I'm not even courageous enough to try that one.As far as alternate Virus protection goes, in addition to Clamwin, I have personally tried <a href="http://www.avira.com/" rel="nofollow">Avira</a> and <a href="http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?" rel="nofollow">AOL Active Virus Shield</a>. Either of those is more than adequate. I've never needed any commercial solutions myself. Thilak: Aah Vista … I’m not even courageous enough to try that one.

It misses out on a heck of a lot of trojans. Best Free option : Avira AntiVir. This is better than paid optoins like norton, mcaffe, pc-cillin, panda etc. Best over all : Kaspersky Antivirus.While choosing an AV pay close attention to it's detection rate and update frequency. Av-Comparatives and virus.gr tests av software at regular intervals. Clamwin is also absolute crap. It misses out on a heck of a lot of trojans.
