Free Antivirus For Virgin Customers

Every computer connected to the internet is vulnerable to viruses, fraud and infiltration. This leaves our pockets prey to the software protection industry s heavy charges to keep us safe.

Yet it s possible to get legal, professional-quality antivirus and other protective software, absolutely free.

Always be careful to check any software you put on your computer is suitable and compatible with your existing set-up. No liability can be accepted for any individual problems caused by acting upon the information given.

Five simple ways to protect yourself

Getting software to protect your computer is, unfortunately, a must these days. But before you get there, you can take simple actions to up your protection without any new programs:

Keep your software up-to-date

Even if your computer comes off the shelf with a level of protection, threats change daily. So it s imperative you keep it up-to-date or else it s useless. Get instructions on how to update Windows, or set your computer to download updates automatically.

For Windows 7, just click on Start, go to Control Panel and click the System and Security icon, then go to the Windows Updates section where you can toggle automatic updates on or off. The same goes for dedicated antivirus software see the top free protection below. Keep it up-to-date, and do a full system scan once a week.

Users of Apple Macs and Linux have slightly less to worry about in terms of viruses, as there still aren t so many floating about for them. Nonetheless, Mac users should grab free antivirus software too.

Protect your identity online

With more and more of us using the web to bank online and do other sensitive things, coming up with solid passwords is more important than ever.

It may seem obvious, but don t use the same log-in for lots of sites. If one falls into the wrong hands, your whole online life is up for grabs. Remembering lots of different ones is tricky, so try picking one and just add a few letters to it related specifically to each site you re logging into.

Ensure you change your passwords frequently. Use a free password generator to get a completely random, but secure password.

Switch it off.

Switching your computer off when you aren t using it doesn t just save energy, it stops others accessing it while you re away. At the very least, disconnect your broadband when you don t need the web.

While your PC s on, and after you ve been browsing, is a prime time for malware malicious software attacks. So switching off is a good preventative measure.

Don t open unknown email attachments

Most web crime still happens via email, so be on guard when checking yours. Don t open any attachments you re not expecting, or click any random links you find in the text see the Phishing Scams guide.

If you re unsure if a site s legit, whack the name into Google and see what comes up. It may be listed as a bad un.

Only download software from trusted websites

Looking for a piece of software. Find out which company makes it first and then go to its site to get it, rather than a third party site found via Google. For smaller free/shareware programs, try using big sites like Cnet s Download.com, rather than just getting them from anywhere that shows up.

For advanced downloaders OK, nerds : when using

torrents

, avoid. exe files wherever possible. If you must tempt fate, make sure they re thoroughly scanned first.

The banks say if you don t have it, you could be liable

If you re not protected and someone uses your computer to get passwords, or accesses your bank account or other financial products, you may find it harder to get a refund.

The burden of proof s on the bank to show you didn t act with care, but it s best to be safe. For more on what to do if you think you ve been defrauded, read the ID Fraud Protection guide.

What are the main threats.

Threats to your computer come in different guises with various funky names. Collectively, they re considered malicious software, or malware. . The main types are:

Viruses. Hidden programs that wreak havoc

These are transmitted via websites, email attachments, directly over the internet or via any other removable media. They hide in applications or files and spread from computer to computer, generally wreaking havoc wherever they get the chance to.

Trojans. Bugs within harmless-looking files

Trojan horses are hidden within a harmless-looking file eg, a picture of a celebrity or progam ironically, they re often dressed up as anti-virus tools. They aim to trick the user into installing malicious software, like spyware or adware on the computer.

Worms. Can drill in via open web connections

Worms take advantage of any open internet connection. They try to sneak in and replicate on the computer. Once loaded, they often start to send spam email from your computer without your knowledge.

It s often about big, organised crime

It s a common misconception that producing computer viruses is the domain of angst-ridden web kids with little to do, showing off to their equally reclusive peers. While there may have been some truth in this at the beginning, and of course it still happens, these days it s often about big criminal business. Why would they do it.

Stealing your information

Cracking into your computer can reveal a breadth of information about you. It could include your bank details for ID fraud or for just directly taking your cash.

Grabbing your email contacts

A program could grab all the emails in your address book/contacts list to find real addresses to sell to spammers. These people may well then be emailed from your address.

Using your computer to threaten websites

Some viruses allow your computer to be controlled in order to create a DDOS attack. This is where a website is closed down due to simulated, simultaneous use by billions of users. This can be for political reasons, a ransom, to hurt competitors or just for fun.

Many of the people whose computers cause this are unaware it s happening, as viruses are controlling their web connections. MoneySavingExpert.com was hit by such an attack. Ironically, some of the people denied access for three days could ve been contributing to the closure via hidden viruses on their system.

Free antivirus software

Pay for antivirus software from biggies like Symantec/Norton or Kaspersky and it ll cost around 50 per year. Yet you can get free software which, while not quite as effective as paid-for programs, still keeps on top of threats. Regardless of which route you take, heed the following:

Hackers develop new bugs constantly. All these free antivirus services offer regular updates, so make sure you get them.

It s not just about how up-to-date your software is. If you re not using it, what s the point. Try to fit in a full on-demand scan that is, one where the virus scanner flicks through all the files on your hard drive once a week. This should make sure nothing slips through the net.

Antivirus: Free PC software downloads

McAfee online banking suite. Normally paid for - free to MBNA cardholders

All MBNA cardholders can get a year s free access to McAfee s Online Banking Suite, which includes its well-rated pro antivirus, virus and spyware programs, and more. It s normally 60. If you don t cancel before the complementary year s up, it takes 30 for the next year s access 50 off RRP.

Kaspersky. Normally paid for - free to Barclays customers

Barclays online banking customers can grab a free 12-month Kaspersky Internet Security antivirus subscription RRP 50. It comes very highly-rated by various tech publications, so it s a must-have if you bank with Barclays. It s renewable free of charge after the first year - you just have to re-activate it.

Microsoft Security Essentials - totally free

Launched in 2009, Microsoft s Security Essentials antivirus package continues to improve. The package is completely free to users of genuine Windows machines, ie, it ll verify your copy. Three versions are available, for XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

The software s unobtrusive and provides quick, and increasingly comprehensive protection from viruses, trojans, rootkits, and spyware. Antivir below provides marginally better cover in tests. Yet most casual Windows users won t go wrong with Microsoft s own offering, as it feels and runs like part of the regular operating system rather than an added extra.

Avast. 7 - totally free

Alwil s Avast. antivirus is now in version 7, which boasts an improved interface and better detection. So much so, it s leapfrogged Avira s AntiVir in our rankings.

Avira Antivir - totally free

The free antivirus software of choice for many techies,

Antivir s won many tech publications free antivirus round-ups by providing both the most thorough and fastest software protection. If you have the know-how, it ll do everything you want it to, but it s best for those that know their way around a PC.

AVG Free - totally free

With a long history, and lots of modifications to provide a better service, the protection provided by the AVG Free antivirus current version is reasonably thorough, though it doesn t offer any real tech support.

AVG is unobtrusive, doesn t use too many resources, and will regularly auto-update. It includes LinkScanner - real-time threat detection, which checks links out when you re surfing the web on Firefox and Internet Explorer only, and marks unsafe threats with red flags.

LinkScanner is also available separately as an under-1MB sized plugin for those who already use another antivirus though check compatibility.

Antivirus: Free Mac downloads

Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac

Simple to

use, Sophos antivirus for Mac runs in the background while

you work, scanning files for threats whenever your Mac

opens them. It s had fab reviews in techie publications, but has been known

to slow down some systems.

ClamXAV 2 Antivirus for Mac

Borne of the open source virus checker ClamAV, ClamXAV 2 antivirus adds a user interface for Mac OSX, so it s accessible to non-tech heads. Though it s free, it accepts donations towards its upkeep. It s a tad techie, but it s great if you want to scan files for Windows threats before sending them onwards.

Firewall software - do you need it.

Antivirus software isn t the only protection your computer needs. If you don t have a firewall, you re leaving all your files and sensitive information vulnerable. Effectively:

Antivirus the border patrol checking what s allowed in.

Firewall the fence stopping it getting there in the first place.

So why aren t we all going firewall mad. That s because these days we tend to connect to the web via a router, rather than just a modem, and routers provide a hardware firewall. Ensure yours is switched on and set to a high enough security level. Consult the manual or search online for the make and model number if you don t know how to check.

While you re there, check your router password has been changed from its default. You d be surprised at how many connections are hacked and how much havoc wreaked simply because the standard password hasn t been changed. Spend a little time to get your settings right here, as router firewalls give a higher level of protection than software ones.

If you don t connect via a router, or you re just big on online security, here are the top freebies:

Firewalls: Free PC software downloads

Windows Firewall

Windows XP, Vista and 7 have a firewall built in, which should be enough for most people especially those who already have router firewalls, but make sure it s switched on and your copy of Windows is up-to-date. The firewall

can be set on low, medium and high levels of protection.

If the Windows firewall is set on high, you may need to spend some time tweaking its settings in the Control Panel to stop it becoming a nuisance. By default, it ll stop you downloading files over MSN Messenger, and it ll block a whole load of programs that download from the web.

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall

Check Point s ZoneAlarm free firewall comes highly commended by techie website Cnet. The latest version offers quieter outbound protection, behavioural detection, automatic wi-fi security setting activation, anti-phishing protection, and 2GB of online storage for free. It s light on resources and heavy on security, so worth checking out.

Outpost Firewall Free Edition

Agnitum s Outpost Free Edition offers the ideal combination of top protection and user-friendliness. It s a totally free product so there are no nag screens to contend with, and comes highly rated by numerous tech sites.

Comodo Personal Firewall

It s totally free but you ll need to register and activate the licence by email within 30 days of installation. While Comodo outperforms many similar offerings, it can be pretty intrusive, especially if you just want a firewall that does its job quietly.

Firewalls: Free Mac downloads

Built-in: Mac Firewall

Since the early days, all web-ready Macs have come with some sort of firewall as standard. Which yours offers depends on what version of OSX you re using; to check your settings; go to Preferences Security.

Luckily, it s good - as far as we can see there are no other decent free firewalls for Macs.

If you know or use any other free antivirus packages or firewall software, please share them in the forum discussion.

Adware and spyware

There are other types of malware you can find on your computer. Often legitimate developers will design programs that have useful functions, but they ll also provide the owner with useful information about you or try to sell you things. They fall into two main categories:

Adware. Pop-ups that try to sell you things

Adware is malware that sneaks onto your machine and opens up pop-up windows that sell you things - often, but not exclusively, gambling sites.

It s easy to assume these are related to the site you were visiting, yet often they aren t - it s adware.

If you ve closed your browser, but pop-up windows still appear on your desktop, chances are you ve been infected.

Spyware. It tracks what you do

Spyware is a more dangerous, less noticeable type of malware. It covertly grabs information from your PC and sends it back to its leader out in the cyber-ether.

Owing undoubtedly to their potential for criminal money-making, malicious spyware programs have become much more advanced in recent years, to the extent that some of the top spyware removers of yesterday can no longer cope.

Basic anti-adware/spyware measures:

To put your mind at rest you ll need to download some extra software. In the meantime, there are a couple of basic ways to fight back:

Use a pop-up blocker If you re being troubled by adware, use a pop-up blocker to alleviate the symptoms while you find a solution. Be aware though, that not all pop-ups are bad - some sites open new windows in this way. If you want to see them, hold down CTRL while clicking the link.

Check whether you allowed the spyware

There are a couple of legit spyware programs too. If you allow it to, Google s Desktop can send info on what you ve been searching back to Google, and Alexa s toolbar can do the same. In both cases these firms want to monitor your computer to help develop their products with data about people s searching habits.

Whether you allow this depends on how you want the information to be used. It s mostly harmless, but does mean someone, somewhere has access to your searching habits.

Be careful when downloading

The usual way for ad/spyware programs to get on your computer is by attaching themselves to other things you download. So make sure you check the veracity of download sources before getting files.

Delete programs you don t use

Use the add/delete function on your Control Panel to get rid of any programs you don t need anymore - they may be corrupted.

Like most antivirus tools, spyware removers work by comparing what s on your machine to a list of known offenders. As ever, the top anti-ad/spyware programs are commercial, but that doesn t necessarily mean you need to buy them. Try these first:

Ad/spyware removal: Free PC downloads

Ad-Aware Free Edition

Ad-Aware s great at detecting and removing malware, and this new version works even faster than previous ones. On the downside though, most of its features are locked in the free version. If you make it your primary tool, you won t be fully protected.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free Edition

While the free version doesn t provide real-time protection or scheduled updates, Anti-Malware is still powerful enough to make a big difference. As a lightweight program, it s pretty quick too.

Spybot - Search Destroy

Spybot s been going for a while, and while it has a pretty long list of features, it s always received mixed feedback. It s fairly processor-hungry, so if your computer s already slow it ll be an unwelcome addition.

Ad/spyware removal: Free Mac downloads

MacScan 2.9.4

SecureMac s MacScan software is built to detect, isolate and remove spyware apps like keystroke loggers, as well as blacklisted cookies saved on your system. This one s a 30-day free trial; you ll pay 40 to upgrade if you like it, or else just delete once the trial s finished.

AVG LinkScanner Mac Edition

Not really an anti-spyware tool, but AVG s LinkScanner is worth a look for Mac users. It uses real-time threat detection which checks links out when you re surfing the web Firefox and Internet Explorer only, and marks unsafe ones with red flags so you know not to click them.

Dodging spam emails

Want dodgy Viagra or a fake watch. Want to invest in non-existent shares or visit fraudulent pornography sites. Or do you just want to click on a fake email from your bank to have your password stolen.

You may think it unlikely anyone would say yes, but if that were true, criminals wouldn t bother sending out the emails.

Read the full Phishing Scam guide for more.

For most of us, spam is time-consuming to wade through and potentially dangerous.

Sadly, while you can register to stop junk mail or phone calls see Junk the Junk guide, the same isn t true with spam email. Still, here are some dos and don ts to keep the spammers at bay:

Spam dos and don ts

DO use your email provider s filtering tools

Most big email clients such as Google, Hotmail and Yahoo. have their own filtering system to stop spam. Check your settings and make sure the filter is switched on.

DON T write your email address online

Only give out your email address to people you know. Don t post it on public internet forums including MoneySavingExpert.com s or chat rooms. Spammers often use software robots, or bots, to read all forums, store any emails and spam them.

DO set up email rules if possible

If you download your emails to a computer, eg, using Microsoft s Outlook, you can create rules to stop common spam by entering key words, eg, VIAGRA, so those emails are automatically filtered. But spammers try to beat it through mis-spelling words or using numbers in place of letters, eg, V14GRA, so you ll have to block out other combinations too.

DON T block emails you want.

Blocking spam s by no means an exact science, and thus important emails may also be blocked. For example, the term mortgage is commonly filtered out as spam, so you could miss an important note from your broker while applying.

The way around this is to make sure you ve added senders whose emails you d like to receive to your accepted list. The same goes for this site s weekly MoneySaving email; its combination of freebies, money, mortgage and debt info means it can easily get caught in spam filters.

For those that don t get it, you can add yourself to the distribution list at moneysavingexpert.com/tips.

Free back-up software

We ve all had moments of horror even in this very office where due to hardware failure, power cuts or just plain ol silly mistakes, precious documents disappear. As more and more of our lives are committed to the digital domain, backing up data is becoming more and more important. Since there are ways to do it free, you ll only have yourself to blame if you don t.

If your PC broke, what files would you miss most. These are the ones you should be backing up as a minimum.

Use hardware

If you d rather keep more tangible copies of your files, the options are either storing them on CDs and DVDs you ll need a CD/DVD writer, or on an external USB hard drive for bigger/more files. As technology marches on, the latter are getting increasingly cheap; 1TB 1,000GB for around 60 is now the norm if you buy online.

Use online storage

Online storage, or cloud storage services as they re also known, use a virtual hard drive that s installed on your desktop and linked directly to your online space.

There are a whole load of online storage services available, with many offering a few GB of free space. See Free Online Storage for a full list.

Software of the last resort: Recovery programs

If you ve already lost valuable files, there may still be some hope in the form of recovery programs. Freeware programs Restoration and PC Inspector work to recover lost files, but as you may expect, it s a bit of a lottery as to whether they actually succeed.

An antivirus utility that removes and defends against viruses, Trojans, rootkits, spyware, and all types of malicious software is totally doing its job. Yes, some vendors pack all sorts of goodies into their nominally stand-alone antivirus tools, but those goodies aren t required. The relatively new Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition 2014 sticks with the essentials, and does quite a good job.

Bitdefender Free is clearly meant to be as unobtrusive as possible. There s no configuration required, none at all. The most you can do is turn off real-time protection and turn off the background automatic scan but why would you do that. The main window is tiny, and it vanishes any time you click on another window. If the real-time protection or the background scanner find and fix any problems, you ll get a transient balloon notification near the product s system tray icon. This makes it a great choice for those who want an antivirus that just quietly does its job.

Like Norton, Kaspersky, and some others, Bitdefender no longer applies a version number or year number to the antivirus or other security products. I ve appended 2014 to the name, so we can distinguish this edition from future number-free editions.

Some Installation Woes

Bitdefender Free s installer runs a quick scan that s intended to wipe out any active malware that might interfere with the installation process. The pre-installs scan did find problems on several test systems. I got the product up and running on eight of my twelve malware-infested test systems with no trouble.

Ransomware made installation impossible on one system, and malware actively killed the installer on another. On advice from tech support, I downloaded and burned a copy of Bitdefender s impressive Rescue CD. A Rescue CD scan solved both of these problems.

I worked with tech support through email, since that s the only way users of the free edition get support. I will confess that I got super-expedited email service, to speed the completion of my testing.

On one test system the system repeatedly hung during Bitdefender s installation. After a scan with the Rescue CD, I managed to install the product. However, the system had totally lost connectivity. A good bit of email back and forth with tech support got this system s connectivity restored.

Another test system suffers a ton of visibly active malware processes including what I had thought to be a fake antivirus. Bitdefender Free identified it as a real antivirus from China and asked to have it removed to avoid a conflict. It would appear that this antivirus was installed as a kind of smokescreen by a malware program that it doesn t detect; very tricky.

On this system the pre-install scan requested a reboot to finish its cleanup not once by twice. Unfortunately, after the second reboot the system got stuck in an endless loop of logging off and logging on; it would not start. The tech support team requested logs generated in the Rescue CD environment. Cleaning up this system using the Rescue CD took over 24 hours. Tech support sent scripts to perform fixes and gather more data. Over a period of several days they managed to get the collateral damage to this system repaired.

The free Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.70 installed on all my test systems without any problem. Admittedly, these were test systems infested with my previous malware collection, and Malwarebytes is strictly a cleanup tool, with no ongoing protection. Ad-Aware Free Antivirus 10.5 also installed with little or no trouble, and it did the job on the same systems that gave Bitdefender Free so much trouble.

Very Good Malware Cleanup

As an ordinary user, you don t actually have to run a full malware scan. There isn t even a button for it in the minimal user interface. If you simply install the program and ignore it, you ll find that it runs a quick scan in the background, during idle time. If the quick scan finds any traces of malware, it switches to running a deep scan in the background.

For testing purposes, I chose the Full scan option from the antivirus s tray menu. Keeping consistent with its unobtrusive style, Bitdefender Free doesn t display a big progress bar, or a percentage-complete indicator, or the name of the file currently being checked. It does use the border of the Manual Scan panel as a very subtle progress bar, and turns the border red or green on completion, depending on whether malware was or wasn t found.

Bitdefender Free detected 81 percent of my malware samples and scored 6.2 points for malware removal. Ad-Aware detected more, 83 percent, but it only earned 5.8 points due to less thorough cleanup. The top detection rate and overall score among products tested with my current malware collection both go to the unusual removal-only tool Jumpshot, which detected 86 percent of the samples and scored 6.5 points.

Tested with my previous malware collection, AVG Anti-Virus FREE 2013 took 6.5 points. Comodo Internet Security Complete 2013, Norton AntiVirus 2013, and Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013 all got 6.6 points, and Malwarebytes topped out this group with 7.1 points.

For a full explanation of my malware blocking test methodology, see How We Test Malware Removal.

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition 2014 malware removal chart

Very Good Malware Blocking

Bitdefender Free s Virus Shield component uses on-access scanning for malware, behavior-based detection, blocking malicious URLs, and a variety of other techniques to prevent new malware attacks on your protected system. In testing, it did a very good job.

Blocking malicious URLs can be the first line of defense; if you can t even visit the dangerous URL, there s no chance it can hit you with a drive-by download. When I attempted to re-download my current malware collection, Bitdefender Free blocked access to 91 percent of those whose URLs are still functional.

Next I opened a folder containing previously downloaded copies of those samples. It took a while, but Bitdefender Free s on-access scanner killed off 81 percent of those. I also tried it with a folder containing hand-modified versions of the same malware samples; its detection was not affected at all by my tweaking.

After launching those samples that weren t wiped out on sight, I tallied up Bitdefender Free s results. It detected 92 percent of the samples and scored an impressive 9.0 points, the same figures as earned by G Data AntiVirus 2014. Note, though, that Ad-Aware detected 94 percent of these same samples and scored an impressive 9.4 points.

As for products tested with my previous collection, Webroot rules the roost, with a near-perfect 9.9 points. AVG Free took 9.4 points, better than two-thirds of the paid and free products tested with that same collection. For details on how I perform this malware blocking test, see How We Test Malware Blocking.

Loved by the Labs

I can t report on how the independent antivirus testing labs rate Bitdefender Free, as they haven t specifically tested this product. However, Bitdefender technology in general gets the very best ratings from all of the labs. To start, ICSA Labs and West Coast Labs certify Bitdefender for both virus detection and removal. Bitdefender has also earned VB100 certification in all of the last ten tests by Virus Bulletin.

German testing lab AV-Test rates products on Protection, Performance, and Usability, assigning up to six points in each category. With a maximum of 18 points possible, Bitdefender earned 17 points in both of the most recent tests, a better score than all other products tested.

Based in Innsbruck, AV-Comparatives runs a wide variety of tests on antivirus products. The File Detection test checks how well a product detects current malware, while the retrospective test attempts to measure detection of zero-day malware by forcing tested products to use old definitions. Carried out over a period of weeks, the Real-World Protection test measures how well products defend against the very latest malware. Bitdefender earned an ADVANCED rating, the highest rating, in all of these tests.

Once again, Bitdefender Free wasn t specifically tested, but it does use the Bitdefender technology that rated so high. For more about the independent labs whose tests I follow, see How We Interpret Antivirus Lab Tests.

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition 2014 lab tests chart

Impressive Phishing Protection

As noted earlier, Bitdefender Free did a good job detecting and blocking malware-hosting websites. That same technology also blocks phishing sites fraudulent sites that attempt to steal your credentials for bank sites or other sensitive sites.

I use Norton s phishing protection as a touchstone, because it consistently does a good job detecting even the very newest phishing sites. I challenged Bitdefender Free, Norton, and Internet Explorer 8 with the exact same collection of reported but not verified new phishing sites. I kept at it until I had 100 verifiable phishing sites, then tallied the results.

Impressively, Bitdefender s detection rate was a whole percentage point higher than Norton s. The only recent antivirus that did better was McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2013, which beat Norton by four percentage points.

Bitdefender Free also beat out Internet Explorer by a wide margin. Admittedly, IE had a bit of a bad week. It averages 39 percentage points worse than Norton; this week it was 58 points behind. Note that two-third of current products that claim to detect and block phishing sites are less accurate than Internet Explorer 8 s SmartScreen filter alone.

The article How We Test Antiphishing explains exactly how I find very new phishing websites and derive these scores.

Smart and Silent

If you want near-invisible protection from malware attacking your virus-free PC, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition 2014 is definitely a good choice. However, in my testing I had significant difficulty getting it installed on systems where malware had already made itself at home. Unless you can guarantee your PC is virus-free, consider scanning with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.70 before installing Bitdefender Free. Malwarebytes is our Editors Choice for free, cleanup-only antivirus.

AVG Anti-Virus FREE 2013 and Ad-Aware Free Antivirus 10.5 share the Editors Choice honor for full-scale free antivirus. However, if you prefer the look and style of Bitdefender Free, it s also a good choice. Hey, they re all free; try out several until you find your favorite.
