Avast and other scanners

Yo, I just got Avast pro, and I wanted to know what you all recomend for my secound scanner. I do this and that, and I have learned not to rely on just 1 virus scanner to catch every thing. Any one out there useing a combo thats working out good ?

Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

There have been many threads regarding this so you might want to search the forum a little bit AVG Anti Malware(ewido) would be my suggestion but there are endless possibilities ;D

Do you mean, non-resident? Just for on-demmand scannings? I just tested free ones, not others.

  1. BitDefender (free) is easy to be at a second scanner.
  2. ClamWin (without the email plugin) works too.
  3. AVG antivirus (free) works but you must take care (not installing plugins and guard). Email scanning will conflict with avast if installed.
  4. Antivir (free) requires manual changes to be in the same computer as avast.
  5. F-Prot for DOS.

Anyway, take care and know what you’re doing or you’ll have conflicts in your computer 8)
