AOL discontinues Active Virus Shield

"A year ago AOL started offering Active Virus Shield, a free anti-virus package based on Kaspersky antivirus. The company has now stopped distributing this software. The Active Virus Shield web page now only shows the information: "We're Sorry! AOL® Active Virus Shield is no longer available."

Joe,
 
Thanks for the update.... I've modified my "canned" on Free anti-viruses to reflect it.
 
As you know, I had been including it on my list, by virtue of its "Kaspersky connection", albeit with an "AOL-tainted" disclaimer, in my effort to be completely unbiased, and offer the user the choice whether or not to go for it.   Guess that's not an issue any more.
 
By the way, did you note that the Active Virus Shield webpage also suggests a replacement: 
" We are now offering McAfee® Virus Scan Plus-Special edition from AOL " :smileymad:
 
Don't worry, I'm gonna draw the line at suggesting THAT one! :smileywink:
