Re: What is the best free av app

I'll check it out. Do you know if there is any problem with
having more than one installed but only one set to protect
and being able to manually run a scan with either? Do you
need to disable the other while scanning?

I also run free versions of SpyBot S&D, Ad-Aware Personal
se, Spyware Blaster, Windows Defender and Zone Alarm
firewall.

as well as Exploit code.
