I’ve been using this for past 1 year. Simply great!
Thanks. Could you post a good antispyware too?
Avira is my favorite free antivirus because it uses a limited amount of resources. For a free antivirus, it does have pretty good detection rates. One thing I like to do is turn the heuristics up to high and have it scan all files. This way it has a better chance of detecting viruses and malware. Great write up.
