Solve : Best FREE antivirus Protection?

Answer»

Ok guys I want to know what you guys think is the best free complete antivirus protection software on the market right now? I would RECOMMEND AVG, it can be downloaded here: http://free.avg.com/download?prd=afe

AVG is frequently updated to provide the latest protection more quickly.

Personally though, I PREFER Avast, which can be downloaded here: http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Avast has great on-access protection, giving you real-time protection. This is the main REASON I prefer Avast. AVG's interface is probably easier to use and navigate, but I think both PROGRAMS are good.

So for you I'd probably recommend AVG, but the choice is yours.

Hope this helps.Not to mention Avira.

No. I am using AVG right now, the latest version and it updates automatically at least once a day. As free user, you don't download at the high speeds that paid users get, but the downloads are quite small so anybody with a decent internet connection won't notice too much.

For AVAST, you have to grab a free user code from their website ever 6-7 months and AVIRA has a nag screen which can be disabled but in my experience, the screen still flashes a bit as it's loading.

Otherwise, all three are pretty good. Any free AV provider that updates at least once a day and has realtime scanning is good enough at least for me.
