Ewido

Hi,
I have AVG as my virus checker which is updated automatically, all working fine. I use EWIDO, the free version, to do virus scans as a back-up, but have been unable to update it for a while.

Has anybody else had the same problems?

Can anybody suggest something else that is free that I can use as a replacement back-up AV scanner?

Jo

  • Mine's updating ok.

    Try uninstalling, download again and re-install.

    Ewido isn't an AV product, it's an anti-trojan. As an alternative try PrevX; it's an intrusion protection product.

    :cool:

    Because it's shareware the auto updates stop after a certain time.
    But you should still be able to update manually.
    If not, uninstall and reinstall the program like mentioned previously.
