I thought MAC's don't get viruses!?!?!?!
Where can I find free antivirus software for windows vista before my computer has more infections than a cheap whore?
William V, I'd disagree.
I've been an IT Professional for several years, and I'd recommend AVG Free. It's protected my Windows PC very well for a long time. The only disadvantage is that it won't protect you against spyware: for this (and I'm afraid it's paid-for) I'd recommend AVG Internet Security.
However, I'd argue that the solution is more in prevention than in cure:
-Don't use P2P file sharing software.
-Don't open email attachments unless you know what they are.
-Don't run .exe files unless you know what they are.
-Use common sense!
AVG Anti- Virus is pretty good.
go www.download.com and u can find a lot of anti-virus and free
Avast or perhaps AntiVir
Do yourself a favor and make sure you have a REAL virus protector in place and keep it up to date. DO NOT use one of the free registry scrubbers or antivirus tools so many here suggest. Some of these are just ok, but far too many are themselves evilware and most of them are pretty flimsy. Some actually implant other spyware, adware or even viruses or trojans on your system and make things worse--far worse. The problem with a weak antivirus program is that it gives you a false sense of security--like Airborne cold-preventer. Using nothing at all would be better as you would be more careful about where you venture on the Internet.
Does anyone know a free antivirus software for the nokia n95?
The link on the other answer to this question didn't work

What is a good and free antivirus software for my laptop with windows vista? what kind of security software should i download. It would be nice if everything was free. Thanks.
If you have no cash: Get AVG or Avast! Extrremely effective and FREE!
If you have some money to spend: Get Kaspersky Antivirus or NOD32. Powerful antiviruses.
well i like avg free edition, i got it from download.com
it always helps me out and i have vista
try Download.com they have a bunch
I use Norton Aniivirus and i use adware 07 anit virus software. look online. they are all cheap. norton protects you for a two years and is only like 135.00.00. Adware is free.
I just bought CA internet Security Plus from tigerdirect.com for 60$ and its on a 70$ rebate.
If I were you I would get Norton Antivirus. I have it on my computer and it works really good.
I use avg, and it works great for me. You can also go to www.trendmicro.com then to house calls and do a free on line scan. I use this as well once a week. Nothing is perfect so I use both and have no problems
I use Spyware and Trend Micro Antivirus. They work extremeley well, you should try them!
Nod 32 is good but i use Symantec antivirus. Works 4 me. :)
One of these will do fine:
i need good,reliable and FREE antivirus program. i currently have AntiVir, but have really warmed to it, plus its licence will expire within the week.i dont want a automatic update downloader, rathe one where i can specifiy when the updates occur.any ideas?
Free? Probably AVG and Avast. By the way (referring to 鈥渏ibbarjap鈥?answer above) using 鈥渄etection capabilities鈥?as criteria for finding best AV, probably doesn鈥檛 reflect reality, as softwares which uses aggressive (or too aggressive) heuristic rules would produce most positives (out of which most would be however false as well 鈥?even having nothing against Kasperky itself which seems to be good AV). 鈥淔alse positive鈥?stands for incorrect detection where not-malware program is identified mistakenly as malware.
AVG or Avast
both are free
AVG works good for me
http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1
This site has a good list of free ones. http://www.basicspywaretips.com/getridof...
In my opinion (which is the only one I have!) AVG works best, free or otherwise. It was the only thing that got rid of a kakworm virus my sister sent me; Norton just let it right through. Good luck!
From a recent test at www.virus.gr the top 25 in virus detection capabilities are: ("in the wild" viruses)

http://www.grisoft.com/
Go to http://www.filehippo.com and there is a list of free anti-virus programs also you could try the vista website to see what they suggest.
For your anti-virus needs, I would suggest Avira AntiVir庐 PersonalEdition Classic. It has excellent heuristics, a virus detection rate that is better than most "paid-for" anti-virus programs and is light on using your computer's resources. Uses less then 10 MB RAM on my machine. And did I mention that it's free for life! Works great on my Vista box, too.

BTW, Avoid the free version of an anti-virus called AVG, it has horrible virus detection capibilities.
Enjoy!
AVG free from http://free.grisoft.com. They also have free anti-spyware, but you can also get spyware doctor from google updater.
I'm thinking about installing a free antivirus, a free antispyware and a free firewall. Three freewares in total.
I use AVG. It's free and decent.
If you want free anti-virus software then go with AVG 8.0 free edition, some people suggest Avira AntiVir which has a good detection rate but the free version can take upto 2 hours to update which makes it almost unusable, AVG updates are small and takes seconds.
Some people suggest Avast which has an outdated interface (Link below) and is poor at detecting viruses (pc pro labs test). http://www.download.com/3004-2239_4-1082...
AVG 8.0 is the best free anti-virus software its not perfect but has a nice interface, decent detection and quick updates. http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download-avg-...
Ad-aware is a useful free program as well run it once a week to clear obvious adware. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_a...
I would recommend using the firefox web browser it is simple and easy to use and it blocks a lot of drive-by viruses that internet explorer would let through.
I have Norton Antivirus on my computer, but it needs activating whitch I can't do cause I haven't got the product number. I tried to download the free antivirus from the internet, but nothing happened. I don't know whether I need to cancel the old antivirus before getting the new one form the internet. I really don't know what to do, Norton still comes up and says I have a problem that needs fixing. Could anybody give me an answer here, please?

i need a anitvirus and antispyware program that is free that will protect and secure my pc from any other stuff and it has to be really good because norton antivirus that comes with the google package..and when i did i virus scan it got rid of most of the problem but there were a bout 4 or 5 that have to b removed with a a better version
can someone offer a really really good free antivirus and spyware program
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
IF norton did not get rid of them,, then all the anti-virus software that is posted above me will not work,,,,,
and spybot..what else is similar to avg antivirus and free. Please leave a link if possible (note I am not looking for an antivirus but antispyware)
Try a online antivirus scanner and a online anti-adware/malware/spyware scanner in safe mode with network to clean up your computer BEFORE you download anything.
Turn off system restore before you boot up in safe mode with network to clean your system restore points for viruses, spyware, adware etc.
To get in safe mode tap F8 when booting you computer.
Choose "Safe mode with network".
Go to Start 鈥?Run - type iexplore http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
When that scan does not find anything you reboot again in safe mode with network.
Go to Start 鈥?Run 鈥?type iexplore http://www.ewido.net/en/ Enter(ok).
Do a full system scan. If something is found, delete it, reboot and do the same again in safe mode with network.
**NOTE: Do NOT do anything else with your computer when scanning. This because you can start virus/adware/spyware/malware manually.
When no one of these scanners are showing anything you can reboot back to normal mode.
Hi, I want a free antivirus remover that actually works Ive got AVG, COMODO, ADVANCED WINDOWSCARE V2, SPYBOT, ADAWARE, But my computer is stil f***in Runin slow %26 pissin me off, I've done cleanups etc. Is there a good virus remover thats free out there? help!
AVG is an amazing program. If you used all of these programs and it is still running slower than you would like, check to see how many programs you run at a time. Your CPU usage may be up toward the higher percentile. This is where all the programs are running at once making your computer slower.
Another thing you can do is disk defragment your hard drive.
This will take the programs used more often and put them in the front of yoru hard drive per say. Making them run faster.
Another thing you can do is format your hard drive. Basically, this is deleting everything off of your hard drive including your operating system.
This requires knowledge of computer and how to put an operating system back on. So have someone who knows what they are doing to do this.
In conclusion, it doesn't seem to be viruses that are slowing your computer down, the lack of computer maintenance is the cause.
Is AVG free antivirus descent protection or it's just better than nothing since they say , you get what you pay for.Thank you.
It is pretty good. It caught more on my computer than when I had Norton through ATT Yahoo Internet.
I don'f know about the free version, but I'm using a trial version of avg and so far, it's okay. Usually a free version doesn't give you all the benefits of the paid version. I like the avg anti-virus utility, and probably will buy it when my trial is up.
AVG is free.
AVG is also one of the worst programs to detect virus'.
If all you can afford is free, better than nothing.
If your looking to buy, go for Kaspersky, Nod32, or Mcafee.
This free antivirus from Germany ranks quite high with the purchase antivirus. Far superior to AVG antivirus in detection.

I use AVG free on some systems and AVAST! on others. (IT depends on the Operating System I have on the computer.)
BOTH are free, both are good. (I assume you mean for windows.)
There are also a few other free ones that I am not familliar with, and some for specific OS's, (in some cases built it to the OS!).
AVG has been driving me crazy recently with a constant rash of new false positives ~ programs that I know aren't virus laden are labelled as visuses and disabled GRRR!. I have read elsewhere that this is called by heuristic scanning and it was recommended that this be switched off.
I would like to know how to switch heuristic scanning off?
AVG doesn't seem to have any means of getting feedback from their users either which is a bit of a problem. Is there a better free antivirus product out there?
A very high percentage of computers scrapped each year is because of virus, spyware and malware. I hope you don't think that AVG is protecting you from anything but viruses, and not that well at that. Buy a decent antivirus, or suite for that matter, that will give you full protection. Go to CNET for reviews. Take a look at Norton 360.
Now you know why only kids %26 fools use AVG.
Uninstall AVG %26 use one of these:

I'm not sure but I think spywares or worms are eating my systems and making it slow. I need a good antivirus and antispyware for free.
Check out this article: http://www.free-software-catalog.com/sol...
It's called How to Secure Your PC for Free.
It contains links to everything you need to secure your PC.
I would recommend AVG antivirus with a combination of Spybot -Search%26Destroy and WinPatrol. These are all freewares and lite on your system thereby taking up less of your system resources unlike norton and mcafee. More over these are effective than others considering that they are freewares.
Winpatrol provides you complete control over your system by alerting any hidden changes made to your system and spybot protects your system against any threats like spywares,adwares, trojans and threats in installed softwares.
search and destory its free
i use avg for both www.free.grisoft.com
Avast! antivirus will be a best one. I tried it and I am satified with the results.
AVG antivirus free edition. it's free and very light on the system. works really well along with Sygate Personal Firewall (also free).
theres not much free crap out there but spybot search and destroy S %26 D
I'd recommend you to use avg.
AVG without a doubt.
In Windows XP Norton anti spyware and virus is already inside it.. Like comes installed already when you buy the computer.
It might be wise to check to see what your internet service provider has to offer. It might not be free, but will run from $4.95 to $6.95 per month with all the new viruses id-ed,
Well, here's how it goes: My comp. has this annoying virus that spreads via Windows Live Messenger by fabricating a file transfer request and, upon accepting that request, you've contracted the virus. I don't know if it's dangerous or anything, but it's VERY annoying and my avast! 4 Home Edition FREE won't pick it up. My friend suggests PC Tools AntiVirus... I've heard good things about avast! and I don't wanna be so quick to uninstall it. Also, if you know any FREE AntiVirus software that's better than the two above mentioned, please, don't hesitate to recommend it.
The best FREE antivirus is the one tested to have the highest detection / removal rates by those who test them such as av-comparitives.

can u pls tell me which is the best free antivirus?
In my spare time I test on my backup computer all antispyware/antivirus programs to see if the perform as claimed And especially to see which one have embedded trojans/adware either in their program or in the wizard installer used to guide you through the installation.
What is rate as 1-2-3-4-5 is not always the best. Especially when you can find free programs that are light years ahead in technology over the purchased.
In my computer I use the following free programs.
For antivirus you can only use one or you will have serious conflict with your system. You can use three or four antispyware without any conflict.
Avast in my opinion is the very best. Have used Avast for nine plus years and never had one virus. They are out of Prague.
I have used Avast for over nine years an I never had one virus.
http://www.avast.com This program is free and has one of the very best background scanner that will catch any virus in real time and destroyed the virus before it can enter you system.
Updates auto., two or three times per day.
They will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key that is good for one year. After one year you only have to request a new key.
i want to know what is the best free antivirus i can recommend to a friend because i think his computer is infected can someone recommned 1..........

i have windows xp service pack (2) and i would like to no if some one no of a free antivirus that i can download not a free trial, because a free trial will only detect a virus but not remove it , to remove it i should subscribe with them .. i want to download a free antivirus that can scan my computer and if it detect a virus that can also remove them for me , with out me subscribing ....
spybot and avast! good combo....google em!
AOL has a free anti-virus progam that's pretty good.
I've heard some good things about avg free antivirus software, but is it really safe? Did you expierence any problems with it?
Please let me know! Or if you can offer any better ideas, leave em! Thanks.
AVG is a good anti-virus software but it is not great. However since AVG is free you have nothing to lose. I personally think Avast is a better choice for free anti-virus software.
I think you should try both of them and see which one you like the best. Just make sure to uninstall your current anti-virus program before installing another. You should never have 2 anti-virus programs installed at the same time.
As of April 2008 they have chosen to turn AVG antivirus into a VIRUS itself with the addition of a "feature" which randomly fires up your PC's web browser WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION taking you to AVG's website to ADVERTISE for their version 8 product suite. AVOID THIS PROGRAM!!! Report It
Loads of people love AVG and I'm sure you'll find many reviews from computer magazines which will tell you how wonderful it is.
You can check out av programs via the 'Comparatives' link here: http://www.av-comparatives.org
I'm considering using free antivirus after my current subscription runs out and want to know if it's the real deal. Pros and cons please. And yes searching similar questions didn't yield any good, conclusive answers.
I have found that Avast Anti-Virus is great. It is a commercial application that has been made freely avaliable to home users. They still have a very strong user base comercially and as they deal with companies are very up to date on their pattern files. Most of your Anti-Virus software that comes from your Broadband/Dial-up provider is very stable and well updated. I would probally stay well away from GPL or Community developed Virus Protection, as you are only as safe as the company that makes it.
Avast: Http://www.avast.com
try AVG, its very good antivirus, keeps the definitions up to date.
Panda seemed to have detected the most viruses, from personal experience. I have a list of em at http://www.jimmyr.com/security.php I don't even use an active virus scan, but every once in awhile I scan using multiple online scanners.
No scanner is best. They all use complicated algorithms to detect viruses quickly, that's why its best to use several. Emule has a few antiviruses...
I am pretty much fed up with norton not working from time to time..... I would much rather like to go with a FREE ANTIVIRUS and FIREWALL....
Please let me know what r the best options for me

AVG was recommended by one of the instructors at my school and for awhile i heard nothing but good things from AVG, but when i actually researched it a bit i saw plenty of complaints. Where is AVG's weakness? %26 any other free antivirus you know of?

Is their some kind of free antivirus That will boot from disc? I have a virus that will not let me download a antivirus from the web.
If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):
1. AVG Free
a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
Cons: low virus detection
2. Avast!
a. Real-time protection
b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface
3. Avira AntiVir
a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
b. It's cute umbrella icon
c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
Cons: A very sluggish update
Any of these can be downloaded to a disc - you will need to run this anti-virus in Safe Mode (tap F8 as the computer boots up and choose to boot to safe mode). It is also important to update the virus definitions once installed on your computer.
Go to http://www.free-av.com/ and download Avira Classic. Then go to http://www.avira.com/en/threats/section/... and download the latest definitions. After installing Avira, go to the update menu and click manual update..., locate the file and then scan.
Good question...
Here are the hassles I'm trying to avoid:
* high resource usage (Panda Software)
* a virus disabling the antivirus (Norton)
* Internet Explorer dependencies (Mcafee)
* bad tech support (almost every antivirus vendor)
* firewall or antivirus pop-ups (systray notification is fine)
Ideally, the vendor would have forums, user-submitted documentation and other mechanisms short of contacting technical support to solve problems, and a bug reporting form.
If the answer is Trend Micro, will someone please help me find someone who can support it free of charge without my having to call them? The spyware scan seems inconsistent sometimes finding things sometimes not (2 minutes of each other), it has trouble removing TSPY.SN and keeps popping up to tell me it found TSPY.SN creating what is essentially an infinite loop.
When I boot into safe mode, the product fails to work properly.
Ideally, I would want a security suite.
--Sam
Norton is pretty hassel free if you've got enough system resources for it not to be a problem. Updates by it self, does the job, and besides if you have a NT OS system resources aren't something you've gotta worry about as much anyway. At least not as much as you do with windows 98, which was a nice OS for the time but basicly screws you over with the OS system resources running out and thus forcing you to restart everytime this happens.
I'd recommend McAfee Security Suite. It is not dependent on IE. It has a real simple User Interface (UI). Norton's UI is not as good as McAfee's but, is a second best. You can turn alerts to the way you want. Standard though, is where a little alert pops up in the system tray and the goes away, (also it does take up about 1/8 of the screen).
every one I go to lets me download it for free, BUT it says that I will have to pay to have all the virus's cleaned up. I know there has to be a site to download spyware and antivirus for free and I mean totaly free all the way through

For your PC to be OK, you have to protect it from viruses and hackers!
The virus is a small program that attach itself to other files from your computer and can harm your computer, by restarting it, freezing it or even by deleting your files or stealing your personal information.
To keep your computer safe from viruses you have to use an anti-virus program, like Norton, AVG, Kaspersky, Avast, Antivir, McAfee, Bit Defender. Some are free and others have trial versions.
Here you have some links to download the free versions of some of the best anti-virus programs, as well as other security tools:
http://www.kiete.com/download/security/i...
AVG Free is probably the best free anti virus program. Go to free.grisoft.com to get it
try avast, its free for home users. i have been using it for more the 1.5 years now
For all computer related problems please check out
http://computer-probs.blogspot.com/
It not only gives complete solutions but also offers
free downloads of effective softwares which can detect
and eliminate all spy ware /virus /ad ware /Trojans completely.
If you go to www.eset.com you can get a free 30 day trial of NOD32...a very good anti virus.
Norton antivirus removes all kinds of viruses and spywares. For me it's sure well worth the price..
My Norton Antivirus Software lapsed a few days ago and they want $69.99 for 2 years. My Dad is real mad that I let it lapse, so how can I get free antivirus protection on a college campus?
google pack!
Try download.com or if you are a comcast customer, they offer free virus software. You could also go to Mcafee.com and I think they offer a free trial for 30 days.
Check if your college has a site license for any antivirus product. Or, better yet, get rid of Norton and get AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic, it's free:
http://www.freeav.com/
You may try avg antivirus.It's free.
AVG
AVG is free and a lot of people love it.
avg its free %26 good
try avg free and make your dad happy
may god bless you with wealth
You can have it either from google pack or try it on yahoo downloads! I am sure about google (they have free version.) but on yahoo, they have trial version only.
I think most of the colleges provide students with free anti virus software.
or you can try download.com too. u might get something there
for google try the following link:

AVG by Grisoft absolutely free and a good, solid program.
avg, avast, is free and work really well
AVG is the best free one Ive found.
Verizon says they offer a free antivirus system when you use their DSL. Where is it? My family uses it but I don't think they installed the antivirus on.
get AV from verizon.
Verizon offers an Internet Security Suite,
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp...
but it is NOT free. If you prefer free security software, here are some recommendations from available freeware:
firewall:
Comodo (http://www.comodo.com), or
PC Tools (http://www.pctools.com/firewall)
Comodo recently released version 3.0 of its firewall, which adds an intrusion prevention component that's very effective, though it does take time for it to learn your system, and requires some ongoing attention by the user to make sure programs don't get improperly blocked. Comodo is one of the strongest firewalls available, freeware or commercial, according to the independent testing site matousec.com.
antivirus: (listed in order of preference)
Avira (http://www.free-av.com)
AVAST! Home (http://www.avast.com)

Go to or click http://www.download.com and search for (avg free) and download it.
HERES A LINK FOR FREE DOWNLOADS .. GO WITH AVAST STAY AWAY FROM AVG EVEN IF YOU SEE USER RATING HIGH ...ONLY HAS DETECTION RATE OF 80% NOT SO GOOD ... ALSO ZONE ALARM IS FREE AS WELL FOR FIREWALL ..

The best software ever is AVAST!
Google it and download! Free and it is the easiest and best I have found!
There are several free anti-virus softwares. It is now your choice that which one do you use. I recommend you to use any of these following program given.
1. Activevirus Shield
ActiveVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.ActiveVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.It has automatic update. Download it from http://www.download.com/AOL-Active-Virus...
I want to download free antivirus in my USB flash disc and transport it and download again to my home .Tell me please from which website to download for free.
The best free software is AVG! from grisoft. But be warned- the free AVG is not a complete replacement for a complete suite- such as Norton. The free AVG contains no real-time protection- which means you will have to run the scans yourself and it does not have as big of a database of "known virus." I would highly recommend buying a full suite- Norton is your best bet
COMPLETE security suite here

Today you are in just as much danger from Spyware I Recommend SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.download.com/SUPERAntiSpyware...
yesterday! I downloaded a file and scanned it right away. It told me that the file was virus free but when i decompressed it, i end up with two files. One that was ok and the other one was a trojan named Kernels88. How come avg didn't detect it when i scanned it just before? Is there another free antivirus that is more effective than avg? Thank you very much for your help!!
avg is very effective. However, when you scan a compressed file it will only scan the files that are visible. You should have opened the compressed folder and scanned again so that all the files were visable.
Because there is a reason its free, its crap.
There is nothing better than browsing the Internet with your hard drives in a vault.
Google "Internet Freedom Disk" to see the video
You have to put up with some minor inconvenience, but compare that to losing a hard drive or having your identity stolen and you'll see it is worth it.
Yep FREE!
Well avg is good antivirus it been there for years now. But u cant expect one software to do it all. I would suggest reinstalling avg and getting one antitrojans software for free u can get ewido from www.ewido.net or a-squared free
norton is now part of the google pack and it is free to keep!
I currently use Avast, but I've heard that AV is the best free antivirus and internet security software.
And what is the best free software to scan, detect and remove adware, malware, spyware, etc?
use Zonelabs best protectn including 3types anti virus/spyware and firewall
AVG
McAfee and Norton really really suck (up resources)
Avast misses alot
AntiVir is useful sometimes
To your last question: the is NOT ONE good product that covers all of that.
you need to do some research on both these concepts:
HIPS: host-based intrusion-prevention system
IDS: Intrusion Detection System
Please, please don't run windows in an administrator's context!!
for maximum security..try these combination
SuperAntiSpyware
AVG
Ccleaner
McAfee SiteAdvisor
Ad-Aware
avast! antivirus Home Edition, anti-spyware %26 anti-rootkit for Windows
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht...
avast is better than avg in my opinion.avg is good but avast is better when it comes to free ware.they both offer paid upgrades as well.i used to have avg and switched to avast.never looked back.if you are talking about malware thats a differant story.avast'avg'ect are anti-virus.anti-spyware is a differant animal.norton isnt free and its a rescource pig and sucks.many people recomend ad-aware 2007 free.i dont.this program isnt near as good as it used to be.best anti-spy?paid would be spyware doctor.free? i like spyware terminator.there are others that are free.a web search will give you a ton of choices
My PC Guru set me up with Mcafee, wich I LOVE!! I also use spybot search and destroy, and also adaware. Between the three of them they really saved my butt a week ago. They are free and very user friendly.
kaspersky is the best for me,,,,,,mix it up with some anti-spyware ang anti adware......
Get Avast its the best
Bit Defender
hi where can i download good reputed antivirus softwares from? I want freewares no trial versions....Something like norton avast, mcafee could be good enough. Can i get the links please cuz my pc doesnt have a antivirus yet.
(Only free verions please, i dont intend to pay at all)

My Mcafee has low antivirus since I can't update it because my comp admin is out of the state.
1. Avast
2. AVG Free
NOD 32 antivirus system speaks for it's self,..... Proactive protection against Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Rootkits, Adware and Phising...
Best Detection.. Fastest Performance, Mininmal Resource utilization.
Don't listen to the guy below me. Nod32 isn't free and catches less than these three free antiviruses.
Proof:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft...
AVG, Avast, or Antivir. Antivir has the best overall detection of any of the free antiviruses, but does have a pop up screen during updates that some people find annoying. If not use AVG don't listen to people that say AVG sucks, cause it doesn't. It has approximately a 96% detection rate, same as Avast and it has a scheduled scan unlike Avast. If you want a slow running computer just download Kaspersky or Zone Alarm, they're worst than the viruses themselves. Also I would recommned getting a good antispyware like Spyware Doctor Starter Edition which is free, AVG antispyware which is free, and/or Adaware and you'll be fine.
Spybot ,spyware terminator,avast and bit defender are all good.
If Free then It has to be Avast! home edition.........
Avast! antivirus home edition, is free.

Kaspersky Internet Security Or ZoneAlarm Internet Securitytry the free trial. F*** AVG Its Sucks dont listen to people on yahoo when they say Hey Use AVG but if you want free then its Avast

I have a Nokia 6151 which is a normal mobile with bluetooth, infrared and everything. I searched for mobile antiviruses but they mentioned only Windows 2005, Smartphone and other operating systems for mobile devices. Is there any free mobile antivirus which supports my normal mobile phone that does not have any operating system? Pls advice
go to www.nokia.com and check the help or support column
Does a free antivirus program protect from viruses ??
AVG Free or ClamAv/ClamWin.
I have tested and used AVG, ANTIVIR and AVAST, they all work really well and don't slow the system down to a crawl like mcafee and norton. Also unlike norton and mcafee I have never had an issue trying to remove any one of those 3 from a customers computer. I did have some issues with my favourite of the 3 Avast not playing well with ZoneAlarm free firewall, the best software firewall on the market, free or otherwise.
NOD32 by the way isn't free. So that doesn't answer the question.
McAfee, Norton, and PCCillian are all good choices if you want to buy a product, but it really isn't necessary.
AVG. But it also helps to have a firefall and other programs to help protect against viruses.
Here is what I use to keep my computer clean, note on the AVG there is a new free version, 7.5 I think it is.
Anti Virus
http://www.grisoft.com/doc/products-avg-... - AVG Anti Virus

The best free antivirus is surely Avast antivirus download it from http://www.avast.com/ it even beats paid ones.
advantages
%26gt; doesn't slows your system , best performance(only beaten by nod32)
%26gt;best herustics scan engine (used to identify future virus)
%26gt;best boot time
%26gt;frequent updates
%26gt;low memory usage (only beaten by nod32)
%26gt;good scanning time
disadvantage

best Av in order
kaspersky(paid) ,no virus will escape ---1
Avast(free) %26 nod32(paid)---2
Avast! Antivirus and Zonealarm has one.http://www.zonelabs.com/
Some paid bundles are expensive - some even reaching 40 to 50 dollars. They're all in one internet protection, but each specific function they offer can be found free in different software companies like AVG for antivirus %26 spyware, Zonealarm for firewall %26 spy blocker and Sophos for anti-rootkit.
My opinion... YES! And AVG is no resource hog like Norton for example. Here what I use...
Windows Fire Wall

LoL.....you don;t need all those answers below....you just need Norton 360, it does everything. Trust me....your computer will run better. Good luck
I have been using computer over 20 years. Believe me get the freebies... It takes a bit of effort to run them but they are free and will be less taxing ob your system.
I have PC at my home , which is best free antivirus to use ?
avvast trial is ok
Try the following stuff
1)Kaspesky Anti virus
2)Comodo firewall professional
3)Comodo Boclean
KAV detects more than 700000 threats and they have been around this business more than anybody else.
Spend some time with Comodo Firewall Pro advanced settings. Using those settings you can detect most of the new threats.
Boclean is really nice software and it can detect most of the threats which have been packed or encrypted.
Those two comodo products are absolutely free.
Comodo Boclean is must and it is the best Anti-Virus supporting software
So how did I get infected in the first place?
You usually get infected because your security settings are too low.
Here are a number of recommendations to help tighten them, which will hopefully make you a less likely victim:
I use this one for free, but it's german and so I believe it wouldn't help you really !
Nevertheless here is the Download-link:

i used Kaspersky Anti-Virus...it is da best one..just try it
where i download free antivirus for nokia 6300. Can it support s60 files or any else. Please tell
visit www.nokia.co.in
Log on to www.mobile9.com. Just register yourself with the model of ur mobile phone. You can find everything you need for your mobile phone. Its a very good website..cheers
dear friend! you don't need to download an antivirus for Nokia 6300 as no antivirus program is available for it. Furthermore, Nokia 6300 doesn't require an antivirus software as it is an s40v3 mobile and there are no s40 viruses. You have the risk of getting a virus only if u are using a Symbian phone, so dont worry you can download any junk you want to while using the nokia 6300. NO NEED FOR AN ANTIVIRUS. Cheers
i already hav a norton antivirus. its quite old and not all dat gud. can anyone plz recommend another free antivirus? the trial of mcafee is for 90 days. can i download it for free after 90 days again? also plz tell, while downloading it, is dere a risk of virus?
http://free.grisoft.com
AVG free addition
Don't let the free part fool you. This is one of the best, pay or no pay.
Also, you might need a few other programs:
Firewall:
www.zonealarm.com
Zone alarm is the best free firewall.
Registry Cleaner:
www.ccleaner.com
The best out there
Spyware:
You need a few of these

Hope this helps
Update norton antivirus. That is the best solution i think, which ever antivirus you install, it should be updated frequently. to update norton follow the link
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avc...
For basic security required by personal users, you require ONE anti-virus, ONE firewall and at least TWO anti-spyware. I have given the links to the best you can have for free, in each category. Get them all.
my system is running amock due to spyware. Please someone suggest workable FREE antivirus DOWNLOAD.
Its not a download, but if you go to trendmicro.com and run "housecall", it will identify and clean for free. Depending on your speed, it may take awhile so plan accordingly. Its not one of those that say yeah you have problems - buy me and I'll fix them.
Anti-Virus' are a personal preference type.
You know what you want it to do and when, so you
want to look for what you want the AV to do specifically.
Some people like using FREE AV's which are okay for
the price, which they're some good AV's out there
that are free, some are bad as well.
I guess it comes down to what program that you like
the best and which one has the more pretty colors
that entertain your eyes.

Any suggestions? Please tell me which free antivirus programs you suggest!
As a complete package,I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following link http://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps

nothing in life is free. the free software you download online contain trojans and spyware. they will slow your system down and monitor your internet usage. that is the price you pay. they are secure in your personal information will not be compromised by those trying to steal your information for illegal purposes but as with any free download it comes with a price. friends download a free anti virus program and it came with several hundred trojan/spyware programs attached. remember, nothing in life is free. pay the $40 and buy a reputable antivirus package.

Sorry, big mal your wrong
BitDefender Professional version 9 - detection %26 removal rate 96.63%

DON'T USE AVG IT IS A VERY POOR ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM THAT JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR TODAYS COMPUTING - DETECTION %26 REMOVAL RATE ONLY 82%
Unless your running Vista Then your question should be "help I'm running Vista what is there for me."
Visit www.freewarefiles.com and search there. A lots of anti viruses are available there for free
I would either check the the Internet or magazines for other listings that they have listed!

Norton AV is not good choice. its lag system and worst of all its didn't catch really serious viruses, malware.
I have Vista Ultimate, and I tried tons of antiviruses, most of them saying that they need me to pay. Well, I tried OneCare, AVG, even RootKit, Panda and some others. Please, could you advise me on an antivirus for Vista Ultimate that's free, efficient and compatible? And please, tell me also WHY you would recommend that antivirus. Thanks!
bitdefender. the best nti-virus.
99.6% detectable rate. the best one out there.
AVG should be compatible, if not then get free Zonealarm. Strongest firewall ever! 99% viruses come from the internet, and as long as you downlaod from legit websites, you are safe. Zonealarm even lets you let specific programs run with the inernet or not. dont be overwhelmed with te options, play around a little to get the hand of it. antivirus isnt really necassary unless you download ALOT of .exe files from the internet. Zonealarm should keep you safe till AVG is compatible with vista.
avast free home edition is free never had problem with them-
I need some really good free antivirus/spyware programs that won't hurt my computer to use. I think I have a virus and I know I have some kind of spyware, both of which have really affected my computer. Is there any such thing as good free programs for either and where could I get them if there are.
Your internet provider probably supplies a protection suite for free.

These are a few FREE programs (which I personally use), which work great together to check whether your computer is infected, if anything is found they will remove the problem files. Make sure to disable your own Anti-virus before installing a new one because it may cause a conflict.
MAKE SURE TO UPDATE ALL SOFTWARE SO THAT IT WORKS AT ITS FULL POTENTIAL!
Download the following:
Spybot: Search %26 Destroy - Application to scan for spyware, adware, hijackers and other malicious software. Make sure to download all of the newest updates before scanning.
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirro...
Windows Defender - Windows Defender is a free program that helps protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other unwanted software. Make sure to download all of the newest updates before scanning.

A Free online Scan you can perform is at Trend Micro鈥檚 website. They have an online scanner that works through your internet browser to detect viruses and malware on your computer. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
what is the best, free, antivirus that dosent drastically slow down a pc at startup?
If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in order of popularity, but please choose the right one for you (install only one):
1. AVG Free
a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
Cons: low virus detection
2. Avast!
a. Real-time protection
b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface
3. Avira AntiVir
a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
b. It's cute umbrella icon
c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
Cons: A very sluggish update
Never install Norton anti-virus, it will take over your computer and is almost impossible to completely remove. The best anti-virus available is Kaspersky or NOD32 (recent tests at av-comparatives.org).
AVG Free edition. Downloadable free from www.download.com %26 fully free to use. They also do a free anti spyware program which works great too. I swear by this program, over any of the ones which you pay a subscription for.
AVG Anti Virus Free Edition. I'm surprised you haven't heard of it!
http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-F...
Norton antivirus 2008. I use it an think it is a great protection program and as far as it taking over your computer i haven't had this problem! also if you want to uninstall it their is an uninstall removal tool you can download.
oranges
AVG or Avast are equally great free programs.
AVG 7.5
www.free.grisoft.com
is there a good free Antivirus/Server Protection program for Windows server 2003Somthing that will stop hackers from trying to entring my server that is running "Hl2" Based games.
TRY AVG ANTIVIRUS FREE 7-5
FROM GRISOFT.COM
AOL ALSO HAS SEVERAL VIRUS PROGRAMS
SEASON'S GREETINGS
It depends on how much memory your PC has ??
If you run Server 2003 with over 1GB RAM I will
recommend Norton 2007 but if your server has less
than 1GB RAM then go for AVG free edition or Pro.
AVG is fast , great and won't eat your memory
resources.
Also think about a good firewall. Zone Alarm is great and
can take care of your security issues. Now maybe you
already have a router with a firewall built in.
Good luck,
Joe.
in microsoftt site and it's called beta2
I would like a free downloadable antivirus for windows vista ultimate.

Can any one tell me which is a free good antivirus available whoes virus definition files can be download SEPARATELY. I DONT WANT THE FEATURE TO UPDATE ONLINE I WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE VIRUS DEFINITION FILES SEPARATELY.
Well, like the other people who have answered you can download the AVG-Antivirus which is available in Free and Paid editions. It gives you the option to install from the file or directly off the net. I have also heard of Norton being suitable to update via files although i am not 100% sure.
A better-than-good, free anti-virus is AVG Anti-Virus.
You can download the virus definition files SEPARATELY and MANUALLY update them.
Check out the links below. Guides are provided.
try http://www.avast.com
and http://www.avg.com
an antivirus that really works and free forever, not a trial version...and less than 5mb... thanks..
this is a good site for free antivirus and antispyware, with regular updates
http://www.filehippo.com/
stick to one antivirus product; avg and avast are both very good; as for antispyware, spybot search %26 destroy and spywareblaster are an excellent combination, and neither conflicts with avg or avast.
you are going to be hard pressed to find an antivrus product under 5mb but Clamwin is only 5.5mb

free is always costly .
stll you can try AVG antivirus
download it from grisoft.com . its free for home /church/ chatiry ins
is there any good free antivirus porgrams
avg free edition is pretty good
If you want the best free antivirus currently out there that is high detection and removal then avira antivir personal free is the best choice. If you want a simple basic protection then go with what others suggest - AVG free. If you are a computer expert then avast home edition is for you. It is a good free antivirus but has generates more false positives than any other antivirus.
On firewalls, Online armor free and comodo firewall pro free are the best even besting commercial ones on matousec tests (one of the more trusted independent testers even of firewall companies). If you want it simple then kerio firewall 4 or ghostwall should be enough.
AVG free AV is very popular but it's hard to understand why as it has poor detection rates and big gaps in the protection it provides. AntiVir free has far better detection rates but is prone to false-positives, it also doesn't protect against spyware. Avast is a very good, free, all-round AV. Check it out for yourself:

My trial Norton 360 has run out and I can't afford to buy an antivirus program so was wondering what the best one out there for free download is?
There Is Windows Defender.
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security...
And also AVG.
http://free.grisoft.com/
I Have both on my laptop and they are both good.
Also make sure your firewall is on! As mine wasn't automatically on when i brought my laptop!
Firewall is Start, Control Panel, Security Center.
avast or avg both are better than norton but be aware that to truely remove norton you may hae to do a complete reload of windoze%26#123;mispelled on purpose%26#125; while your at it you can install mozillz firefox and forever say goodbye to popups and ads.
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from the following linkhttp://www.computeractive.co.uk/. On the home page select downloads and then the appropriate category.I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
Security Software That's Free:
I've always been a format and reinstall kind of guy, but now I have a lot of programs and files I don't want to lose by formatting. So I'm looking for a free antivirus
I've browsed through a few questions and the popular vote seems to be for AVG.
AVG is the best and is often recommended by tech professionals. They also have a good free antispyware program, which is worth installing.
i go with AVG too, i disabled the free virus programs provided with my Internet service just to use it.
AVG is updated daily and always the most thorough program I have ever used.
I use AVG
yap im using avg the free edition and it really works it detects viruses fast when it is upgraded it is really helpful. try seraching on the net..
Steve, keep in mind that FREE and BEST don't go together.!
Spend about $60 to $70 bucks and get Norton 360 or something else in that category.
AVG because Norton anti virus runs out and then a new virus appears again over and over and AVG is way higher than Norton Antivirus
Using avast here on three machines.
You might want to look into an imaging solution for backup - Acronis True Image is the preferred imaging software.
