a good protection against this type of attacks. Better is to buy a security package.

What do you think?

According to the Swedish magazine PC Magazine will Microsoft soon be launching an early test version of a free antivirus (codenamed “Morro”). Right now it seems that the employees on the company are testing the program. The news tells us also they will compete with McAfee and Symantec.

For just a little while ago I read about a director in of one of the leading antivirus companies. He said, inter alias, that Microsoft’s attempt to break into the market. He claimed that he was not especially worried about the competition. The thing is that Microsoft has tried to come in to the antivirus and security market many times, but they have not made any significant impact. It seems that people do not trust the security program that comes from Microsoft … Recently said Microsoft that they will shut down Live OneCare from the June 30, 2009. And at the same time, it will launch a safety package that is completely free. The aim is to ensure that all users have a strong protection against harmful code, viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, etc.

A Microsoft spokesman said on Wednesday that the world’s biggest software maker is now testing an early version of the product with its own employees and that it will “soon” make a trial version available via its website.

I do not think that Microsoft will succeed especially well this time either. But I see clearly forward to test their free antivirus software. It will be interesting to see what Microsoft has to offer compared with the other free anti-viruses that are on the market. AVG and Avast, or why not new Panda Antivirus Cloud?

We will see what happens in future with Morro!

The virus “Downadup” continues to spread. According to security company F-Secure had the virus round the 20 January 2009 already infected 8.9 million computers. Many believed that there was the peak. But that is not the case. The virus has continued to spread, to mutate to the other versions. Therefore, it is difficult for antivirus programs to end the misery.

“Downadup” spreads by exploiting a security hole in Windows. Have you the function “Automatic Updates” turned on, closes the security hole automatically.

The best way to avoid “Downadup is so clearly to having a really good antivirus program, which ensures that the virus does not install itself on your computer. However, if the misfortune is arrived and one of the versions of Downadup – or Conficker and Kido, which they also is called – infecting your PC, there is still opportunity to save the system.

Security company BitDefender has for safety’s sake, has developed a software to remove Downadup – from an infected computer. Downadup Removal Tool can be downloaded free on the website BDTools.

If you are worried about the infection, you can easily check it with the boot a ‘Quick Scan’ via the website bdtools.net

MSN is a popular for conversation, chat with friends, but this has its rear surface.

One of them is that virus spread via the service, I am sure you have encountered to your friend sent you a link to an “image”, which in reality is a virus, a Trojan.

These viruses spread through links, or sometimes sends the files directly through MSN. When you open them, that installs a trojan on your computer, without you know it. All this is usually in the background. Now start the troja virus sending the links to your contacts, and that is how they spread saithe. And you have not seen the fun pictures from the party …

To avoid this, must you be attentive. When a friend sends you a message and a link to you in English,Spanish or other languages, must you reflect. If you are a troubled (which you should always be!), Ask your friend if he have sent it. If not, inform him that she / he has a virus in his computer.

An very important thing is to always have an updated antivirus. It is so incredibly important. Also have a antispyware program. If you accidentally click on the link, so it is good to have a protection against the virus.

You should never think that “It can not happen to me…”, because that is exactly what happens! The risk to get viruses today is TERRIBLY great.

AVG Antivirus is a smart and free antivirus software, which can be complemented with Ad-Aware spyware software. You can find many more good Antivirus program free download in my blog “Free antivirus“.
