Anyone know of free antivirus programs?

www.avast.com

Never have to worry again. Best antivirus out there IMO, even better then all the ones you have to pay for.

I agree 100% with Avast. The best in my opinion and free also. The ones you pay money for can actually be a pill to get off you system. DO NOT buy Norton, it's take a semi-advanced person to get it off you system. It has to be removed in safe mode and all kinds of stuff. Avast. Avast. Avast.

I have a custom made AIO pack on a disk I made back when I worked for a software company If you ever felt the need for super dooper protection :rofl:

Feel free to let me know, I have a spare copy I believe :confused:

ya sure if u could send me the link or something

Avast is good.

Kaspersky and NOD32 are better, but you have to pay.

The best thing about NOD32 is it's extremely low impact on system resources. There are more comprehensive protection programs out there with a scope that is larger than what you're at risk from via web browsers, but for keeping you safe from viruses, trojans, and the like, NOD32 is pretty bulletproof. The larger-scope antivirus programs almost always hog so many resources that you experience significant performance issues.

http://www.f-prot.com/

only $30 for a year, we run it at work and it has saved us more than anything else. You can install it on 5 PCs too, low system resources, etc. The above advice and recommendations are all good to, but if you want my personal opinion, I would go with F-Prot.

www.avast.com i've used it for 5 years and no problems

http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

here is one I just started using from Microsoft, it found some things my other program (AVG) didn't find...

http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

http://www.malwarebytes.org/

I would also recommend trying Sandboxie. It isn't a anti-virus/spyware/malware program in that it doesn't try to block them. It traps them and prevents them from getting out onto your computer, then you can have it erase them. Read up on it... http://www.sandboxie.com/

I've been using AVG for a long time, never had an issue.

This is actually a very good program, most people in the Tech Community swear by it as far as Free Anti-Virus Programs go.

I second everyone who suggested Avast, ive used it for quite awhile and never had any problems :)

I would say Avast, but I am no EXPERT!!!

If I was going to purchase an Anti-Virus I would choose the Kaspersky and consider the NOD32 you mention.

I downloaded Sandboxiie and WOT "Web of Trust for Firefox" as added protection to my Avast, Spybot & Ad-Aware.

I think I'm pretty well protected. :8:
