Yahoo gives free spyware and antivirus? Couldn't find link.?systemworks



Yahoo only provides free anti-virus and firewall to members that use an ISP that partners with Yahoo to provide ''Extras''. Some of these partner ISPs are SBC, Rogers, BT, Verizon and ATT. Contact your ISP for information. You must download it separately. Ask your ISP.



The vast majority of Yahoo's members have free membership and receive no free A-V protection.



But, you are under no way obligated to use any of the Yahoo crapware, that Yahoo may pay your ISP, to force down it's customers throats. There are much better free alternatives.



If you need it, for your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir® PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than most ''paid-for'' anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. Uses less then 10 MB RAM on my machine. And did I mention that it's free!
