Free Year of CA Antivirus

[Guest Heather]

Saw this today on the antivirus group......but I doubt that I will go

back to it. Confusing as Avast can be at times, I think I prefer their

detection rate and the fact that it always updates.......not like CA.

But it is worthwhile knowing it is out there.

I took CA off Johns computer and installed Avast so I doubt if I'll put it

back on even though It's free, didn't it used to be free before Heather I

seem to recall that you ran it for quite a while like that.

Yes, I used it since it was Inoculate It PE.....eons ago. Kept finding

free copies via Microsoft and finally went to Avast a year ago when I

had to pay for it. So Avast took some getting used to cuz I had only

ever used Norton (yech) before, I think.

 

Oh, and I used to have the manual one on here......memory fails

me......aha, F-Prot. Good little proggie that was. The man who wrote

that (Fridrik Skulason, I believe) was amazing. As you know, I am a

genealogist, but this man has EVERYONE IN ICELAND on his database. Now

that is Amazing!!

 

Cheers.....Heather

Re: Free Year of CA Antivirus

 

I have CA on my mother's machine. I don't especially like the program....it

is too bloated and not user friendly. Their renewals are too expensive and

the scan is painfully slow. As soon as her subscription runs out, Avast! or

AVG will be on her machine!!

Heirloom, old and free is all CA is

worth.......IMHO

Re: Free Year of CA Antivirus

 

Hi Heather:

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Unfortunately, the link disqualified me as a previous participant, since I

tried this offer several years ago.

 

Also, I noticed that CA A/V only supports Win 2000, XP, and Vista (and only

the 32-bit edition of these).

 

(See: http://shop.ca.com/virus/antivirus.aspx .)

 

Win 98/ME are no longer supported, as is the case with most anti-virus

products these days.

 

The main exception to the rule seems to be avast!, which continues to

support Win 9x/ME (thankfully) in their latest release.

 

Cheers,

O.J.

Which is where GMail and throw away e-mail addresses can come to the fore.

Not that I am bothered now with CA but if you were to do so don't try

using any of Ossie Laden, Joe Blow, John Doe Jr., Harvey Pingu, AnonAnon

and others I cannot now remember as they've all had their free licence.
