So far I’ve shown you how to get free license for Kaspersky Anti-Virus, Norton AntiBot and a-squared Anti-Malware. That would have saved you hundreds of dollars for security software to protect your computer!

If you still remember, AOL Active Virus Shield has been replaced with McAfee VirusScan Plus Special Edition. I’ve tried both and they are basically the same. The only difference is AOL version is using serial number instead of user account for licensing. Many people wasn’t able to get the McAfee VirusScan Plus Special Edition from AOL because they fail to sign up for an AOL screen name. It always complains of wrong PHONE or ZIP CODE. Both of the information must tally or else it’ll fail. If you can’t get it from AOL, get it directly from McAfee using the method above ;)

it seems that mcafee has discontinued this offer or limited it to certain countries. accessing the mcafee download page / using the download manager from finland results in 404 and manager saying that there is no internet connectivity. tried using my isp\\\’s dns and opendns.
didn\’t work for me, it only gave me a 30 day trial.
Looks like it is no longer there

Hi,
Installed it,
Adding some info about this software,
It uses 30-40MB of RAM, so anyone with a RAM >512MB will not face any system slowdowns.
I am really surprised to see people branding these softwares as memory hogs, C\’mon people even a browser uses 50MB of RAM to run! Windows Explorer uses 30MB of RAM.
If you are on a PC with a RAM <256MB, stick to AVG/Avira.
One bad news for AVG enthusiasts, AVG 8 is not free!
It means No more free versions from AVG. You can use the old one with an update facility, thats all.
i ALWAYS get the message that there are no programs to install for my account. no matter how often i log in. :((
It\’s still working! Woohooo!!
Thanx!! :)
thank you for the system requirements. Like can you please also have a review of Avira Antivirus/Internet Security.
Just wnat to know more about ti
Thanks Raymond for sharing this grate information. I downloaded it and it is working fine. Expecting more like topics in the future.
Look carefully. It’s still there.
I didn\’t see the Banner
I also experienced trouble with the download manager telling me I had no programs to install. I logged out and then went to the U.S.-based site (mcafee.com); after logging in and running the manager, the program installed.
I would prefer to stick to Kaspersky 7.0, but still who knows mcafee can be one of the best av in the future. I wish Norton should become the best, but i like Kaspersky the most.
I just want to say thank you so much. Really it help us a lot.
thanks! you are definatly the best!
Thanks Ray.
Thanks Raymond, you are the best.
