    AVG is good and its free

    Yes Avira is good – it’s much better than the wildly popular AVG.

    1. AVG Free
    a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
    b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
    Cons: low virus detection

    2. Avast!
    a. Real-time protection
    b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
    c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
    Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface

    3. Avira AntiVir
    a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
    b. It’s cute umbrella icon
    c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
    Cons: A very sluggish update

    The best free antivirus I know is AVG. Go and google it, and install it.

    Good luck!

    Yes Avira is good, but it lacks anti-spyware protection. It will catch most spyware but it’s not part of the protection. It will do a better job with trojans and worms than the other free choices. It is also very light. Avast is really your only other option. It has anti-spyware protection. Is not as strong as Avira with trojans. It will also use more ram than Avira. It is still a good choice. AVG is out, it does not included anti-rootkit protection and since some of the worse threats today are rootkits I don’t think it should be on your list.

    How to kill viruses for free with no strings attached?
    There’s a myth going around that if you play on the internet you have to pay for expensive security programs! This is simply not true! There’s three really good programs that are free to the public with no strings attached! Use these programs together and they make up the perfect security system that rivals any paid program! They don’t slow your computer down like other programs.
    The first is M-bam “Malwarebytes”It’s an on demand scanner with a really cool tool called file assassin.You can use this tool to delete rogue programs that freeze up your computer and keeps you from downloading and using security programs!
    The second is “Superantispyware” It’s another on demand scanner that catches what M-bam misses!
    Third is “Avira” It’s an on demand scanner and firewall “although they call it AntiVirGuard” I use this as my primary security.I have it setup to do updates and scans at night when I’m sleeping so when I go on my computer in the morning it’s there waiting for me to review all the bugs I caught the day before! “Note”Until you get your computer clean I would disable the AntiVirGuard It’s a little sensitive and can drive you crazy with popups saying your computer is infected.
    I found a very good video by Matt Rizos that explains the whole prosess in detail so get out the popcorn and watch this video!
