I can get paranoid about my “local” security quite often and I am a big fan of open source software. I try to go open before anything, really. I had used clamwin for awhile but was interested in a more “active” anti-virus tool because clamwin is only on demand. That wasn’t enough for me; I know it can’t protect you from getting viruses. I looked up open source alternatives that had more aggressive/constant memory scanning protection that wouldn’t stop when I clicked close. I found Moon Secure and I have been installing it everywhere. Moon Secure is an enterprise level active anti-virus scanner for Microsoft Windows, that currently employs clamav scan engine and virus database. The best part about it is that it’s free! The UI isn’t fancy but it’s worth a try if you are sick of controlling n0rton or the buggy resource hogs like mcafee.
