Viggen 643 Posted March 14, 2011 Hey guys I got my M11x and I'm amazed by it. Needs anti-virus though. Are there any free anti-virus softwares out there that are reliable? Want to be safe before I start browsing the web and downloading mods with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viggen 643 Posted March 14, 2011 I've had Avast on my desktop and it's worked well. But when I went on their website all I could find were payware versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted March 15, 2011 Another MSE user here. Using it since I went to Win7 and no problems. Aside from the way it handles large archive files like zips, rars, etc...if you have the real-time scanner on it will scan the entire file when you click it, whether it's an installer or whatever, and that can make installing things a bit slow. If you don't install often, it's easily overlooked. If you do, you can just turn off the RT scanning before running it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talez 0 Posted March 17, 2011 ClamAV Actually, I use Windows Security Essentials as well. It's free and provided by Microsoft themselves. Can't be worse. However, the best anti-virus software is you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
