Post by: neXus on December 01, 2006, 13:43:55 PM
How gay is that, loads of ex free things not being free anymore, is the term freeware truly dieing now or something, really sucks since this was a good one.

So what other free decent virus checkers which dont hog resources are out there?

Its still free, its the current version 7.1 or something is expiring cause theres a new version 7.5 which is still free.  Its just a required updated thats all, so update it and you should be fine.

Dont run as an administrator, use a firewall/router, uninstall the antivirus, and learn to love the bomb.

My system I dont use it, others I do
Inquirer said it was going free, did not know it was just a version needed to get updated on.

I updated to the new 7.5 a few days ago and it still auto updates

edit: just read it again and think you mean 7.5 dont download with auto updates, I first thought you ment 7.5 doesnt auto update  ;)
