AOL have just released a free program to protect your PC against a wide range of malware and viruses and the good news is that it's completely free! Given the credibility of AOL in the internet sphere there is no issues at all with using this product. You will have to supply a valid e-mail address to receive your activation code but you can rest assurred that AOL will NOT use your information in anyway that could be malicious.

Another very generous aspect of this release is that you do not have to be a member of AOL to download the software.

AOL have used the Kaspersky antivirus technology so it is well suited to handling all the latest malware now and well into the future. Given that the software automatically checks for definition updates on an hourly basis these is an almost cast iron guarantee that no nasty programs will get through. Another advantage is that you don't have to remember to update the definitions they are automatic and so the whole system is a fire and forget proposition.

Active Virus Shield also has an e-mail scanner that checks all e-mail attachment to ensure safety and has heuristic scanning to pick up on very latest threats to your system.

The program is optimised for laptop use and also works on Windows XP 64-bit editions.
