Windows Defender is designed for Windows XP, not older operating
systems. It prevents spyware from being installed so you do not have
to find the spyware AFTER it is installed and compromised the security
of your computer.

I used to run CA AV until I got Kaspersky for my own PC. It's OK, and i
run it on my dads PC cos he only got a Pentium 450 with 256Mb of RAM.
You can;t change many of the settings on CA AV but i was quite happy
with it for a year. The firewall is a rebadged ZONE ALARM.
No idea about AVAST, but if your PC will run it, just buy Kaspersky. It
really doesn;t cost very much, and is far easier than messing about with
the free crap....

Kaspersky or NOD32 are suggested.
If you *must* use a free anti virus, rather than a paid for solution, Avira
AntiVir is
suggested.

How is Avira doing in the magazine and site reviews in comparison to Avast,
AVG, Norton, and the leaders - NOD32 and Kaspersky?
Is there anyway to have two AV programs downloaded and installed with one
scanning and the other only opened and run when asked? It seems that the
instant you open these programs (after removing their startup commands from
the registry), they throw a string back in there and move into startup
again.

I don'r read reviews. I just know it is better in *many* ways.
Having two fully installed anti virus products installed is contrindicated and
should NOT be
done.
You can have one fully installed AV software application installed performing
"On Access"
and "On Demand" scannning and othe "On Demand" scanners.
That is why I wrote the Multi AV Scanning Tool which provides four "On Demand"
and to virus
scanners...
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the
PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm
