but it say the free version does'nt have:

 

Anti-Spyware Available only with commercial versions

 

Use Spybot and/or Adaware SE.

 

 

Anti-Spam

 

Most emails can be spam checked on the server. Or you can use a third party plugin for whichever email client you use.

 

Firewall

 

Of course not. It's an AntiVirus product, get zonealarm (or Sygate, or Comodo)

 

24/7 Technical Support

 

But there is a free online support forum:).

 

High-speed updates

 

Wow... Updates only take a few (5 seconds).

 

Multiple languages

 

Hardly earth shattering though, is it?

 

Detailed settings

 

I admit, this is a drawback (though I just have it scan everything [that's 2 hard drives with 16 partitions] and it takes about an hour).

 

Consent for commercial use

 

Most free programs are free only for personal use, not commercial.

 

 

 

If you're wanting an "all-in-one" I'd reccomend ZoneAlarmPro. It's got AV, FireWall, email protection, spyware protection and probably some other stuff. Though using AIOs can (sometimes) cause more problems than they solve (especially in the case of Norton).
