Free antivirus programs?

[theREDdot]

Anyone know any good antivirus programs that will actually scan,remove, non-trial version, free + free updates.

I have used Avira Antivir and AVG Free Edition, both did their job just fine.

Get AVG & spybot.
AVG will automatically update itself & then scan automatically as well.
Use Spybot & immunize your computer. It will prevent a lot of known virus's, trojans & many other pests from annoying you. The update is not automatic & should be updated every 2 weeks or so, you also need to re-immunise after each update, but it is simple & the protection is always on..

SPAAMMMMM!

But. I suggest just switch to Mac. I have one for what the last two years and I haven't had one single virus.

PC's so outnumber Mac's that the viruses are mfg for PC so it's more effective, hits more computers. If Mac doesn't die on the vine and in fact gets popular, it will also get the attention of the malicious virus peddlers.

Comodo has just released afree version that works with Windows 7, so i am trying it out on my daughters new computer. It was easy to set up.

 

[theREDdot]

Yea I'm using Comodo at the moment, and I will get all everyone's reply on their share of the anti virus programs.

Avast! not only has real-time protection, but you can run a boot level scan with it, which can catch some things that can't be caught and quarantined with Windows running.

Geek Superhero is also good for real time protection. Though it isn't free, it's a cheap one time payment with lifetime support. It will automatically alert you if a setting's been changed, and so on (it can also be configured to revert certain changes automatically if you wish).

Mac users are simple minded that's why they want a computer that is simple to use and can't handle anything technical. And with Mac you lose your freedom of choice. With PC you can buy from multiple manufacturers and can choose to buy the accessories from so many vendors.
So PC = freedom
Mac = idiocy
