AOL drops Active Virus Shield (No more Free Kaspersky)

According to the NetworkWorld,
"Active Virus Shield had its own licensing complications. When it was first launched last year, it came with a licensing agreement that some said was overly demanding and would permit AOL to send spam or serve up adware to users at some point in the future. After media reports, AOL vowed to remove the controversial licensing terms. "

Today I want to download it, go to http://www.activevirusshield.com/, then only realize they dropped it off and then introduce McAFree VirusScan Plus, sorry, not McAFree, is McAFee.......not FREE...

SAD...sad..such a good antivirus and they choose to dropped it.....anyway...for those who still have the installation file for ActiveVirusShield, you still can use it until it got expired (Mine going to expired on 21-10-2007, two more months to go...)

Well...to be frankly, i haven't tried McAFee yet.....try to downloading it now... it only available for AOL customer only....therefore, if you want to get this free Antivirus, you have to go to http://www.aol.com/ to register the email for free....Make sure the info you registered in AOL is the "RIGHT" address, phone number.......else you wont be able to register it...

After got the account, go back to the http://www.activevirusshield.com/ and follow the instruction to download the McAFree..before install it...my advise is ...uninstall all your other's antivirus to prevent the "BLUE SCREEN" crashed your windows...

Any further informations, i will explain in next post...

There are other counter measures to use the Anti-Virus you want. Think outside the box.

Last time I used Norton-Anti virus crack. Then I drop it because it use more resources & use AVG Free.After that I found out that AVG is not really secure, I drop it for Real Kaspersky crack. (not AVS)

So you dont really need to "UPSET" even when it is not free anymore.

btw, now I'm working on setting up zonealarm Pro
