Yes, it is free. you can grab it on www.download.com just do a search once you get to the website and it will come up in the list.
I've been using it for about 2 months. I was using AVG but then they decided not to support the free version any longer and they asked that you buy the software in order to remain protected.
So I just switched to Avast.
Hope that helps.

I think you are using Internet Explorer for browsing. it makes our computer prone to virus attacks. you should use opera or firefox.
And about anti virus i recommend avg 8 if protection is your first priority.
If you need a good looking program go for avast, you can add skins like your favorite movie skin or spiderman etc. but not good at finding virus.
Kaspersky is good if you need annoying alerts everyday. not efficient as AVG.
AVG will not even allow any virus to enter your system and all others find them after entering your system.

Now i am using avast anti-virus but i recommend you to use kaspersky it will do better than avast. I think kaspersky will be the best to protect your pc from virus.

Kaspersky is a good anti virus... but the problem is the key you have to buy for it. there are some keys available in the internet but once you installed it and updated your av it would be blacklisted....

Actually i don't recommend any anti virus software because I know the virus detected my avg will not detected nod32 and vice versa..... and the virus detected by kaspersky will not detected by other and so on....... I reccomend you to have any one of anti virus....... At least it will block some virus, not all, but some. For me, I am using NOD32 and very satisfied with it than other. I used almost all and finally come to nod32..........

Any anti-virus is great when their are license one, Believe me right now i'm using AVG 8.0 professional (licenses) and it working good than my last anti-virus. I advice you find an anti-vrus that have license but if you one than tell me i will give it to you.
