The Identity theft protection functionality is not available for free versions however, your system could still remain secure if you're using a trusted spyware like Spybot. Although having the add-on could bring added benefit, Keyscrambler encrypts your keystrokes to stay away from Keyloggers that might steal your online login information.

After having reformatted my computer (after my experience with trojans and thereafter my blog being hacked), I installed AVG free version (or its 30-day trial version). Turns out, based on your review here, that I may have to stay on my toes and not relax yet as I may not have been securely covered by AVG. I really am so concerned about security now. I guess this is a natural effect after learning things the hard way. I am even considering going for paid virus scanners. Should I go that way, I also am wondering which one will serve my purpose best and give me best returns for my investment? .-= James Moralde´s last blog ..H-a-ck-ed! =-.

Hi,
I really haven’t tried Avast longer than a week, the last time I remembered using it was just for a day. I hated the false positives and the obtrusive pop-up messages so I removed it right away.

Pls. note that I no longer allow keywords on the name field as per my comment policy that’s why I unlinked your URL.

I use AVG as well and have been pretty satisfied with what they offer, including 9.0 version. I have also been considering using the Avast software, what are your thoughts on that program?

Back in the days when I was starting out, I used to consider what the blog owner would think of me when I leave a comment on their blog.

Most of the time, I leave a good impression instead of self promotion and I try to read any comment policy in place.

Nice post! I used to use AVG, then I switched to Avast! and kept to it for a while. I tried MSE not expecting much, and I was amazed at it's capability. I doubt I'll ever use anything else! .-= Robert@CoolAppSite´s last blog ..5 Best Web Apps of 2009 =-.
