Does anybody know of any free GOOD antivirus downloads?

If you want a free anti-virus I recommend in this order (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

I don't think free is the way to go most free AV has low detection rate and they offer no support you may want to go with Kaspersky or Norton or McAfee. AVG and Avast is free

I personally only use clamav. Have for years, and never caught anything. Best thing about it, it only has 1 process running in task manager which equals more system resources for other real-time scanners you may be using . Automatically, and quietly scans all emails, and very thorough virus scanner in general.

Clamav are who all the retail branded products(norton,mcCafee) go to for the latest, and most complete virus definitions.
