Avast Home Edition

Version: 4.8.1201.80611

The Anti-Virus protection - The Choice

Pros: YES it is a great tool and is always online checking all of your active files. When other programs check the system, this program is also checking the files as each of them are scanned. After the installation, it takes a long time to do the first scan to check all of the files in the system, but it is worth the time for the viruses it seems to find. It always seems to find what Norton, McAfee, and AVG do not. AVG is not terrible, but Avast is much better and less intrusive. The updates are seemless and that goes for both data and program. You do not need to download anything or install anything after the initial installation.

Avast is effective and a great tool for protection.

Whatever you do make sure you register the program to get your free license number and then copy it into the license key field. This is required to make sure it continues to run after the initial trial period. There is no charge for the key.

Cons: My only complaints are the length of time for initial scan, and the program skin as it is awkward. NOTE: You almost never use the program interface as it takes care of itself most of the time.

SpywareBlaster

Version: 4.1

Great preventive measures

Pros: It is simple and easy to use. It is geared to do one main thing and that is to prevent spyware from having a chance.

Cons: i think the distance of the preventive measures are just the beginning and more can be done. With the help of Spybot Search and Destroy and Advanced windows care i get a lot more results and protection.

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Version: 1.5

Top Notch - and the latest update is even better

Pros: It is a great product and my first choice for Spyware removal. It does not find everything, but it is sure quite reliable and respectable. It is the best Anti-Spyware program now on the books and there are many more features than just the basic search and fix functions. Immunize has a huge selection, and the advanced functions are quite complete. It has a scheduler for total automatic running on a daily basis. Take my word for it, and DONATE to help support the continuation of this program. Worth donating to.

Cons: I just wish it could be the only choice for ANTI-Spyware. There is no single choice and would love for this one to be the only choice, or the only one needed. It needs to be able to search for more and find more. I know it does miss some.

Advanced WindowsCare Personal

Version: 2.6

top notch - required addition to your protection

Pros: Yes this is everything you may have read about it already. I put this program first when trying to clean up any system. The second two with this program are regseeker and ccleaner. These three do more to clean up your system and protect you than anything you might find. Advanced windows care on most systems will get you cleaned up and working faster. The first thing to do when you get started is to go to the options selection in the upper right corner and do the updates. They do fairly regular updates and this will enhance the value this program offers. The value is invaluable and a must have in your security protection arsenal.

Cons: i think the basic interface could be better for the very basic and average user. the scheduler would be nice to get it to perform regularly without any intervention and being able to set the setting to check for the updates automatically as well. The average user will not do this regularly so scheduling this at startup of some other time would be a wonderful addition.
