Best anti software virus? Well, I don't really know which anti virus software is the best, but know some reliable ones. :) if you want a free anti virus software , i would recommend AVG or Avast! Both of them are free, and their virus database are updated daily. Here is the link to download Avast! antivirus software, www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download . Of course if you upgrade your Avast! you will have additional protection to other stuff, like Internet privacy protection, spam protection and so on. Currently, the free Avast! Can only protect you from regular viruses than attacks your computer. To me, I think that would be more than enough. That's because I don't save my personal information in any registration forms online. Kapersky would be another choice, but I doubt there is a free trail for you. But if you don't mind paying some, get kapersky. So yea. Hope this helped.

I agree with you, the paid anti-virus are better but the free anti-virus are also very good (good enough) and you always have to watch out what you do on the internet. because there is no anti-virus that can protect you from everything, because what you maybe think is Spam i maybe will like to get into my mailbox. But that link you shared is very good because avast is really easy to use!

For me, there isn't any best antivirus in the market because the new viruses are threatening us from time to time.
This is caused by those software geniuses who purposing release certain programs which are named virus to damage our system.
I did an online survey, most of the well-known antivirus software company as Kaspersky, Mcafee and so on do offer free trial package.
Before you decide to install the trial antivirus package, I suggest you to read through the provided technical information so that, the trail package is suitable to your operating system as Windows XP and Windows 7.
If you are still having any doubt of the relevant antivirus software, I am sure the relevant customer service representative will answer your queries via the email.

There are a few good anti virus software but what i can say is that the microsoft anti virus system in not good! It is free for lifetime but there are also other programs that have a free product. If you also game avast is the best option i think because on that anti virus system is a game mode installed. But some anti-virus system that i also used and isn't bad is avg. At the moment i use Avira, it is a very good one that have much updates so you are protected very well. You also can get Avira free adn i would recommend it to you.
Here is the list from what i think the best anti-virus systems are (1 is the best):
1 Avira
2 Avast
3 Avg
999 Microsoft free anti-virus
