I disocvered a new free antivirus. Considering I also will have malwairebytes antimalwaire installed, is it a good free anti virus?how does it compare to avast, m.s.e. and the other famous free ones?
if not, what are good free antiviruses?


I had to fix a computer just yesterday that was running UnThreat antivirus. I'm in the Tech world for close to 30 years, and never heard of UnThreat before. It missed 9 trojans. Microsoft Security Essentials caught and killed them all.

It is best to stick to the well known antivirus programs, as there are so many programs out there that pose as antivirus programs, but are actually virus/trojan/backdoor programs.

A good source when looking for free software is techsupportalert.com The volunteers there does a good job at evaluating free software, ranking them from good to bad, giving their pros and cons, etc.
