Active Virus Shield uses the Kaspersky AV program. Kaspersky detects and removes 99.62% of test viruses ( over 1500) during independent testing. Here is the site with the test results:

Since it is provided by AOL many avoid it. This should not be the case. This is completely free with no strings attached by AOL. I know this doesn't sound like AOL but it is true. AOL nearly went under due to old business tactics and have been working hard to correct these and survive as an Internet provider.

I know of some people that hack in to other computers for the fun of it. They say that the only system that gives them a problem is one called 'Panda'. It cost about $30 for two years.

The best free one at the moment is the AOL one which is Kaspersky.
