Daffy D Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The last Rising update installed a new 2009 version that is on a 34 day license, after that it will no longer be free. Now that is a real pain in the butt, I have got used to Rising, having got it all set up to how I want it. Now they do this. What I really want to know is what free program can I use to take its place? I am running Avira Free edition with Rising and they worked well together stopping just about anything from infecting my system. So help please from those who know these things what free program is now available that will do for me what Rising Antivirus does? The answer need not be conventional but better PM me with anything like that. Distraught Daffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
