After both AVG and Avast failed to find mutiple planted infected files, I
found BitDefender.
The free version does not have real time capability, so I set Task
Scheduler to open it every morning at 2 AM, and set BD to scan my entire
system at 2:30 AM. This gives it time to download updates, of which there
are several every day. Then, the next morning, I read the report, and
close it. It is set to quarantine suspicious files, of which it has never
found one.
People who are scared to death of running without real time virus defense
are probably practicing every bad habit in the book. A little safe
computing will protect you 99.9% of the time. The BitDefender scans are
just for my own peace of mind. But I will recommend it over any of the
other free AV programs. In my test, it alone found infected files that
none of the others could.
