Best Free Antivirus Program

Featured Replies

My friend just got a new laptop but she doesn't have an antivirus program at the moment and wants a free one that she can use.

 

 

 

I've looked at some free ones like Avast and AVG but can't figure out which one will have the best protection for the computer.

 

 

 

So does anyone have any advice for which is the best free antivirus program?

Hababadidabba program!

 

 

 

Or you can go for Avast or Avira, i wouldn't recommend AVG. Combine with a firewall (windows one or zonealarm or comdo).

AVG once was good, but's starting to settle into the same rut as Norton and McAffee. I prefer Avira over Avast, but that's just me.

Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3

Clare recommended this setup in a topic (not to me personally):

 

 

 

avast! antivirus

 

Comodo firewall

 

Ad-aware

 

 

 

It's pretty good, does the job as well as if not better than the paid for anti-malware software.

I've settled for Clamwin and Spybot S&D for my anti-malware.

Avira. I've recently upgrade the latest version and it's protected me from a lot of nasties that AVG completely missed. Avast is quite good to, but I prefer Avira.

I would have said exactly the same thing exept maybe for the firewall. I suggest zonealarm, it's good.

Avast is a good one.

 

 

 

There isn't really a good one thats free, they do all have their flaws. She could get a trial version of trend micro or something for the first few just so she can keep and eye out and search for one she actually likes.

In fact, Avast is also declining currently. It has loads of falsepositives and can't delete viruses completely most of the time.

 

 

 

For free antivirus, Avira antivir is for the win.
