kaspersky AVS v25.exe

Chosen Answer:

Active Virus Shield (AVS) was a version of Kaspersky Antivirus provided free by AOL (US). It was excellent but has been discontinued http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp? . You needed to provide an email in order to be sent an authorisation code to complete the installation.

My guess is that you have found an old copy of this but you won’t be able to get an authorisation code.

    I used Kaspersky and it’s really good Based from experience, my pc had a virus and after I installed Kaspersky, it immediately recognized the virus. Try it.

    Goodluck!

    Anyone who downloads and installs a file like that is an idiot. Now I see why people need antivirus software. Get it from a reputable source, not a link in Yahoo Q&A.

    I’m not sure of that site but ‘Kaspersky’ is great BUT not available for free. BUT you can basically get it free by using AOL Active Virus Shield. It’s RUN by Kaspersky under AOL’s name so It’s just like using KAV (which is the BEST antivirus!) =)

    Have tried most antivirus programmes and have settled for
    Avira antivirus Premium – never have had any problems.

    Avira has a free program too.

    We used to use it but after an upgrade about 6 months ago it took exception to my son’s computer games and kept crashing the computer. Some might say no bad thing!. We use comodo now

    most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser.

    you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus. i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar.

    firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser.

    as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.

    besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE. download firefox for free, Just have a try:
