Is this really a deal? It looks like they just renamed their free edition, and gave it a couple more features.


This is a good reminder. Great program.

they added real time protection which is a great feature and live update these were premium freatures


They try to get you to buy the Plus version (I do not blame them), so it looked like you needed to do a trial of something.

Thanks for the link.


I'm going to try it on an old PC which runs (Microsoft) Windows 2000 Pro, because Microsoft's (free) anti-spyware program Windows Defender, only runs on Win XP and Vista now.


To get a Pro version for free you need to accept one of their partners offers. Usually a trial of some sort (like DL 25 mp3 for free, etc). Otherwise it's $27. That is crap. No deal.

You can get Windows Defender to run on Windows 2000 by modifying the install file slightly.

Not that you'd want to run Windows Defender anyway. I've had to remove infections on two PCs within the last week that had Defender running on them. Adaware may be the better option.

That is another option. Follow the link OP gave. Click on it to download and select the optiion to download at the next sscreen. They try to get you to upgrade, but the free version is still there with no offers needed.

I used the built in update from the free 2008 edition to see if it was indeed different and after it updated some files it popped up this...

So it is indeed an update for those with 2008

Thanks


the free version is enough especially since the added a real time protection..the free version is the real deal

I tried a version of this, but it was always freezing up my computer.
