If so, the other free apps that you can install will more often than not provide some level of Real Time protection, where as HouseCall will only let you know you've been infected after the fact and once you've actually elected to scan your machine.Īmong the free AVs out there that seem to be well liked among the BC community:Īvira (although there are some concerns about using the recent version)Īd-Aware (which you appear to already have installed, at least on one of your machines) If you are happy with HouseCall, then you should keep it using, but it appears that HouseCall is an online / on demand scanner, yes?

I've yet to do so, because I'm not sure if the program still provides any protection or not, since it throws false positives for trojans when I run HouseCall.
