Free Virus Checkers

stressedoutmum

I have installed Zonealarm free on a 30 day trial. I have 10 days left. I have 3 questions I hope someone can help me with.

1. Are there any decent free virus checkers I can replace it with

2. Will Zonelarm automatically come to an end or do I need to uninstall it.

2. What is the difference between buying a virus protector through email and downloading it onto my system compared with sending off for it and getting the discs?

Have only had my system 3 weeks and have picked up some fantastic advice from this site so far. Great......

Zonealarm comes in two flavours. You have the option to run the pro version which is time limited or the basic version which you can continue to run after 30 days. It's still fine in this form - it's the way most people use it.

Zonealarm isn't a virus checker. The best free one is AVG. Personally I use AntiVir. The downloading updates option is the one to use - I don't imagine there's a send off for disks option.

Have a look at "Internet Security - Free!" under FAQ's which is a sticky at the top of the Techie Board.

I use AVG (free) anti virus and the Zone Alarm (free) firewall and IO think they are both great
