These programes have resident shields...there are other free antivirus as ClamAV, a-squared Free,Comodo AV and etc.
BTW I use Kaspersky - it is not very expensive.

Ive been using BitDefender for 2 yrs now. I really like it.
Its my first all-in-one.
Before that I used Avast and Ad-Aware with Sygate Firewall.

Hope this helps,

Does Bit Defender free have a resident shield? I was said that BitDefender Pro is a very good software but I have never tried it.

Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus, McAfee VirusScan, Quarterdeck ViruSweep, or Dr. Solomon's Anti-Virus. Those major developers can be relied upon to release timely periodic updates that deal with new viruses.

I think the keyword from the original post was *free*, and most of those aren't.
