Free Download Antivirus: ThreatFire Antivirus

PCs are under constant attack from viruses, spyware and identity theft. Every day you hear about a new threat to your PC. They're coming faster than ever before, they're getting harder to stop and traditional antivirus products are not able to keep up.

Will your antivirus software catch the latest malware that just came out today? In most cases, no, because it simply does not know how to detect it yet. But ThreatFire's ActiveDefense technology does, and has proven to provide up to 243% more protection when combined with traditional AntiVirus products
If I already have antivirus software why do I need ThreatFire?

ThreatFire is dramatically different to traditional antivirus software. Normal antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat before they can provide adequate protection against it. The protection is then provided via a signature or fingerprint update, which must first be written by an antivirus researcher. This creates a large window of time where threats are undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus software installed.

Return of AVG's LinkScanner

When AVG Technologies slurped up Exploit Prevention Labs, it rolled the standalone LinkScanner security app into its popular antivirus offerings. While the newfound ability to rate search results and live Web pages for safety ratings lent AVG products some extra relevancy and clout, not everyone wants to download a full-blown security app just to get a warning or go-ahead to search a Web site.

Thankfully, AVG Technologies has seen the error of its bundling-only ways, and has rereleased LinkScanner as a free, standalone add-on for Firefox or Internet Explorer once again. This is particularly sanguine news for those who noted performance bungles when using rival software like McAfee SiteAdvisor (for Firefox and IE).

Those well-versed in the LinkScanner of yore won't see too many changes in the new LinkScanner 8.5. The usual red, yellow, and green flags emerge on Google and Yahoo search results, and on the Web page itself, to tip you off if the page in question might contain harmful or seedy elements.

We're glad to see LinkScanner back on its own, and after you read up on this handy security scout, you might be, too.
