Was this 'free' version one which came preloaded on your computer when it was new? If yes, then it was a bundled application, and not a freeware title.

It would make it alot easier for me, and the others who search for files, if you atleast gave an idea of what version number your seeking. It makes it difficult to know what you want without one. As I have never used this app, so I do not know what would be a "free" version number range.
If I find any versions, I may find several variances, and I really do not have the time to install and test each one I find.
If you could add a version number in the ideal range this would help alot, by eliminating any finds which excede the range.

i have never heard of pc cillin being freeware, i have seen it on a vast amount of machines as bundled software, , all i can find on searching is this link http://www.clearview.co.uk/trend_enquiry_form.htm which is a 30 day evaluation cd, you may be able to upgrade this online,but again this would not be free, there has been recently a number of free antivirus apps listed if you search the forum or you may find a copy on ebay.com. this lnik gives a download but does link back to trend micro so it will be the latest version which is shareware. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pccillin.html

My understanding was that the bundled version is a limited time license
(something like 90 days). When my license ran out, I go AVG from www.grisoft.com

Hello,

I know im doing this wrong but i dont know where to post. Im not looking for software, but i might need it.

I was just installing PC-Cillin 2002 from a disk and halfway through the install it says "error..... pattern file" Or something like that. Then the whole installation exits, and my CD drive is gone, completely. Its not in my computer anymore and its just gone. this has happened before and i had 2 get a guy in here to fix it, its really starting to annoy me, is there any other ways to enable or re-install it? or just find out why the hell its dissapearing like this?

Please help! :( :( :( :( :(

dont really understand your problem ? i run pc cillin 2000 and have no problems with it being out of date ? although i dont pay annually for the support option trend micro still allow me to update to the latest pattern files etc online at no cost, you will not be able to use a serial reg code from one version to another so forget that idea , if you want an antivirus without paying , use the search function or look through past postings as many av scanners are listed and many are freeware titles

try rebooting your pc , if it doesnt come back then go, right click my computer select properties and look in device manager under cd rom drives to see if it is there , it has maybe been disabled if so re.enable it, it would of helped more if you had stated which os you are running etc , and always try and avoid starting an unnecessary thread if possible and yes this should of really been posted in the general section, but if the thread in programs about pc cillin was yours as well you may as well added it to that thread

try rebooting your pc

Done and it came out. Thanks


and always try and avoid starting an unnecessary thread if possible and yes this should of really been posted in the general section, but if the thread in programs about pc cillin was yours as well you may as well added it to that thread

I needed help on 2 different problems, but ill conclude it in just this thread.

Problem 1: The CD Rom drive is back there, as soon as i reboot, why does it disapear like that? and i have to reboot for it to show back up. Oh well, that problem is solved now.

Quoted by a Guest.

dont really understand your problem ?

I dont really have a problem. I just needed advice. So your using Pc-Cillin 2000? I use 2002 and want a newer version.


you will not be able to use a serial reg code from one version to another so forget that idea

Thats what im saying, why cant i do that? I have an out of date pc-cillin (2002) that like 2 years old! can i upgrade to 2003? If anyone can find the trial for 2003 could they post it here i would be very grateful

The license is determined by the developers. sometimes they don't feel your purchase of a year 2000 product qualifies you for receiving a FREE update to the latest product line. If they gave free licenses for the lifetime of a product, then they would not be able to continue making money.
Just switch to one of the freeware alternatives, such as those listed in the a/v thread.

If you just want to update the virus definitions, those usually are free.

Also note, Oldversion.com does not develop this product, if you have a question pertaining to the licensing policy of a product, then you should seek help on the developers site.

If you are going to direct to AVG Free don't you think you should have posted the link to AVGs main page? Lets face it, a lot of people don't read anything at a download link they just click download then complain that the supplied link doesn't work.

Also a warning to the downloader that they need a valid E-mail address concidering that AVG requires you to fill out a form and only after filling out the form do they E-mail you the download link for the AVG Free. Plus they will also send you the serial number to activate this program to your E-mail after you start the download. (I suspect this is an attempt to prevent remote hosting of their product.)

AVG Free download page Read it before clicking Next (http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5)

Let's see now, you only recomend the AVG Free

The Free Norton anti-virus software you must Allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery and live in the U.S. only.

Symantec virus protection is just a recrutement to get people to join Marketscore.

VCatch Basic is to protect your computer from receiving virus infected E-mails.

Free anti-virus CD Offer available for corporate end users only.

Free Online Virus Scanner you have to be on-line to scan for viruses. Some people have limited internet access and slow dial-ups.

SurfinGuard (Note: this program is no longer free, but a 30-day free trial is available). I'm sure Very annoyed asked for a freeware app.

The only other 1 worth concidering on that page was AntiVir Personal Edition (http://www.free-av.com)

But then it is easier to just post a link then to research to make sure what you are posting is remotely close to what the requestor asked for.

A/V Thread, with freeware and shareware.
Whats the best? That depends on what you think an app should be, I personally dont use A/V apps, but when i run them on client boxes, i prefer using either F-Prot, or ClamAV on a bootdisk.

Thank you for your help guys!!!

I might stay with Pc-Cillin 2002! Because it is a Paid product and it isnt that out of date.

But then i might decide to go for another one.

These are the ones i have tryed and liked/disliked

avast! - Nup, I didnt like it, it was abit too configarable and just didnt work for me.

AVG - I used this a while back and it seemed cool, I am considering using this.

Kaspersky - Ive heard so many good things about this! and i wanna try it soo bad, ive tryed downloading the file from 3 different mirrors on the site and they all download but none work, :(

Antivir - Nup, I hated it.

That is about it that ive tested.

Thank you everyone!

very very smart of you to point out such information , but that doesnt mean jack all really, if the requestee doesnt actually know exactly what they want then the more they read about such apps the better , in YOUR opinion only one thing on that page was worth recommending, perhaps you should yourself let others have an opinion on things without making smart comments and presuming your opinion is more important or more valid than anyone elses i see you have done this in other threads mainly on guest posts still i guess it ups your post count, go on mate you can get another here answering me

Where I went to school they taught us to read and write PLUS what words mean. I see that is no longer important in schools.


That sucks.

Whats the best freeware antivirus app?

Thanks for your help guys

Looks like Very annoyed is asking "Whats the best freeware antivirus app?"

He didn&#39;t ask for the biggest list of AV Apps you could come up with for him to choose from.


avg free edition is very popular get it from this link

But did you have the conviction to stand by your recomdation? NO. Instead:


the link i gave also gave the requestee the option of seeing some other av apps on the way to it which were on the same page

And when I pointed out this to you, your little EGO was hurt.

When I rendered an opinion on the Apps on your link you responded with this:


that doesnt mean jack all really, if the requestee doesnt actually know exactly what they want then the more they read about such apps the better , in YOUR opinion only one thing on that page was worth recommending

So, are you so smart you can tell a good AV App from a bad one by reading a short description? Cause unless you&#39;ve ran a test on it then you&#39;ll never know how well it works.


The only other 1 worth concidering on that page was

"ONLY OTHER 1" I didn&#39;t say
only one thing on that page was worth recommending

I didn&#39;t disagree with your orginal recomdation.


see you have done this in other threads mainly on guest posts still i guess it ups your post count

I could care less about my post count. If it were re-set to Zero oh well. And if you are refering to me directing Guests to:

How To Request an App (http://www.oldversion.com/talk/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=1585)

or to do a search, or to NOT request serials and cracks then maybe you need to learn what this site is all about before posting again.

At least I don&#39;t hide behind a Guest id and do try to find programs for others. Nor do I get up in arms if someone doesn&#39;t like a link I posted.

I do appoligize to the other members for letting this "Guest" get to me. But if you are going to post some more "Guest", try READING and wait till UNDERSTANDING sinks in before posting.
