A Good Free Antivirus

I use Avast, and it has performed wonderfully. I figured it must be a pretty good antivirus program, because it is the software that the University of Florida requires all it's students to use.

There are several that are recommended, but I use Avast. I have used register years now and always found it to be very reliable.

I can see some computer techy people replied and I have had the same anti-virus they suggested and felt they were good. However, a couple years ago when my laptop was having issues, I had this guy clean up my computer and one thing he removed was AVG. Instead he downloaded IObit and I love it. The antivirus has a sad face on the icon when you need to scan, when I open the anti malware, it will let me know if my computer has issues or not. They also have a program to keep drivers updated and an uninstaller, to completely remove programs you don't want. Like most downloads, this also has options for a couple things,I think one is a program to store your passwords, but I just uncheck the box every time it updates, because I don't want any extras. Here is the link if you want to check it out and I would be curious to see if @DaddyEvil or @Asylum has any feedback on this.

I use Avast and it is very good. It is rated top by many tech people

We have a subscription for our anti virus, so I won't have any suggestions to you. I'm sure that other members will have some helpful comments for you. Sorry.

Norton's, MacAfee, Sophos.

i have been told of a lot. i usually try them a while , then end up getting a stronger bought one where i can complain to them.

I really don't know any good free antivirus .. We are using apple products and apparently we don't need to worry about computer viruses.. I hope so..

i run malwarebytes, but also 've avira. used to use avg, but they let a gremlin sneak'n, then run wild so i switched to malwarebytes. ya still don't get 's much protection, usin' the free schtuff, 's ya do if'n ya purchase a good'un. 'course, then those tend to slow schtuff down fer some reason?

I've been using Avast Antivirus for years. It's free and is a 5 star rated antivirus program. I've also use AVG - it's good, but when they do their scan, you can't work on the computer until it's finished. Avast does everything in the background and keeps you updated that you are up to date. They do give you a few weeks to decide if you like it before you register it for your computer, but that is also free.

@simone10 I would also like to find a free antivirus that is good. I am anxiously awaiting an answer along with, I am sure, many other people.

My friend who is a qualified person in computer engineering tells me, while free versions of antivirus are available they are not fully reliable.

I can't help you there. I bit the bullet and bought one.

How about AVG? Or Avast? I remember working in a BPO, our computer we are using is under AVG's care. So far it was good.

I hav e used avast free anti virus for y ears a nd it workds great

I have only the Windows Defender which is free with Windows 10.

I think I have already given my opinion on your discussion, Sharon? I usually try to answer the actual question, but I may not have realized I was on a different question. I think I was called to this earlier? I'm sorry, I took my medication some time ago and I am getting quite confused.

I used Panda for several years and it did well. I purchased and renewed it annually online. Two years ago, however, my friend who owns a computer store asked me to try Kaspersky (also the paid version) and I'm using it till now on my PC and it has given enough protection to my computer.

I use Norton

All good things comes with a price,an antivirus is no exception to this..
