    Please recommend me a good, free antivirus

    Since the free version of AVG will be pulled off next January 15, I'd like to know what free antivirus you guys recommend. Thanks

      You should give Avast a try.
      I've been using it for a while now and I like it.

          Consider using Zonealarm or Pandasoftware.

              GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and full compatibility with the latest Windows Vista version is available. Users that are using AVG Free 7.1 will be provided with a specific dialog, within the next few weeks, with the opportunity to choose the right option fulfilling their needs. AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007.




              Doesn't that mean version 7.1 will be discontinued, and you can use version 7.5 for free?


              Avast is still a better choice tho
              Questions?

                Grisoft is not doing away with the AVG free version, there is just a new version of it and you need to upgrade prior to Jan 15

                                      why would anyone want a free antivirus program to protect their computer?

                                      if there's any program you're gonna spend money on, a good antivirus is one of them

                                          From that eset.com place, one of their graphs shows resource utilization. Resource Utilization - 1308% for Symantec... what? How can you get above 100% resources... ???
