Free Online Scans : Virus, Spyware & Internet Security

Free Online Scans : Virus, Spyware & Internet Security

None of the anti-virus or anti-spyware utilities have a detection rate of 100%. Far from it!
In addition to AVG Anti-Virus, SpyWare Doctor and Zone Alarm Firewall installed on my PCs, sometimes, I also use online scans.
Here is a list of the ones I know:

Could your post have helped TK Maxx? .

 

We must have used T. K. Maxx at least a dozen times; last year alone. Seem to have got away with it. Touch wood! Apparently those big numbers are not as significant as they first appear. Full story at

I'll stick with mac cheers

 

Hackers have been known to gain access even into highly protected systems used in defence establishments.

What chance does the little old 'mac' has?!

 

Every chance given the complete lack of interest by hackers and crackers. Not sure whether this says good or bad things about Macs and Mac users though.

 

FWIW NOD32 seems to stand head and shoulders above virtually all other AV systems. Plus it uses the least system resources whilst running.

McAfee are one of our main customers, but we recently replaced their AV product with NOD32 across all our PC's.
