Another option is to go the Open Source route and use something like Clam AntiVirus which is available for both UNIX/Linux (http://www.clamav.net) and Windows (http://www.clamwin.net). I've used ClamAV and Clamwin for a while and I like them both. Easy to install, easy to use, easy to administer.

Of the commercial (paid) products I've tried, I'm most satisfied with Trend Micro - it has minimal overhead, and works as well as some of the more prominnent names.  At home, I ue Avast! home edition - I find it to do a better job of preventing viruses than any other free antivirus product, as it has modules that provide email protection, IM protection, and file-sharing protection.

Hey pal,\n\nKspersky is the BEST!!! believe me with 99.8% of virus detection is the best.\nyou can check the website to select your product.\nwww.kaspersky.com\nthey have everything you need.\n\nCiao,

Depends.  Norton is probably the best but is a resource hog.  If you have an older machine it will slow you down.  McAfee has been known to cause problems with some machines but is good at finding viruses.  Today all the major software companies share their virus detection so there really isn't too much difference. \nIf you want a free one AVG from Grisoft is the best free one.  Download link here:\nhttp://www.grisoft.com/doc/40/lng/ww \n\nCheck your ISP.  Some have cut a deal with a company and offer you a free download.  Optonline, for example offers free Etrust from Computer Associates.\n\nWhatever you do don't venture out into the internet naked especially if you have a broadband connection.  Get something.  An anti virus, if you are on broadband, a firewall such as Zonealarm available here:\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp\nor Outpost. and at least two anti spyware applications such as Adaware, spybot or microsoft.  All are free.  The firewall in SP-2 for XP is not sufficient.

four good options:\n\nAVG Free, AVAST! Home Edition, AntiVir, and BitDefender Free Edition.  All provide on demand scanners;  BitDefender does not provide an always available background scanner, while the others do, making BitDefender a good complement to the others if you want a second antivirus engine that won't conflict with the first.

McPhee if you have comcast its free but if you want to buy I would say Norton. There realy is no "GOOD" free antivirus. The free ones will only strip your computer and take vital info then they resell them and you will start getting spam emails and the whole thing.

Kaspersky lab provides much better protection.  The link below is to the online virus scan. It finds loads of things stuff like norton won't.\n\nIf you need to handle a network, they have other solutions. You can scan your network with kaspersky for "winworkstation" if you want to download the trial.\n\nNote: You would ultimately want one of their server solutions  I would imagine. Not sure how you are set up.

AVG is your best bet for free Anti-Virus. Get it here:\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nIt's free for personal use.

From my professional experience as a consultant:\n\nNone of the Antivirus programs are perfect.  No one package "gets 'em all".  The real question to be answered here is which one is the friendliest to my computer yet still does an acceptable job of detecting viruses?  If I had to choose between Norton or AVG the answer would be AVG every time.  Norton (and McAfee) are notorious for screwing up computers and making user's lives miserable in other ways.  AVG is fast, clean, and does a good job.  It's also free if you're a home user.

Smart question. It is tricky business indeed.\nWell, I recomend:\n- Kaspersky AntiVirus Personal Pro (for antiviral purposes)\n- ZoneAlarm Pro (a truly powerfull firewall, trust me!)\n- Ad-Aware Pro (besides the excellent spyware detection rate is has an useful antispyware shield)\n- Mozilla Firefox (as main browser - it is the safest)\nIf all of this seems too complicated, you might want to try the Kaspersky Security Suite. Anyway I do NOT recommend neither Norton nor Trend Micro. McAfee maybe, or BitDefender Internet Security 2006. This is all. Have fun searching for these on Google.\nI mention that I have tested these all...

McAfee has the latest Internet Security that includes \nVirusScan \nPersonal Firewall Plus \nSpamKiller \nPrivacy Service \nIs the 2006 one and is only 49.99 dollars, its worth. I also wanted free software protection, but did never found a good one, the only free ones, they don't do a sh-it, because they are free. But please do install it, just you will pay on time in one year. Try it!

I prefer Trend Micro. Norton caused me a lot of hangs and crashes. McAfee doesn't update as fast as Trend Micro when a new virus hits the street.\n\nAVG is the best free one.

I have tried AVG but alot of the viruses they just tell you about, and dont delete. Go with the gentlemans advise on AVAST that is what I use now and it is fantastic!! You only pay if you are a buisiness, free for home use. Registry key is free also.
