Computer act!ve
Published on 2/2010
On test: Alwil Software Avast! Internet Security 5
"Avast is primarily known for its free anti-virus product. Previously, it’s been a decent but unpolished product, with good coverage but slightly unfriendly to use. For the new version 5, the program’s design has been given a complete overhaul, along with some changes in how it works. ..." Review details: Single Test   → Test results

"PC Tools Antivirus Free Edition review"

PC Advisor
Published on 8/2009
On test: PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition
Retaining the archaic and redundant distinction between malware and spyware, PC Tools Antivirus Free Edition manages to leave the back door open to a host of malware, that make its use questionable despite being free. Review details: Single Test   → Test results
