What is the best free antivirus/virus removal tool that does Excellent in scans and also is low on cpu?

Question

for older model computers

Answer 1

All Antiviruses Are Good And also Bad . As i See that Zone alarm when installed on our pc contans hidden SD BACKDOOR viruses. It is detected by the AVG antivirus . And norton installed slows down our pc and kills it further. So the only best antivirus is AVG EURO COUP7.1 .Its the best antivirus you wud have ever seen. But its difficult to get . Try searching for it on www.softpedia.com. If you dont get it then install Avg professional 7.1 free edition . Its really good too. Dont use McAfee or norton or zoelabs . This will really Kill Your PC later.

The absolute best antiviral approach is to install desktop Linux. It is an operating system designed from the ground up to be secure and is essentially so difficult to attack - and also do something useful for the attacker - that it just isn't done.

An older computer is no problem. If the computer is good enough for Windows 95, the latest Linux will scream on it!

Also, the price is right. Every program you can imagine, including the operating system itself, is legally free for the downloading. All the upgrades are also free, forever. And all is the full-blown version - no trialware or crippleware.

Oh yes: the overall CPU load, task-to-task on the same machine, is lower on Linux. I've never seen an exception. Prove it to yourself by creating a dual-boot machine!

Answer 4

I am required by law to keep my pc 100% clean from spyware and viruses. The program that has kept me 100% clean for years is, "Twister Anti-Trojan Virus/Spyware.

www.filseclab.com --Located in Beijing, China. And the great part is that you only pay a one time small fee for life. And you get frequent updates, support and no additional charge for new versions. Why pay other antivirus software companies an annual fee.

The program is very low on CPU, has real time scanner in the background that will detect and clean in an instant if you open a webpage with spyware or a virus embedded in the webpage. Will scan all downloads for embedded spyware or trojans and stop the download and clean. Plus will trace back who installed the spyware or trojan.

Will find any embedded trojans/spyware in the installer wizard used to install your program and stop the installation and clean.

This program will not allow you to install "RealPlayer", it has an embedded trojan that is used for tracking. If you over-ride the program and remove the trojan file "RealPlayer will not work.

I turned of the firewall on my Windows XP Prof., an I use ZoneAlarm free. Works great.

I see no logic in paying an annual fee for an antivirus or spyware program.
