good FREE antivirus sofware

Can anyone help me find a good, free antivirus software? I know of Avast! Avira Antivir, and AVG, but I was wondering if there were any more.

Re: good FREE antivirus sofware

I personally think the Anti Vir is a great one, I use it on my computer. It is mainly a personal choice.
Just remember only ever have one Antivirus Installed at a time, it could cause system instability.

Take your pick.

Avast is perfect for my needs.

Re: good FREE antivirus sofware

I've used Avast! and it took way too long to scan, i've had bad experience with AVG, but i really never had any trouble with anitvir. I was just wondering if there was anything out there.

Smile Re: good FREE antivirus sofware

sorry that I couldn't help you...I haven't had any problems with it on my computer. I do have AOL antivirus software that is free...from cnet.com that I use on my desk top...the reason I have so many different softwares..is that I have 4-5 up and running computers!
