Spyware and Virus removal program to use starting my own business

[certifiedtek3]

What package or programs can i buy that I can install on unlimited pcs that I fix? Alot of customers are in remote areas without internet access so I cant update definition files on location, need to download them manually to disk.

Do I have to buy expensive programs where I need to install new program or licence on each pc i service.

I need program/s that I can install on any computer without paying each time and load the definition files from disk because of this.

What are my option? Im just starting up and cant afford to pay for licences for each pc I install program and fix..

Thanks JEff

First of all, welcome to Technibble. Hope to keep seeing you around.

Onto the question, I know AVG Free ( http://free.grisoft.com ) is a great antivirus which is obviously free and can be updated from a disk. The only problem I can think of with AVG is that it considers itself out of date if it hasnt been updated in about 5 days to a week.

Adaware and Spybot are 'industry standard' free spyware/adware removal tools. However, I dont know if these can be updated from disk (can anyone confirm this?).

As for not being able to afford to pay for licenses, that should never be an issue. Just pass the cost onto your customer plus a little bit more for your time and effort. Also consider getting a supplier where you can get the software cheap, add your markup and still be cheaper or the same price as the big stores.

There is a good buck to be made by upselling software.
