Free would mean mediocre protection. I was using AVG free since the past 1 year. It would detect virus’s once in a while. However, just some days back, some virus hit me. AVG failed to detect it. I upgraded to Panda and its serving me nicely since then.
Can anyone suggest good free antispyware. Lately I am having problems with them. Free AVG antispyware only scans your computer, but it doesn’t run residently.
Try Panda Antivirus. Its really good. After I switched on it from AVG, over 100 spywares were detected!
I think AVG is better than norton. norton don’t even recognize some viruses. i don’t know why its kind of weired. i’m have AVG in my laptop and MaCfee in my desktop. I hate MaCfee. You better try AVG i’m sure you will love it.

I recommend you Kaspersky. I am using this anti-virus and it’s prety good…….. I tryed 4-5 anti-virus but the last one it was KIS…. Just give a try it’s you’re decision….

Here is something that will raise some eyebrows…..although I have used AVG since I stumbled upon it years back……I have NEVER had to use it..not once. What really makes peoples eyesbrows raise is that I am online ALL the time. so…spend the big bucks for Norton or McAffee??…Not for me.. Gary
buddy if you need a original license for KIS just spend some time and you will find out….
i have found 1 and expires in 233 and just for 1-10 min and for me is free
I’ve used both AVG and Avast and I’ll have to say that Avast is the better of the two. AVG used to turn off all of a sudden and wouldn’t startup until i reinstalled it..never figured out that problem..Online updates are a problem with both though..constant reminders and popups really frustrate the user..
I use two free anti virus softwares AVG and AVAST. These are very much helpful for protecting computer system from viruses. But Let me inform you that AVG will occupy more space in hard disk and will take more space in memory also with respect to AVAST.
I would vote for Avast. Avast is easier to update even if you doesn’ own an Internet connection. You can download the file into your pen drive or floppy disk and update it at home. The file usually were made into the smaller size.
well by far AVG is the best free antivirus solution ,
Avast is also good , but AVG is more trustworthy & reliable

I can tell what I am using. For me Free AVG works best. First of all it is free, but works really professionally. I am using it for maybe couple years and never had any problems with viruses. AVG detects them really good. Once installed, you can forget about it – it updates automatically and can schedule periodic virus scans to keep your system clean. You should try it.
I don’t know maybe other have any good experience with other free antiviruses..
i am using symantec from 3 years
it is really good and as you people know it is from a well known company
payment and subsrciptions are worth compared to the rates wrt to support.
we installed a 4K licence for our organization and the support was good
but some i also can say the higher versions eat more memory
in norton 2004 i was running good speed but 2005 , 2007 takes lot of time
Hmm i recommend Sophos … is very very good, he scan the pages with phishing and others…
or NOD32…
Free AVG isn’t bad, but for free I think Avast! is the best.

Realistically I think you do get what you pay for, you might like to consider a subscription to NOD32 or Kaspersky, but the free Avast! should work pretty well anyway.
Even I feel that AVG is the best anti virus solution to use because of its simple architecture and user friendly interface. It also allows free updates of latest DATS to clean new viruses. Every free version is limited to some features similarly AVG’s free version is limited to anti virus and does not contain Anti-Spyware, Anti-Spam and Firewall in the free package.

I have used both AVG and Avast. AVG is lighter and works good but for better and deeper protection AVAST is good. Lost of options in avast but it uses a bit more memory then AVG.
So if you have a computer which is a bit slow then use AVG otherwise AVAST it is.
^^hey man avast is lighter than AVG.. i have personally expreinced this since i have used them both…I have just 256 MB RAM and i’m still using Avast…:D
