aspnetguy Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I use AVG free with Ad-Aware, S&D and browse with only Firefox and I haven't gotten any viruses in almost 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skemcin Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I use AVG free with Ad-Aware, S&D and browse with only Firefox and I haven't gotten any viruses in almost 2 years.My set up is the same, except I don't use AdAware I enable S&D's Tea Timer application. In any case, I've been just as fortunate (knock on wood) as aspnetguy.I think Grisoft's approach is to let the client software go for free, but charge for (and subsequently make more money with) the server software that protects an entire network of clients. Using the free client as a base of "xxxx number of installs" as just one aspect of credibility. I like that approach - esp. since the client stuff is free.

Overall I find that it is a very good product.Skemcin what is Tea Timer...I just started using S&D recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skemcin Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 You'll have to scroll down a little but here is the FAQs on it:http://www.safer-networking.org/en/faq/index.htmlI like that it only allows access to the browser "Internet Options" through the Control Panel - most importantly, it prompts you when a change to critical registry keys is attempted.

Eriathan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I also use AVG on XP with FF and never had to worry again about viruses, and it's been this way for like 2+ years!This is an amazing product which, combined to the ZoneAlarm free firewall, has kept me safe so far.
