Free Antivirus

[QueenSophie]

Having an issue with current AntiVirus and need to downlowd something free for the time being until it gets resolved. But, which one out there is the best for a temporary fix??

I know being "free" it's not going to have all the protection I have with what Ive been using, but I need something...I just hate getting online and know I have nothing..ya know?

http://www.avast.com.

The home edition is free and very effective at cleaning most viruses, trojans, worms, etc.


http://www.malwarebytes.org.

Another good free tool.


Between the two I have great success with most infected computers.

Yes, I have been using those two exclusively for years now. I have not had a serious virus issue since.

Try Trojans.
Good antivirus protection and they make you soft when you wear them!

Or try www.avg.com for a good free program.

+1 on AVG, I use that and Ad-Aware.

AVG 2011 works just fine for me when I'm using windows. You can dl it for free on CNET.

Microsoft Security Essentials is a VERY GOOD free program.

The link below will take you to the free download site, and provide a lot of additional information.
