A new version 7 of AntiVir PE Classic is out of beta. To most users, the biggest change is the move to incremental updates for virus definitions. A wonderful thing for dialup users!

If you are not familar with free AntiVir, it is one of what I call the big free 3. AVG, avast! and AntiVir are the main free antivirus products that most have found to be reliable and trustworthy.

What many feel makes AntiVir a good choice is that it tests well in objective AV tests and runs very light on system resources. The free version of AntiVir does not contain a POP3 email scanner while the other 2 freebies do. But IMO, if one handles attachments properly (saves them separate from the email and then manually scans them), this should be no deal breaker.

I have tested all 3 free AV's personally and under certain circumstances, have recommended all 3 to various acquaintances when asked for advice. Now that AntiVir 7 is out of beta, I can heartily recommend it to everyone, especially dialup users.

Check it out!
