"Avast!" is alright if you can't use AVG.

+2 for Avast!

if you want one for free then you may want to check out Microsoft Security Essentials. Its still in its beta phase, but still worth a look. Microsoft is doing a good job with their software these days...

I would say avast if avg is a no go

**Shrygue** · June 29th, 2009, 19:57

AVG anti-virus I'd say, though I've not yet tried others.

***wraggster*** · June 29th, 2009, 21:08

trying avast now

avast! is the best, I have it on both my PC and laptop plus the same on both my parents PC's and laptops...

My mum keeps saying thank you to the avast! guy when he says the virus database has been updated, as if it's actually doing something important. lol

AVG sucks.

AVG is kind of ok but made my crappy laptop slow as hell, also the updates were really annoying

You can get most anti viruses working for free these days, it's just a matter of preference LOL

Another free one, I don't know
