This forum prohibits mention of Warez (pirated stuff)... So pls no discussions about Warez...

And yes you get very good free anti virus softwares

Do not go in for free AVG ... in my experience its useless

Go for Avira Anti-virus free personal edition
Read the user review for this anti-virus

Avira AntiVir Antivirus Review in Anti Virus Software at Review Centre

and download at
Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir

or
Avast Home Edition
Read review and download at
Avast Home Edition - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

I like AVG and using AVG 8.0 it never gave me any problem and gets auto update after every 4 hours, you can give it a go and can download it from download.com and its available in 2 versions, paid and free. You can use whichever you like

You should never ever use a pirated/warez version of an Antivirus or a Security Tool. It will do more damage than any viruses ever will.

Free Antivirus Softwares with Download links.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

Avira AntiVir Personal - Free Antivirus

Avast Home Edition

BitDefender Free Edition

PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition

ThreatFire AntiVirus Free Edition


All of these are Popular(from the top) and Free versions.

I recommended Avast Home Edition .

Good Luck !

hmmmmmmm................Good idea I am going to create a Thread on this.

Hey i agree AVG is the most popular

Smoothvibes just download and install some other anti-virus ... say Avira anti-virus .... Run a scan ... i ll bet you anything it ll detect viruses never detected by AVG

I use Avast pro after using many freeware /commercial wares including but not limited to Nortan,E-scan,NOD32,AVG,Panda,Kaspersky,Avira,Symantec etc

I think Avast is the best .... and in free version Avira is the best

Just google Avira antivirus reviews and check it out
or simply ask Starry Knight ..
