I've been using AvG for quite a while now, but they decided to go emo and will only have a retail version after dec 1st. Does anyone know of another good free anti-virus?
I saw some good reviews on microsoft security essentials. Free and apparently very good anti-virus.
Don't do norton, it blows.
Kaspersky is not free, but not expensive either. Full internet security and it doens't snoop away alot of your memory.
Erm. There is a free version after the 1st of December. Read the upgrade pages more carefully :P
Right at the bottom, in very small text, is, "Upgrade my current version only". This is the link you need!
Link to the 9.0 free dl:

Thanks!
Security Essentials is winning all the benchmarks!
only the malware removal benchmarks afaik.
But yes microsoft antivirus looks very promising

I'm using this one (avira antivirus) for years, on xp and now on win7 without any problems, its light and good.
Nod32 all the way!
I'm also using avira its very good on proactive protection.

Been using avast free home edition for over a year now. Seems to do the job. Give it a go if you're still looking.
Btw. you are mistaken.
They just want us to upgrade to the free avg 9 version before dec. 1st.
Its still free.

tbh. I havent had a problem with a virus while using avg. so I dont see a point paying money for another program.
