Title: What antivirus software?
Post by: Rizon on April 27, 2013, 07:03 am
I just DBANed my HDD and fresh installed Windows XP SP3 Professional.  I tried Microsoft security Essentials, but doesn't seem to work probably because I torrented the .iso
What are some good antivirus softwares that I could download?

Avira is pretty good, you just have to jump through some hoops to block the nag screen. Not very hard at all and the steps are well documented all over the place. Google "Avira block nag" or "Avira disable ads". Here is the procedure for Windows 7 x64:

I've heard AVG is meant to be good.
