I hear you. In fact, I use both Ad-Aware and Spybot, both of which
are free. So I am not necessarily disagreeing with you, just
expressing a "default" prejudice I have to the effect that other
things being equal, you should assume that you are getting what you
pay for.
Is there any objective way to find out (e.g. comparative testing using
objective standards) if the free AV applications are at least as good
and up to date as, say, Norton or Trend-Micro?
