CrypticQuery Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I've been looking for a good and free antivirus software to replace HORRIBLE Norton, but I can't seem to find many, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylum Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Avast. Completely free unless you want all the un-needed addons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DRL Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Avast! Is good; up there is AVG Free.For anti-spyware, I recommend Spybot: Search & Destroy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 The best free antivirus software out there are...Avira, Avast and AVG. Here's a small guide to help you choose between them:http://dottech.org/freeware-reviews/14151 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fox13 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I would have to say Avast. I've been using it for years now, and I would have to say it's helped me destroy quite a few trojans and viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Thanks everyone! Just finished uninstalling that computer hog Norton, and installing avast right now EDIT: Avast is so intuitive, it's SO MUCH BETTER than Norton Antivirus it isn't even funny! And being that it is free, it sweetens the deal even more . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FoXXX Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 My cousin said that AVG is terrible, maybe not use that one. I've heard that Avast is really good. I don't use any AV's myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use any AV's myself.AVG is quite good, I would not call it any 'bad'ever. However, AVG/Avira are better in somestuff, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Avast and AVG have already been mentioned, but I would like to add Microsoft Security Essentials to the list. For a free A/V, it is actually pretty decent. It also updates through the Windows Update system, which is nice because you don't have an additional update-checker running. I know, pigs are flying, hell is below zero, DZ recommended a Microsoft product. http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/?mkt=en-usNote that your Windows Install has to pass a Genuine Check before MSSE will install.
