As I reported in Part 1, once upon a time savvy computer users didn't require antivirus and anti-spyware software, but with today's hacker-infested Internet and slimy virus-dripping and worm-crawling E-mails just waiting to catch us off guard, everyone needs antivirus and anti-spyware software.
AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic
Avira's free AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic has a small impact on system resources, including a small 34 MB file size and only three running processes. It provides typical antivirus services, such as scanning drives and right-click capability to scan individual directories and files.
When tested, AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic detected 100% of in the wild viruses and 85% of zoo viruses. It also claimed two false positives. According to Mary Landesman, About.com's guide to antivirus software, Avira's AntiVir was one of the first five antivirus vendors to release antivirus updates five times during a prolific virus outbreak period, which included 26 outbreaks. AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic does not detect or remove spyware or adware. However, the paid versions do.
