The best FREE anti-virus/spyware software?

Question

right now, my money is tight, and I cant really afford to go out and buy a $50.00 set of software (yes, I know its only fifty dollars, but hey, dont judge lol). I use AVG anti-virus 8.0 FREE Edition right now, and so far, it has done me wonders. But, I have heard that since it is free, it doesnt have a real time scanner. SO, that being said, can someone pleaseeee give me a name/link to an awesome FREE anti-virus/spyware (in one program would be great, but if not, its cool) WITH an Active Scanner? thanks all!

Answer 1

I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy a spyware killer for years. I have recently added superantispyware. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans Hackers etc. I have just upgraded to AVG free 8.0 and all seems good so far. Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from http://www.download.com/ I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
