  1. I’ve been using Eset’s free Online Scanner for years, and it has kept my computers clean. I’ll give it my best recommendation. It’s not a fast scanner, but it’s customizable – and it deletes nothing, unless you ask it to either delete or put the threats i quarantine.

  2. Hi VG,

    Earlier, I was using on Vista Home Basic OS following Antivirus programmes ” MSE + Panda Cloud + Kingsoft Antivirus” (Later two are known as Cloud Antivirus) and having no issues with local MSE as well as with system performance). Now I am using Windows 7 Professional with MSE alone, can I use any one of them simultaneously for better protection? Will they have any issues with local antivirus MSE and/or performance of system?

    Some of the above mentioned online antivirus are free to install and for analysis but do not block virus, to block virus they ask us to pay can you revise the list or bifurcate them between totally free and trial purpose.

    Also earlier I had used Immunet and PC Tools antivirus as cloud antivirus having no issues with MSE on Vista Home basic but performance of system became very poor, so I removed them. Out of which PC Tools antivirus has stopped further developement but Immunate is still active what is your opinion for Immunet?

    Also I want to ask whether Online antivirus and Cloud antivirus are one and same?

    Regards

  3. ^^ Its always advised to use one antivirus at a time. So use only one antivirus. If you want free antivirus, try avast! or avira.
