Question

Which is the best free anti virus to have ?

Answer 1

XP = AVG FREE

Vista - Avast

Answer 2

Someone has already answered ESET NOD32. This is probably the best antivirus programme available right now, but it's not free. You can download a free 1 month trial but after that you have to pay for it. Probably the two best free downloadable antivirus programmes are AVG Free Edition Version 8.0 or Avast AntiVir. Both are very good.  

Answer 3

kaspersky internet security is the best

Answer 4

AVG free edition is the best.

Answer 5

Avast Home Edition

With a skin-based interface Avast! is the friendliest antivirus software from our test. This can be a minus because using sophisticated skins can affect the memory usage. It has an interesting feature "VRDB". The aim of VRDB is to help when, despite all the security measures, a virus gets inside the computer and the files are infected. With the help of VRDB, it is possible to repair infected files (return them exactly to their original state).

You can download Avast home Edition from here>www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-ho...

AVG Antivirus

Offering a rock-solid protection AVG is THE BEST FREE ANTIVIRUS from this test. It has a very good definition update system,uses little system resources and a full time protection utility with "on-access" file scanner and e-mail scanner. The program doesn't tax your system when scanning or when running in the background and always proved effective in our tests. This app's interface can't be described as beautiful, yet it is mostly simple to navigate. During the full system scan it has detected both of our major threats on the test computer.

Answer 7

Avira (the best) , AVG and Avast ! (which are both worthy secondary programs as well)

Answer 8

Trust me AVG broke down on all are computers the one you should get is NORTON it does a scan each day nit tell you the risk and you choose if you want to delete it and it show you how much computers it go threw to find a virus.  

Answer 9

I have used AVG for many years, this is free from the computeractive website, at the moment I am trialing Nod 32 from Eset on a 30 day free trial, this is billed as the best anti virus (but is not free).
