    Hi All,

    Since my license period for paid security applications came to an ended, I recently got interested in trying out security freeware application like AVG, Comodo and Spyware Terminator...

    I came across this website that has some decent information about most freeware security products… what do you all think about it… Thanks…

    I checked it out and he seems to know what he's talking about. All of his recommendations are valid.

    Hey Calvin I know you use CFP and NOD32, as do I, but do you use anything else? And what versions are you running?

    No, i don't run anything else as NOD32 and CPF protects me from any and everything. Though i notice you're not using the latest version of NOD32 which i recommend you upgrade to.

    Yeah, I had it before when CFP 3.14 first came out and all the hoopla about NOD 3.0 proxy tunnel blah, blah, so I down graded. Starting next week I'll be hiking for a few months. In the meantime, my subscription will run out. When I return I'll resubscribe and upgrade or switch to Avira or Avast. I haven't decided yet.
