Best free anti/virus software

[dellxps420]

If you're going to pay money, then Nod32.

nope sticking with what i have its good. plus free

 

[dellxps420]

I recommend you Avira free edition, easy to use and reliable antivirus software.

yep using avira and malwarebytes

I use Norton Internet secyrity 2011 18.05. it is better than version 18.01. because in this version fix a lot bugoba 18.05 from the previous version, and I would like to use Avira but it does not allow me to install.

+1 for what Dngrsone said, on both counts.

I will stick also in avira, the only thing that annoys me is the petite sound when it detects a virus. however it terms of free anti virus software and functionality avira is won.

woow this post is still running lol forgot about it! Yeh avira is the one for me ive been using for some time but i dont use my pc much know mainly on the laptop well the only thing i hate is that you have to update it yourself i quite like the sounds lol

The McAfee enterprise + McAfee antispyware update is DEFINETELY THE BEST,but it's not free unforcenately.It costs...now watch this...7000 dollars lol.

Oh man you opened up a can of worms on this topic JK... pretty much what has been listed works well and there really isn't one that is "better" than the other. For me I've been using AVG and I'm familiar with it, so I'm just going to stick with it. But of course no one program covers everything. So I also use Malwarebytes and Spybot Search and Destroy.

You should try also the EWIDO spyware, but it's concentrated by means of it deletes the whole file like if the virus attached in the registry file i will also delete the registry file .

 

[S.T.A.R.S.]

will also delete the registry file .

That sucks lol.I hate when I loose the registry because I again need to check all my options and adjust them.Well not all...depends WHICH registry file has been deleted.Still that sucks lol xD

That's because Norton is messing up your installation files for Avira. Either uninstall Norton and delete it's registry or close it when you install Avira.

SOrry I just battles the antivira av virus.
I destroyed it, but I'm confused, is antivira the same as avira?

Caution, what's in a name

No, they are not the same.
:good: Avira is a well respected AV

:gun: AntiVira AV is a nasty piece of trash

My security setup is simple, Microsoft Security Essentials and Comodo Firewall with Defense+ (HIPS)
No nasties so far and requires almost no effort from me

Well, Probably the best two are AVG and Avast. I used to use AVG, but switched because it was slowing down my computer and having all these errors. also, avast lets you set a screen saver where it does a scan, which is a feature I like. you can download multiple anti-viruses, but I wouldn't suggest that because it can slow down your computer a lot. I would recommend using Avast antivirus free edition coupled with Malwarebytes, this adds to Avast without really slowing down your computer, and makes it basically as good as paid antiviruses.
