free anti virus

[Syluxguy28O3]

I'm in the market for a good quality anti virus. can anybody suggest anything to me?

I use AVG.. does what i need it to do..

[nahuel]

if you are under windows maybe microsoft security essentials i didnt have problems since two years (yeah i am not a great downloader)

Get MS Security Essentials - it really is quite awesome. No resource hogging, lightweight, installs in a snap, sits there totally out of your way, and proven reliable too.

avg is the best there is. use it in combination with spybot S&D and adaware 9.6 and you got the best security there is, and 100% free

just dont get adaware 10, it sucks, eats up your cpu

so find a download for adaware 9.6 instead, and dont update when it asks you too

i installed avg. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE INPUT!

I use Avast, I used to use AVG until one day I couldn't eradicate a virus off my PC , and was stopping my AVG from running/just a whole fucked up ordeal.

Installed Avast,it saved my ass and my current Windows installation / uninstalled AVG , used Avast ever since.

In all truth, ALL free Anti-Virus solutions are A+ because well,they are free,and saving you $60 bucks,or more,at your favorite software shop,where ever that is. Spend that money on your woman ,or a game.

spybot search & destory uses alot of resources, as does mcafee which comes with a lifetime free subscription from my isp but i hate it, avg is really good and free, and i like superantispyware , malwarebytes use their trial versions which make it fully featured for 30 days and then reinstall it, is a good choice too. Don't pile too many antivirus and anti mal/spyware because it can freeze up your pc due to the resource overload. Had that happen to me.

also i recommend ccleaner , its a free download from http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

another good antivirus suite or firewall to add to an antivirus is Agnitum Outpost you can find it at Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

I find that throwing salt in the air and screaming "OOGAH BOOGAH" works pretty good. You have to do it right before a page loads and it works best if you use kosher salt.

downside: It can get pretty messy if you do a lot of searching
upside: you can do a sweep up and reuse the salt.

Another method is to loop your router so whatever is sent to your computer gets sent right back to where it came from.

AH HA!!! so that's the latest technology!

Microsoft Security Essentials, plus Malwarebytes Anti-Malware if you feel MSE's real time protection and virus scanner may have failed you, plus Spybot Search and Destroy.

@Syluxman - The technology has actually been out there for thousands of years, but it was suppressed because TPTB wanted to convince you that you need a paid membership and a cpu consuming software (that actually spies on you) to be safe.

Microsoft couldn't PAY ME to use their software for security. I do not trust Microsoft or Bill Gates at all when it comes to MY best interests.
