Anyone recommend me the best free anti-virus software please? Needed for 4-5 months approx... Should allow me to use my card online without worrying about details being stolen..

There's:
Avira
Avast
AVG
Others?

But not sure which one to go for...

Thanks

Ive used AVG combined with Adaware lavasoft for years with no problems there both free.

A great site for advice and downloads is (major geeks) an awsome pc site loads and loads of free downloads :Fish:

Also make sure you have got your windows defender running aswell loads of people dont activate it and keep it upto date roud:

Windows Security Essentials

We're looking to adopt it at work as it intergrates with SCCM (soon, anyway)

Tried AVG Free, it slowed my Win7 machine down. This was before their most recent screw up: http://product-team.blog.avg.com/20...ers-running-on-windows-7-64-bit-platform.html

Currently running Microsoft Security Essentials, but more recently I've been tempted to give one of the top testing products in Captain's thread.

i used to use AVG but over the last few years it has become so full of holes its pathetic.
i did for 2 years go down the kaspersky route and pay for my AV but now every system i use is running, Windows Security Essentials

Another MSE user here, plus vipre (that's not free but one of my clients is paying for it).

Apparently there are some improvements coming in MSE v2 which is in beta at the moment.
