Digital Defender and Other Antivirus
Nowadays, all the major antivirus software such as AVG and Avira provide good antivirus protection to the computer. However, they also consume a large hard disk space and consume lot of memory and slow down the performance of the computer. Hence, you may feel the need to use an antivirus application that consume less memory and do not affect the computer’s performance such as Digital Defender. Digital Defender is free, fast and simple to use free antivirus. It also provides powerful protection against virus, spyware and malware infection.

One small limitation of Digital Defender Free version is that virus definitions can be updated once a day only. We are quite surprised with this limitation, as most of other free antivirus software like Panda Cloud Antivirus, and Microsoft Security Essentials come with automatic updates without any limitations.
This is, however, a pretty small limitation, and does not reduces the usefulness of this free antivirus. So, if you want a free light weight antivirus, Digital Defender is a good choice.
