[QUOTE="Cortex, post: 848250, member: 54432"] Some years ago free AV tended to have updates less often even just daily that's not the case now as far as I'm aware - As for support I've always used pay for products but probably used support a couple of times the last was for Emsisoft to amalgamate licences - However I always use pay for AV partially because ESET, G Data, Norton & F-Secure etc don't do free versions, but happy to pay anyway . An interesting idea that Dr. Web has is you get a large discount for no support other than forum, good idea I think - I also detest products with ad's in which some free products use, some are happy with that though.
