Since the 1990s, virus has been spreading like mushroom. Antivirus company has since been blame to be the culprit to spread virus in order for users to buy their antivirus program in order to increase their sales volumn.
There are now so many antivirus company out there to claim as the best available antivirus. Has anyone of you used any of them and in your opinion what is the best antivirus available for FREE :D
As for me, i think most free antivirus is not powerful enough to resists most of the common virus. I prefer to use trial license and reinstall it once it expires to get my system protected.

I think that the best free antivirus is Avast antivirus, because it tells you when there is a virus, and it can actually replace the file that is infected with a virus, and it will replace it with a file that does not have a virus...
The Best Paid avtivirus is Norton Internet Security 2010, becasue you can customise what it does with certain viruses, and it can tell you.

I tried Avast before but i don't think it is good enough as i was infected by various malicious virus during that time.
I think Kaspersky and Eset NOD32 seems to be good.
I tried Norten Internet Security too but it slows down your computer.

Indeed Avast is the best. Free one year licence key. simple registration and protect your computer for one year for free. before i try Quick heal that was also good, but i found Avast is the best of all.

I also agreed that avast is free and main advantage is its one year license....it does not slows pc also...even though the free version is not that protective it is good to keep some one in the door instead of nothing.........basically it protects from some of the malicious viruses....
another option in paid i think is mcafee it is also good anti virus or you should try bit defender which is my favorite.

I use Microsoft Security Essentials and it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft website (of course the Windows OS has to be registered). I think it has worked for me well and detected some virus attacks. It has an easy to use interface and integrates well with Windows OS, since both are Microsoft products. I hate anti-virus programs which has too many configuration options, take up lot of system resources and detect normal activity as virus-like. MSE has not given me any such problem.
