Question

What's the best free antivirus program to download to one's computer?

Answer 1

Avast is the the best overall free antivirus, but forget AVG free edition it has a nice interface but is poor at blocking viruses so not worth using.

I've tested both Avast Home Edition (free) and AVG 8 (free), AVG let me save 75% of the test viruses to my hard drive only blocking 25% were as Avast blocked 75% of viruses, Avast picked up the other 25% of the viruses that were in zip files the second I tried to extract them.

I use Avast combined with Comodo Pro on my XP home computer and have no problems with virus's or spyware.

Answer 2

I prefer Avast Free. It seems to me to be easier than AVG Free and seems to catch a lot more than what AVG did. It also has a boot scan too which AVG Free doesn't.

Go to http://www.avast.com or search on google or yahoo for Avast Free.
