Free Anti-Virus Program

DragonMan · 01-21-2009, 05:51 PM

Just got a laptop but don't have an antivirus program. Are there any free antivirus programs that are good?

+1 for AVG Free

DragonMan · 01-21-2009, 06:10 PM

Thank you I'm going to download it now!!

I used AVG for years with no issues. Just make sure you check for updates whenever you can.

AVG Free for me and anyone who's computer I work on.

Can't tell you how many viruses I've seen kill people's windows installations with Macafee or Norton installed. AVG rarely lets one by.

Avast! is a good one, it's free

I've used both but really prefer Avast.

boonedoggle · 01-21-2009, 06:40 PM

I do the AVG too.

dunng · 01-21-2009, 06:42 PM

AVG Free as well...

CBI_2 · 01-21-2009, 07:11 PM

Used both Avast and AVG when I did computer work. Liked both. AVG found things that the customer's Norton or McAfee never saw.

AVG on all my 'puters

Another vote for AVG. http://free.avg.com. Have it on all my home WinXP computers and hand it out to people at work who ask for home recommendations. (I'm the IT Manager)

But I run Avast on my Vista machine. For some reason AVG wouldn't stay running on that one.
