[QUOTE="plat, post: 874101, member: 74969"] Both Kaspersky and Avast free appear to be very competent, according to comparatives studies. Both companies want your business, really badly. So they're not going to put themselves back into a bad public spotlight with more disclosures, not now. Maybe there's sneaky methods but at some point you have to declare "speculation," back off and take it on faith. There are network monitors but that's up to you. With any "free" antivirus, I add one or more truly free lightweight helpers like SysHardener or OSArmor plus a lot of OS hardening. If something affects the performance of the machine, it's off of here pronto. No exceptions. There's always at least one good alternative. [/QUOTE]
