looking for a good free antivirus any suggestions

 

i know my roommate uses AVG

 

Macintosh

Seriously though, I'm with Stupid. I run AVG when on Windows. It's effective and it's free.

 

+1 AVG

Only difference between free and pro, I think (big I think), is tech support and automatic updating. Other than that, protection is the same.

 

Avast!

 

Avast and AVG are good. I tried AVG and now I'm using Avast. Seriously, Avast is complicated. I really liked how AVG was very easy to use and how it was still a good anti-virus. I think I will go back to AVG....sorry Gagan lol.

 

Adware Lavasoft ... that's wat i run plus with the AT&T online protection!!

 

+1, not too complicated for me. 600 Terabytes of pr0n DL'd so far without a sinlge problem!

 

DAMN 600 Terabytes FOR REAL? ...

 

Coming from an IT Consultant, AVG is the best free antivirus out there. Avast is also good, but have had clients complain about it hogging up resources at the wrong times.

 

+1 for AVG and Avast.. you can't really go wrong w/ either.

Note that anti-virus programs will not prevent you from getting a virus by clicking on a bad link/file. They'll help prevent backdoor access or if you've downloaded the file and haven't opened it yet.

 

nod32 is what I like best. you can find it on isohunt.com. just dl the torrent install nod32 then install the patch.

 

i used to use that.
