Some LiveCDs ... Re:AVG: People still use it? by Anonymous Coward · 2015-02-19 05:23 · Score: 0 · on New Android Trojan Fakes Device Shut Down, Spies On Users

Thank you.

Are you a Linux user by chance?

I found this:

http://www.bitdefender.com/bus...

And it appears to be 100% free with a free license.

I know - people say *nix doesn't need antivirus program(s)...but clamav isn't enough to satisfy my needs.

Avira continues with popups? What a shame. One would think popups to be a form of adware. I enjoyed the configuration options which Avast didn't provide [several years ago].

MSE makes me wonder if I have any protection at all.

Avast may be the winner here [for free options] if you turn off most of the non-virus related scanning modules.

I like Clamwin for a backup manual scanner, it's caught some trojans MSE couldn't find. I hear detection rate is poor and false positives are common but it's one more tool in my chest.

AFAIK it's a linux livecd with drweb antivirus installed. I have not used it myself, though.

Re:Clam AV by Zonk+(troll) · 2008-10-25 13:36 · Score: 1 · on Reliable, Free Anti-Virus Software?

I NEVER run background scanning on a virus program. It's a needless system overhead. When I get something new that might be suspicious, I simply run it on that specific program.

If that's why you install anti-virus, why bother installing anything at all? Try Online Malware Scan instead. That runs the submitted file through:

A-Squared, AntiVir, ArcaVir, Avast, AVG Antivirus, BitDefender, ClamAV, CPsecure, Dr. Web, F-Prot Antivirus, F-Secure Anti-Virus, G Data, Ikarus, Kaspersky Anti-Virus, NOD32, Norman Virus Control, Panda Antivirus, Sophos Antivirus, VirusBuster, and VBA32.

Also, Dr Web CureIt! is a good thing to run occasionally.
