Neah. I am talking on how those free AV's are not worth the time spent
in installing them. Only heavy-hitters like KIS (KAV not so much)
Symantec NIS and one or two others are capable to stop really nasty bug
taking over. Even heavy-hitters any at risk if they have idiot
controlling them.
I am cleaning after those free security software for ~10 years now. Last
5 years I only use Avira Free for stubborn customers with newly
installed Windows or KIS in *any* other case (cleaning, securing). They
(those free ones) are like having closed but unlocked doors in dangerous
neighborhood. Bad guys think it's locked. But when they figure doors are
unlocked....bye-bye.
