AOL has released a FREE antivirus package to the general public. We think they have a winner here. Other than the Phishing toolbar it installs on Internet Explorer it doesn’t seem to have any other catches (not your typical AOL style). During our tests it accurately found and was able to remove a bevy of viruses we threw at it. Are the days of pay anti viruses over? PC Cillin still resides as the number one antivirus on my main machine (call me old fashioned) but AOL’s Active Virus Shield is a likely candidate for spare machines sitting around ready to get infected.
Active Virus Shield’s back end is based on Kaspersky’s Technology and it includes real time scanning of files and emails. The virus definitions are released hourly and it will automatically update itself every hour.
