Re: Free antivirus [Off topic]
Hi Ricardo:
It depends. If you're looking for a virus scanner you might take a look
at F-Prot (for DOS). Though its text interface, it's a tremendous
scanner. I use it along with my eMail client (Pegasus Mail) and it
works very fine even on MIME encoded.
1. Get a copy of the freeware F-Prot for DOS from
http://www.complex.is/f-prot/Download.html and extract it to directory
C:\f-prot.
2. I kind of like the updater from http://www.blackeclipse.com/forum/.
Runs in the system tray to update both the f-prot and the updater
software.
If you're looking for a permanent active Antivirus, i.e. scanner, on-
demand scanner and eMail scanner your choice could be AVG
http://www.grisoft.com/softw/60/fe/avg6319fu.exe but I'm not sure if
it can be downloaded by Europeans. Take a look at their site. I have it
also but it's on-demand scanner demands a high CPU usage.
Another choice is AntiVir from H+BEDV. It works fine though it has some
false alarms from time to time. Get it from http://www.free-av.com/
Cheers!
