Advantages: FREE !! Excellent, effective package.

Disadvantages: You won't get to see your hard drive corrupted by an evil virus!!! ;-)

InoculateIT is a little-mentioned virus scanning package which is available for download from the internet for free!

You see - there's already one big advantage to this piece of software - it'll save you about thirty quid! This doesn't automatically mean that it's a good package, but the the great thing is that InoculateIT IS a good virus scanner.

There are very regular virus-file updates available online using the 'Auto-Download' option and its list of features will rival most other packages. It can be set to run permanently in the background, checking new files on your drive and scanning emails as they come in for dodgy programs and nasty macro viruses.

The full hard drive scan is reasonably fast and provides you with an ongoing report as it scans your drive.

Basically, nowadays you need a virus scanner if you're going to use the internet at all and with some costing in excess of £30, it's at least worth looking at InoculateIT - you've got nothing to lose.
