I've been advised to go with Zone Alarm, AVG, or ESET Nod32. Which is
best? Thanks!
There are many Free good AV applications available, and almost everyone has
his favorite. Most of the users are emotionally attached to their av
application and will have excellent reasons for not recommending any other
brand.
Consequent to my recommendations, most probably, somebody will come along
and tell you that Choice A is great, and Choice B is not so good. Then
someone else tells you that Choice B is better than Choice A, and you're
misguided for using Choice A. And so on.
The most important thing here is that all of the available choices listed
here are better in some respects than in others, and which choice is better
for *you* depends on what you do, how you work, and which features you use.
The way you use your PC is different from others.
AntiVir is better than both AVG and Avast and since AOL AVS is based upon
Kaspersky AV, AOL
AVS is higher-ranking then all of them, just don't opt for the toolbar
offered during installation.
ESET Nod32 is an excellent AV application but you've got to pay for it
Good luck.
