Best free PC Antivirus software

Ive got a new PC but it has no antivirus on it. I was wondering what the best one was which is free. Ive heard that AVG is one of the best. But i was wondering if there are any better options.

Thanks,

 

There's Avast which is pretty good.

So is Comodo Anti-Virus and Firewall Security.
You don't have to register it every year or so.

 

Just give the best please

 

Comodo.

It offers a firewall and anti-virus in one.

ive used avg for years and never had a problem

 

AVG is amazing, I upgraded to the full edition because I just really like it.

 

i will tell you something else amazing, your avatar!

 

HAHA, same for you, mine's got the HIGH QUALITY going on.

 

Excuse me?
But your opinion is what is best. There is no best or worst (except from McAfee and Norton) it's all down to people's opinions.

What you should do is try different AV and get your own opinion on things.
I use Avast. Sometimes I forget I even have a AV because I don't need to do anything with it.

Also 2 more things.
Wrong section. I don't think AV's are games, do you?

 

smadav

 

i would say none,

but that's a choice

my windows 7 PC doest have Anny anti virus on it
and my laptop got MCaFee TS 2009 full version

the PC i use @ school got AVG 2009 free version which inst bad
I installed it my self, pretty handy if you don't want to spend some cash on it

 

avg is too racist about programs not made by big companies and will constantly flag them as viruses, when they are not. Add in that resource hog bit and it's bad enough as it is.
macaffe is more like trying to prevent people from seeing your screen in a starbucks, so paying for a bunch of crap you'll probably never use is worthless.
avast, doesn't seem to be crazy like avg or norton, but at least it works fine

 

Try Avira. Long trial period.

 

And Ive heard of UFO's and crop circles

Try Avira Antivir

 

i use avg free to
i don't want anything else

 

I used to use mcafee but it kinda made my computer run slow.. so now i am using microsoft security essentials.. its free and i like it very much

 

The weird thing is that avast 5 free has a trail limit...

 

AVG free.

I forgot to enable it, though.

I do like the colours of its Icon and its Interface is easy to use.It doesnt block much keygens/patches,so thats handy if you want to run hooky software.Also,it was the first free AV I used,so maybe Ill reinstall it out of posterity
