Re: Best Free Anti-Virus
I don't believe in things such as "the best anti-virus program". I do like Avast a lot.

Re: Best Free Anti-Virus
I've used Norton(which I believe is horrible), AVG(which gives a rather big amount of false positives), Avast!(does what it is supposed to do, I only don't like the fact that a system scan stops when it finds an infection instead of finishing the scan and then dealing with it) and Microsoft Security Essentials. Atm I prefer MSE Microsoft really impressed me with it!
Re: Best Free Anti-Virus
Still on MSE myself and it's still my product of choice. Most lightweight and non invasive free AV solution I've used...
Re: Best Free Anti-Virus
I use AVG Free Edition at home and it gives me no problems, and at work I use ESET NOD32, and i'm quite impressed woth this Antivirus, it updates about twice daily, and that's essential for my trade, since I'm online throughout my whole work day.

Re: Best Free Anti-Virus
Recently upgraded to Avast v5 - they've made some really good aesthetic upgrades (which have been much needed) - now it works like an antivirus should and looks like an antivirus should!

Re: Best Free Anti-Virus
Avira is one of the best free antiviruses, but if you want all a security solution can do I would recommend you AVAST. You also could take a look here http://best-antivirus.co to find out many useful things and see many detailed comparisons between the best 10 antiviruses in the world.
It's a free reviews and downloads site and you find there all pros and cons.

I know i may be repeating someone here, but i am just jumping in now.
www.av-comparatives.org/
You can find trial, or free versions of some of the anti-virus solutions compared there. What i have recently noticed is that Microsoft Security Essentials is free to use on a Windows computer (assuming your windows is Legal). It also does a pretty good job. So you could look into that.
