Antivirus

I bought Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 like 6 months ago and just now I noticed I can upgrade free of charge to their latest 2010 version, which is SWEEEEET and I upgraded like 10 minutes ago, yeah baby !
I was under the impression you need to pay something if you upgrade from an older version of software, when it comes to antivirus stuff. I’m curious if other antivirus providers have the same offer, for future references.

Depending on when you purchase your software, you may be eligible for free upgrades if you bought it close enough to the release of the new version. It happened with Windows 7, for instance.

I still prefer free stuff like Avira though

…… or AVG (just 2 name it).

So the performance with 8.0 was not very fast,
it’s doing much better again since 8.5 / 9.0.
And it scans your emails.

AVG is cool for your pc speed but in the short period of time i had it installed …… well lets just say the trojans and other species of viruses had set up a bootcamp on my HDD. It’s good for those that just surf where they know it’s safe, example - the starport.net, but if you wanna go anywhere else, you’re in serious risk, well my 2 cents anyway.
Avira … dunno, never used it but I did hear good things about it.
