Gmail, search the help for 'pop', they do support pop/smtp access to your email.

There is a version of housecall that runs in Firefox, http://es.trendmicro-europe.com/consumer/housecall/housecall_launch.php .

That's great! I just added in the Housecall info. Thanks for the heads up.

*edit* Updated Mozilla product URLs and updated "Microsoft Antispyware" to "Microsoft Defender"

Does anyone here know of a product that functions similar to Microsoft Defender, but isn't Microsoft Defender? There have got to be some good ones out there that are free as well, but I just can't seem to find them...

 

[ZenPirate]

There is etrust's "Pest Patrol", which is effective. It's not free, and I found it to be a bit "heavy" on my system.

I believe the paid version of adaware has active monitoring as well.

 

[Renegade Retard]

Doesn't Spy Sweeper have active monitoring? Or am I misunderstanding the question?

Oh, you can get equally-fantastic errors under Linux too, it's just that you'll have to try much harder to get one (like using buggy development-versions of kernel and/or buggy modules), and the errors aren't as colorful.

I love how you included Eset's Nod32 as an example...

this would have to be THE best Antivirus i've ever seen...

Since using it (since a few months ago) i have never had a virus
in my system...

definetly worth the buy

No, but you can get error messages like

*actual crash information here*
Kernel Panic: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

or

Reiser4 panicked cowardly!

Haha yeah, open source coders tend to have more of a sense of humour
