Hi,
Do you think that the free AV can be really as efficient that the other ones
?

Speaking as a Trend Internet Security user who was infected twice in the
last three months with variants of Troj_Dloader malware, yes. But on its
own, an AV programme is not enough.

accurately for viruses without getting in the way of the rest of the
computer's functions, some of the free ones are more efficient than some of
the most expensive. For instance, Norton and McAfee, and even Trend Micro in
some packages, are among the most *inefficient* applications out there,
whereas Avast!, AVG, and other free offerings are among the most efficient.
After that, it's a question of the definitions used, and whether or not
they're free has absolutely no bearing on those stats.
Understand, many of the best offerings are offered to home users for free by
huge companies that make their money serving business and industry clients,
and their logic is that the more home machines they can get protected,
preventing them from becoming zombies that distribute malware, the better
off business and industry are.
