What's The Best Free Anti-Virus Software
 

I need something that is easy to turn off and on. In the past I've had issues with anti-virus software interfering with my surfing experience so usually I just uninstall it after one use.

Has microsoft essentials been trumped now?

I use a paid version of BitDefender which kicks ass but they do have a free one...

Microsoft Security Essentials. It's free and not too bad.

I wouldn't risk the free shit.spend a couple bucks for your security

+1 :thumbsup

I use Bit Defender Total Security for years after switching from Kaspersky and it runs flawless. Only reason I switched from Kaspersky was they weren't up to par on Windows 8 when it first came out. Always a deal to get it cheaper initially and then before it expires they always cut ya a deal to renew at a crazy discount as well. Amazes me people spend thousands on traffic, content, etc... and have no security or use a combo of free ones to achieve what 1 solid paid one will do. Bit Defender Free Version for those that refuse to pay for anything.

I'm using BitDefender FREE and it's enough for me. Fast and eats up minimum system resources.

Try the free version and buy the Total Security package if you like it (and need it).

avast i find is good.

Also Malwarebytes.

I second that advice.

Well, even if you pay a lot, you never get 100% security. The trojans and viruses are always first and it takes time, also for premium products, to implement them into their scanners.

Avira antivirus, easy to turn off and good protection

i use comodo, i like that its an antivirus plus firewall but i find their newest free version is always pushing pay stuff.

the "free shit" in the long run will cost you $$$$ ie: you catcha virus or something....

I use Kaspersky and as much as I thought i would never get anything it click a link it caught it for me...

AVG, Avast or Avira

try them out and you decide...

Microsoft Security Essentials or Comodo

yes, avast for me too. Free version already is great!

Yup! Me too!


Might pay more for a Mac up front, but between all of the Macs I own and have bought over the years, not one virus in 10 years. No issues, no crashes, nothing.


Fan boy?? Not really, just a Fan of my shit working when I turn it on.

Avast :thumbsup

avast is the best.

I am using free version of Avast. Then upgraded to PRO coz i liked it!

OSX :)

hihihihihihi

Avast here too

Good software is never free. I have paid for, and love, ESET NOD32 for 6 years. Not ONE virus.

Maybe it doesn't work if it didn't found any virus for 6 years.

Linux is free. Get over it.

I tried three of them and still can't get this adware off, fuck it, I'll just do a factory restore.

There's alot of good free antiviruses, how about checking these out: Free Antivirus.

Some free antispyware over here.

Or when you want to put a few bucks in a non free solution: Antivirus Software, Internet Security, all-in-one-security.

You want more?! Sorry but that's all folks!

Some adware / spyware / viruses can't be removed by any program once you are infected. Identify which one you have, then go over to bleepingcomputer.com and search for a solution /tutorial for removal or ask for help there. That place has saved my ass many times.

the best "tool" against viruses: common sense

and it's free too
