  1. Re:okay, time to update by nolife · · Score: 2, Informative · on IRC Networks Unite in Fight Against Fizzer Worm

    I've been using AntiVir for a few months on W2K and 98SE machines. Seems to work pretty good.

    AVG appears to be another free one but I have not tried it.

    I was using an older version of NAV Corporate but it seemed too bloated for some of my slower machines. I've also used the scaled down version of Trendmicro that normally comes packaged with new motherboards, it is limited to 3 months of updates unless you pay for a subscription but the price is reasonable if you want to keep using it.

    Without fee for personal use: Antivir

  3. AVGuard by SpaceLifeForm · · Score: 1, Redundant · on Anti-Viral Software Recommendations?
    I use AVGuard because it's free. It caught something once, which may have been a false positive, and it is thorough. Otherwise, I don't worry about virii because I don't use m$ lookout!

    I also recommend iptables on a linux firewall. Never had a virus yet (knocking on wood).

  4. Use this virus scanner by athmanb · · Score: 2 · on Symantec Will Not Detect Magic Lantern

    H+BEDV is a german software company which makes an excellent virus scanner. Other than most other scanners from mainstream companies, which can mostly be deactivated through a simple change of a few registry keys, it is actually pretty secure from any outside modification.
    And there's also a free (beer) version available.
