Yup got to agree with AVG, it does not lag your computer up like other free ones.

Updates are your most important .. with free versions you get one a day, however, there can be many updates in one day alone, so you need to manually do your updates periodically thoughout the day for your best protection .. ALWAYS ..

I'm not one to go along with the crowd, in fact I'm kinda anticonformist but AVG has it. I, many freinds have used it for years with great success. Recipients of emails feel a little better also when the see the little message that the message has been scanned for viruses.

Seems AVG is popular here...I have it myself at the moment; because its free, which is what I can afford.

I have used Norton, Norton 360, ZoneAlarm, MacAffee, AVG, etc. Half the time I´m not sure how to cofigure or what some of the message are asking me.
What I like to know is there one that doesnt cost $ 39-59 every year for a new version; one that lets you renew for say something $ 15-19 after all, all one realy needs another update. Am I asking for too much

I've used AVG for quite awhile. No problems or slowdowns like most others. I haven't noticed any adware issues either.

Cool Re: free Anti virus

How easy is kaspersky to work with?

I am currently using Norton Internet Security 2009 and have used Norton for several years, this latest version is a real pain as far as user interaction. Wish I had seen this 3 months ago before I renewed Norton.

If you don't want to purchase a anti virus program, then I would recommend AVG...

Dont be cheapos...spend a few dollars to protect your investment...Our support desk gets dozens of horror stories every month from customers who use free antivirus software...spend a few dollars on Kaspersky...Its worth every penny.

Thumbs up Re: free Anti virus

Nowadays you pay for one antivirus and internet security and you can use it on 3 computers in your home with full support.

Depends on so many variables as to how efficient your results are...

Spybot is d*mn good but not as good as Kaspersky on any given day...

If you are using XP or older...not so good, seriously!

And LUCK has everything to do with it!

Amen to Karenwms63.

Dont be foolhardy and think you can get away with using a PC without an Anti-virus forever!

Once you are infected and everything in your Pc is a mess and you have difficulty logging on you will cry at the thought of having to reformat your hard drive and losing all your data, images and years of hard work?

Dont be penny wise and pound foolish!

I have used norton for many years till recently about 4 months ago I got a virus and norton found it but could not get rid of it. Then about little over a month I got a another virus it was a about a week before norton was to expire and could not get rid of it. I canceled norton would not update it went to avg and they found the virus and cleared it up. Avg is free to update the norton was 59.00 dollars. I have not any problem with avg so far. I also put it on my wife pc and found a virus that macgaffey did not notice and got rid of it.
