Housecall 6.6 & Panda Security
Has anyone used these Products and would they recommend them ?
The reason I ask is that although I have the Free version of Avira installed on my PC it will not do a Scan as it jams and causes my PC to freeze. I have uninstalled and re-installed Avira without success, and also E-Mailed Avira about the problem but because it is the Free version their Tech Team do not want to know.
Scanning my PC with Malwarebytes and Adaware is not a problem, but I would like to do a Full Virus Check with a safe product. Would there be a conflict with Avira if I used something else. I have tried AVG and Avast in the past but they are not really compatible with by Windows Vista Home Basic.
Any suggestions welcome.

Comodo is about the best free AV about at the moment

It also installs a firewall so if you have another firewall installed you will need to uninstall that first.

Hi Chuck 'IT God & Lord of the Cyber Wave' Fickens !
Thanks for that piece of advice. Is it possible to install Comodo without its Firewall as I have Windows Defender which I would like to keep if possible.
Would like to try Comodo instead of Avira but what problems would I encounter with Windows Defender and its Updates ?
Thanks

Windows Defender is a anti spyware program, not a firewall.
If you are using the windows firewall then the comodo one is far far better, the windows one is only a inbound firewall and doesn't filter outbound traffic.
As It happens the first link I gave is for just the AV program, with no firewall, the correct link to the full free security suite including firewall is here
