Free
Anti-Virus Programs
If you're downloading files from the Net, then you should be
sure to protect yourself first with a good anti-virus utility.
Viruses are small programs that can be contained in any type of
executable file that you download. Their effects can range from
mischievous pranks to serious damage of your computer.
Before you fork over $40 or so for a commercial product, check
out one of the excellent free anti-virus utilities that we list
below.
The programs we list here will either clean and/or scan your
computer for viruses. And be sure that you check with the
provider of the anti-virus program that you download for
periodic updates, as new viruses are appearing all the time on
the Web. Please send us E-mail
if you're aware of any similar free programs that we haven't
listed below, or if you find dead or expired links. All listings
