Threatfire - FREE Behaivor Based Antivirus Software

I hoped you enjoyed reading the article on free antivirus software and I'm sure that you came to a realization that these free software are as good as paid one. Of course, the paid product comes with other services, such as spyware, firewall, some type of zero day attack protection, and customer support. Lots of the free antivirus software comes with spyware protection, including Microsoft security essential but none comes with zero day attack protection. If I'm wrong please let me know, so we can share it with the rest of the community.

For Firewall, there are free Firewall software, which I'll post it here in the near future but in my opinion I don't really think a normal computer users need one, beside, if you are running Windows XP sp2, VISTA, and Windows 7 comes with Firewall. So, now we are left with customer service, which I believe very small amount of people actually call customer service for their anti-virus software. I'm curious what they call customer service for, and if anybody can provide me with real customer support call I would appreciate it. Beside, what can they do that you can't do by yourself. If the software acts funny, just uninstall and re-install. Need instruction, these free antivirus software comes with HELP section but you won't need them because they are pretty simple. Actually, the only thing you need to configure (if you desire) is when you want the automatic scan to be conducted and definition download. You may think if you get infected by a virus and lose data, the customer service might help, not really, I bet searching Google will come up with better solution. In the near future I'll post one of the best technique in protecting your system and data against virus and worm.

Oh my, it is 12:33 AM and I better finish this off before I get in trouble with my wife. Anyway, one thing free antivirus software missing is the zero day attack protection, which is provided by a FREE software called Threatfire, which has a very good rating. It also offer a pro version that has a yearly subscription fee, which you don't need. Check out the article and decide for yourself.

Excerpt from http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2191336,00.asp:

ThreatFire 3's ability to block installation of malware strictly by identifying bad behavior is phenomenal. It did a better (and faster) job than Norton AntiBot and even beat out Spy Sweeper, our current Editors' Choice for signature-based antispyware. This free tool is an excellent addition to your security arsenal. But don't spend your money for the scan-and-clean Pro version—it's just not up to the job.
