[Bflobob]

I have recommended Malwarebytes and the free antivirus from Microsoft to my friends. Seems to work well
Thanks!

On my opinion, yes! I used free Antivirs from Avira and it is as good as the commercial version.

i personaly find that the new microsoft security essentails is great used most of the others but did not find them that good

[sagareave]

I've used avast,avg and avira all of them seem decent to me

[salve007]

I use always Avira and Malwarebytes! All others crash my system!

[subcriminal]

Avast and malware bytes any day over Norton!

[m_esmeray]

Free Anti Virus

I've used Avg and Avast on different systems and they are very good Freeware.

[stegianduia196026]

i use avira and i feel good and do not slow down the pc

[mickthefish]

free AV

I repair PC's for a living and find Avast 5, Malwarebytes, and spybot S&D will sort out most nasties out there. Comodo have a good free firewall.
Most AV software will cause problems if you install two or more on a PC, however the new Panda Cloud AV will run OK with Avast and most AV software plus it also is free. Plus it is very light on windows resources.

I use McAfee Total Protection. This is one of the software that I consider indispensable. Thus paid for the protection of my 4 PCs and 2 laptops.

i have a fully paid up avg but it failede to detect a virus recently- thank god i had free malwarebytes it found the virus in 30 seconds and destroyed it.

I found Avast is very good, Get the odd false alert but i prefer it to be over sensitive then not. I used norton a while back and it takes over your computer, It seems you can never get rid of the program completely without format.
