    The list is about free/cheap security programs and services. Not only anti-virus but also many, many others.There are many lists, but I think mine is one of the most extensive, covering almost all possible aspects of security.

    I think a very important point in it is its educational value. When you read the topics, you already get an impression how versatile title "security" really is. And for security geeks there is really a lot of stuff. :)

    The latest version is always a sticky at

    http://www.virustorjunta.net/modules...ewtopic&t=5430

    (This is a finnish anti-malware webpage.)

    I will copy it now and when here.
